Double the Fun: Meet Roberta and Raphael, Kristen Stewart’s and Robert Pattinson’s Stunt Doubles

November 9, 2010

The two of them couldn’t really say much of anything because of the strict confidentiality agreements. However, when Capricho stumbled on to them they were able to share this much:

  • They had to be up at 5:00am for filming today
  • They stated that Robert and Kristen were super nice, polite, and really just like them
  • Roberta thought Kristen was especially nice

EDITED: Additional excellent observation by TwiFans that notice Edward is now wearing a wrist cuff…or make that two

You can see them both below on the dock with Rob and Bill Condon on the first day of filming.

Original Portuguese here. HUGE TY to Blog Twi Brasil for verifying my translation!

Capricho Covers Isle Esme From Their Boat

November 9, 2010

A group of people from Capricho took a trip to the Isle Esme location and took pictures from their boat in the areas where they were permitted. More photos at their site. Full report via Google translation under the cut(sorry running out the door and I don’t have time to clean it up) to stop those of you who are avoiding spoilers from seeing them.

Also a great before and after view of the island on Twilight Treasury. They imported one heck of a lot of sand to fill out the beach.

Edward’s Missing Wrist Cuff Is According To Plan

November 9, 2010

According to the twitter of Sérgio Sá Leitão(seen in blue next to Bill Condon at yesterday’s press conference), the director of Rio Filme, the organization that is working with Summit in Brazil:

“A ilha, a praia e a casa vão ficar lindas em Amanhecer. E não se preocupem com a ausência do bracelete… Tudo de acordo com o planejado.Depende da montagem. Mas se for isso… Está ótimo. Igual ao livro. @karinnasoares: Verdade q só teremos 5min de Brasil no filme Amanhecer?”

or in English

“The island, the beach, and the house will all be beautiful for Breaking Dawn. Don’t worry about the missing bracelet (we assume he means wrist cuff). Everything is going according to plan. Even if Brazil is only in the movie for five minutes after they edit all the footage together, it’s going to be a spectacular five minutes.”

A debate broke out on twitter about Edward not wearing the wrist cuff in the scenes filmed in the Lapa section. As Alison on TwiFans pointed out, “It’s not exactly wedding attire.” Laura joked, “Maybe Bella took it off with her teeth on the plane.”

Another discussion arose surrounding Edward not wearing a wedding ring. Folks immediately went back to the novel where: surprise, surprise there is NO MENTION of Edward having a wedding ring (or the ring part of the ceremony at all for that matter). Another excellent point brought up on Twifans was that prior to WWII it was uncommon for men to wear wedding rings, maybe Edward wouldn’t want one since he was born in 1901?

NOTE: Sergio was responding to multiple questions (like 100’s) regarding the wrist cuff, so we believe he references that and not the charm bracelet.

Breaking Dawn Filming to Start Today in Paraty

November 9, 2010

As we reported yesterday, the production company has moved from Rio to an area called Paratay where the Isle Esme scenes are to be shot. The cast arrived at that location via helicopter.

Specifically the scenes are shot on the island resort we featured yesterday, but the cast and crew are not staying on the resort because it is not able to handle overnight accommodations for such a large team of people. The cast and crew are at a site off-island and brought there each day. Yesterday was a travel and rest day due to the overnight  shooting in the Lapa District the night before.

I can’t find the source at the moment, but one reason given for the back and forth to the island is that the resort is fairly open to the elements and if it rains (part of current forecast) it isn’t very protected and they’ll have to go for different shots.

The navy is providing security for both the inn where the cast is currently staying and the filming site. Apparently people have tried to access both sites and have been turned away. It seems that no one is able to be closer than 200 yards in either case. There is at least one major Brazilian entertainment outlet that has rented a boat and is at anchor at the established 200 yard perimeter.  Whether or not they will be able to capture any footage besides arrivals on the island is unknown.

We will post arrival footage in plain site when it is available, other footage will be below spoiler cuts. If you are visiting our page directly, the spoiler cut is obvious like the one at the bottom of this entry marker “spoiler click to read more”. Realize that if you are coming to our site via Twitter, Facebook or a direct link the spoiler cut is not there(just the way the software works), but you will see the term “spoilers below the cut” so if you don’t want to be spoiled, STOP when you see the word “spoiler”

The consensus seems to be a filming starting this afternoon, but that info has changed several times.

TwiBlogBrasil has a good rundown with great translation.

What’s In a Name? A Lot If Your Name Is Stephanie Meyers!

November 8, 2010

This story reminded me of this perfectly happy person I used to work with until the circa 1992.  Her name was Aimee Fischer. She spent a lot of time over the next two years saying, “No, not THAT Amy Fisher, and I spell my name differently!”

Check out the following interview from Galley Cat

“Meet Harper Perennial editor Stephanie Meyers. She has blond hair, an obsession with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and reserves her editing pen for nonfiction books, not writing vampire novels. If you look closely, you will see that her name is only two letters off from the name of Twilight‘s famous author.

Meyers recently co-edited a book of essays entitled The Atheist’s Guide to Christmas with Robin Harvie and it features an essay by writer Andrew Shaffer (better known as Evil Wylie/Emperor Franzen).

However, if you want to find her on Google, you need to be very specific with your keywords. When asked if she would do an interview, the editor responded: “I’d love to talk to you about my name doppelganger situation—anything to reclaim a tiny piece of the Google search pie.”

Our interview follows below…

Q: So Ms. Stephanie Meyers, can you please spell you name for me?
A: S-T-E-P-H-A-N-I-E-M-E-Y-E-R-S.

Q: Have you got a funny anecdote about the connection with your name and the Hachette author that the whole world kind of knows about?
A: Well it was funny, I think the first time it really hit home, I got a phone call on my work line and someone said ‘Is this Stephenie Meyer’s?’ and I said ‘Yes’ and they’re like ‘Oh my God! I can’t believe I’m talking to you!’ And I was confused because you know, I think I’m awesome but most of the rest of the world doesn’t know that much about me and then after ‘Oh, oh, you mean the vampire novelist…’”
