Want a Window Seat to Watch Filming? Going Rate is $30 a Person

According to FoForks people with apartments in the downtown area are selling their window views to fans who want to watch filming at roughly 30 American dollars a person(50 Brazil Reais).

Hopefully they actually see Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart for that price and not just background action. They also had to get there very early, because police blocked off access to non-residents and residents without address identification.

Full story on R7

Earlier today there was unrest in the area resulting in police being called in.

There were incidents of arson when residents without identification were being denied access to their homes. Current reports from TwiBlogBrasil Twitter indicate that the security is keeping crowds back to allow for movement of vehicles, arrival of actors, etc. They crowd is excited but not unruly.

Lots more photos of Rob and Kristen here.

Assumptions are that it’s an early arrival scene in Brazil in transit to Isle Esme.

Rob steering the boat goes just about as well as you would think it does.

TV In Brazil Covers the Jonas Brothers and Breaking Dawn

The Breaking Dawn coverage happens around the 2:30 mark. It’s in Portguese, but the pictures give you a good idea.

Middle-aged, pasty, white guys w/ glasses…that’s all I’m sayin’ …:)

Hush Hush Filming in LAPA Section

There will be some type of filming going on in the LAPA section. However, unlike the Marina where things will be in plain view (to some extent) of the public, barriers have been erected. Foforks witnessed the barriers being set up very early this morning for a shoot taking place hours later.

According to the report on Foforks, the residents of the area are having some trouble accessing their homes in that they have to produce ID to prove that they live there. Anyone who has been hired as an extra (earning approximately $70 US dollars accoridng to Fofork’s Twitter)has signed a confidentiality clause with a severe monetary penalty if they disclose details on what is filmed. Similar confidentiality clauses are in place in all areas of production from cameramen to limo drivers.

The most that is known is that the extras have been instructed that they are just to go about their business in the scenes being shot and not to look at Rob and Kristen so that it just looks like a normal background with nothing unusual.

Apparently this “you need to show ID before you get home” thing isn’t going so well.

Brazil Breaking Dawn Filming at a Marina

Originally it was thought that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart would be filming in the streets in the LAPA section tonight. Instead they have been seen in the marina district where Rob is behind a wheel of a boat. There is some debate as to if this will be an actual shoot (given what they are wearing) or just a rehearsal for a later scene. Update: they have apparently wrapped Robert and Kristen who are on dinner break. They may shoot more after dinner or leave it to stunt doubles. Also newly appearing photos on Quem (scroll down)clearly indicate that Rob is in make-up so it was not just a rehearsal. According to the latest, they are done with dinner and driving around in the boat. Photos here.

It was verified by the RK_Br Twitter and BlogTwiBrasil that director Bill Condon was on site.

Given Rob’s previous experience w/all things mechanical, we’d just like to wish them all luck.

You can see more photos on Foforks and via Quem (aka Who magazine)

All photos are taken from behind established barriers.

Brazil Filming: The Sunday Update, Lapa Streets Blocked Off and Stephenie Visits With Fans

According to FoForks a series of streets in the LAPA section of Rio are closed today for Breaking Dawn filming. Preparations included changing the names on the street signs and adding in some graffiti. Rumor has it that it’s a scene involving a taxi driving through the streets of Rio. There is also some speculation about a scene involving Jacob and Nessie on the run in Rio (Bella’s vision/plan in Breaking Dawn II). However, in that neither Taylor Lautner nor MacKenzie Foy have been spotted in Brazil, that is seeming less likely.

Filming is scheduled for around 8:00pm local time. It is unknown whether anything will be filmed within sight of crowds standing behind established barriers. For other movies various outdoor scenes have been observable such as the confrontation with the frat boys in Twilight, the Italy scenes in New Moon, and Riley’s transformation in Eclipse.  Other times outdoor sequences have kept the crowds at bay such as footage shot a Jacob’s house during both New Moon and Eclipse. Assuming fans standing behind barriers will be able to see, we will have that footage later.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart (or Ashley Greene for that matter) have not ventured outside the hotel. Stephenie Meyer has gone out. Yesterday she had dinner out with fellow producer Wyck Godfrey(I told you guys in Brazil you should be paying more attention to the middle-age, pasty, white guys in glasses! :p If Wyck was their earlier and unobserved, you can bet Bill Condon is there too! ). One fan who was eating at the same restaurant has her account on Foforks.

“Look, me, my mother and my friends (and Rafaella Julia Perez, and her sister) Found Out That Stephenie was going to Porcão (restaurant), and went there. Then, we got in, made friendship to the waiter, and When We Were done eating, Looked at her table and saw her coming to Our table. Then I thought, “Wow, I can not believe it.” Then she cam, Talked to us, I Told her I have a blog and like to write, and She Gave Me the super advice, she told me to never stop writing , told me to write EVERY day, all my dreams, my desires, That Was That She started this way. She was really caring and affectionate, I loved her. Then she signed books and took Our pictures, then left. There Were her with the security, the translator and another security. She looks like a doll and is really caring, and I loved meeting her.”

After the filming tonight, which could go quite late, the cast and crew are going to move to the Isle Esme location which by all reports is a distance from Rio and has to be reached via boat and/or helicopter.

Video: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Pose With Fans at the Airport

The other day we told you about Bruna who was able to get her photo taken with Stephenie, Rob, and Kristen at the airport. There is now video footage of the encounter. You can see how it’s pretty low-key not a swarm of people, and that Rob and Kristen are really relaxed about the whole thing.
