New Shooting Problem: The Plane, The Plane!

Since they are shooting Eclipse in the summer and not in the winter, it looks like David Slade has not, as of yet, had to contend with the weather issues that his predecessors did. You know, things like unexpected downpours, gale force winds, and hail…all on the same day.

Have no fear, he’s discovering another local Vancouver problem: air traffic. We witnessed this ourslef during our set visit where Chris Weitz would set up a shot and then they’d have to wait for the planes.

David recently tweeted the following:

Shot with Rob and Kristen today, both gave great performances. Lots of frustrating noisy planes overhead but beautiful scene regardless.”

Wrapped first week, probably most challenging week of our shoot. Last night Xavier Samuels delivered as astonish power performance, all good.”

Don’t worry about David. He’s found some time to relax. He attended a Dead Weather (if that name isn’t ironic in light of where he’s shootin gwe don’t know what is) concert.

Chance to Meet Jackson Rathbone and 100 Monkeys

We just heard the following from the 100 Monkey’s publicity team:

“We’re going to be picking two lucky fans from our September 12th Vancouver show for a private meet & greet with Jackson and the band.”

So if you are going to be in Vancouver that weekend buy your tickets for the show now before it sells out!

The show is at The Rickshaw Theater, and is a class above the local pubs the band played in last time they had a Vancouver gig (not that there’s anything wrong with a pub band location). The Rickshaw has a great stage and a relatively new sound system so it should be a great show.

The warm up band is Thee Manipulators and the tickets are $20.00. You can purchase your tickets right here.


The new Create Control Live Sessions album is now available at 100MonkeysMusic.com in the Monkey Mart.

It’s also available in MP3 format for you iPod & player junkies

Edi Gathegi On Seeing Rough Cut of New Moon

Bella’s Wedding Dress on InStyle

InStyle asked a couple of top designers for their take on Bella’s wedding dress. You can find their versions here. The sample below is designer Monique Lhuillier’s contribution.

However, Stephenie Meyer once gave out the dress descriptions and photos (seen below) to the Lexicon’s very own TrueLove who used to have a Bella’s Wedding Dress site. That site recently was taken down, but TrueLove gave the photos to us.

Stephenie’s description on the old Lexicon forums was, “I wish I still had the picture I based the description of Bella’s dress on, but it was lost in my fateful computer crash. Those of you who are going with the old fashioned look are on the right track. Two key words to aid in the search: art nouveau. It’s a simpler style than the frillier Edwardian stuff. Elegant white satin, cut on the bias, with long sleeves (the strapless thing is a very recent development. It wasn’t even popular when I was getting married, only 13 years ago, much less during the modest turn of the century). I search google images for the dress every now and then. I’ll let you know if I find something close one of these days.”

Love2dream based on Stephenie’s description, found the above images and asked if she was on the right track. Stephenie replied that the look was close, but not the exact photo that she had seen.

So what do you think of the EW collection and love2dream collection?

New Moon Stars’ Pets

Ashley Greene has brought her new puppy, Marlow, up to Vancouver with her. Kellan Lutz on the other hand has opted to leave his exuberant dog, Kola, at home.

At the Twilight Tour in Atlanta, one fan asked about Kola, and Kellan told a couple of great stories. Kola has every bit as much personality as Kellan does.  If you want a great story ask Kellan about the time he has Kola in his truck and the dog needed to “make  pit stop” but there was no place to pull over. He acts the story out in full detail where he’s looking to pull over, looking at the dog, trying to talk the dog out of doing the inevitable, and when he finally pulls over the dog refuses to go.

Anyway, after such a cute story (and about three more dog stories) one fan asked, “Are you going to take Kola with you to the set?”  Kellan responded words to the effect of Oh no! She’s got way too much energy. She needs a yard to run around and lots of attention. I have friends back in LA who can see that she gets the attention and the exercise that she needs.

Well based on a new set of pictures from Just Jared, we think we understand that energy thing now.

Breaking Dawn: Rumors Rumors Rumors

There are a ton of rumors swirling around the making of Breaking Dawn, so we thought we’d run them down for you.

1.  Boo Boo Stewart (Seth) mentioned that he is signed to the current movie, Eclipse, plus an additional two. This lead to speculation that Breaking Dawn would be split into two parts.  The studio issued a statement to Access Hollywood that, “We appreciate our young actor’s enthusiasm for the franchise and his role, but his comments about the number of films were unfortunately uninformed and not accurate; however, the fans should rest assured the we’re working with Stephenie Meyer to bring ‘Breaking Dawn’ to the big screen.” and then Boo Boo’s reps stated that he only meant to talk about the first movie. So where did Boo Boo’s extra movies come from?  Lots of times actors are standardly signed to a three movie deal regarding whatever project they make so the studio has them if the project takes off for sequels. For example, it’s how Pirates of the Caribbean II and II was made, the actors were signed to a three picture deal. When the first one unexpectedly took off, they were onboard for two more.

2. The Breaking Dawn tab on the Summit Official world of Twilight website would seem to indicate that the studio has acquired the rights to the film, (otherwise huge oops for lisiting something you don’t have the rights to). It could be at any stage of developement.

3. A website listing that Breaking Dawn would be three movies did so just picking up in the fact that the novel has three sections. they don’t have any insider info.

4. Other actors connected to the project supposedly stating that Breaking Dawn would start filming in February in Vancouver, two words: Winter Olympics. Those remarks remain rumor. If any movie manages to film in Vancouver while the city plays host to the Olympics this winter than hats off to them. It would be a logistical nightmare based on the traffic of the incoming visitors, not to mention that local production equipment/people get hired by the out-of-town media from every country in the world that is about to descend.

So what do we think? They’ll probably make Breaking Dawn, but the time frame is unknown.
