A Twilight Saga Fansite
The Robert Pattinson Life site has several pictures taken of Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Taylor Lautner and probably a few humans (It’s hard to tell under the hoods.)
We realize that in several shots there is a Black Volvo that is a completely differnt model and color than what Edward drove in Twilight. It is currently unknown if that is “Edward’s Car”, a backgound vehicle, or if it is Edward’s car if it will be colorized silver in post production.
We knew that one of the first things that they were going to film for Eclipse was the school scenes. Producer Wyck Godfrey told us “NEVER AGAIN” would they film while school was in session because it was really problematic.
They had everything from people unexpectedly in the halls screaming when they saw Rob ( I mean wouldn’t you ask for a hall pass if Robert Pattinson was in your building filming?) to the student body looking through window from a courtyard so that the actors had a hard time concentrating because of everyone’s faces pushed into the glass. So, it should come as no surprise that they did the school scenes yesterday since school isn’t in session up in Vancouver yet.
Vancity Allie, a local blogger about all things Vancouver, was there to capture a few photos and give her write up. See Allie’s story and more photos here.
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.
It’s always interesting when franchise movies change directors. Everyone has something new to bring to the project. So far from what we can tell as the casual observer, David Slade seems to be plowing ahead with efficiency while maintaining a sense of humor.
In the last couple of days, sets in very different locations have gone up in the afternoon, have had shooting done at night, and by mid morning all traces are gone. Quite impressive. At the same time, after undergoing what is obviously a long night of shooting, David had tweeted to fans about a joke picture he took with the prop guys.
Mandy, talks about seeing this uber organization first hand, where a scene under a bridge involving Bryce Dallas Howard and Xavier Samuel was done in a heartbeat, while still having attention to detail.
“I was not at all surprised to see NOTHING left…
I know lot’s of people don’t have sets in their own backyard but shooting a scene takes tons of time, money, people and equipment…
I am so impressed so far with how “on the ball” David Slade is.
I remember when I met him outside Blue Water Cafe for the Cast Party at the end of New Moon. He stopped to chat with me and to clear the air about the things he had previously said about Twilight Saga…. he was cordial and really quite sweet… and short… but anyways…. so far this director has been in and out of multiple sets using perfect locations and just hammering it out quick and easy…
So yes, when I saw nothing at under the bridge today I was not shocked… David Slade and his crew are good – really good!”
Check out Mandy’s full report here including pictures of Bryce and Xavier that are a bit spoilerish. So, if you don’t want to see what could be termed a Victoria’s point of view scene, don’t click this link, however this link is safe.
Mandy also mentions some of the craziness that is happening on the local Vancouver air waves and in the print media.
“Last night, we stumbled upon this set while re-visiting a previous set used for New Moon. We were excited to see another live set but did not stay long as they quickly blocked the view with several screens and large trucks…I had been texted a few seconds earlier by a friend saying “some dumb broad called the radio and claimed they would tell everyone where the set was after the break”…I have actually had massive arguements with people about publicizing set locations when you can’t control who hears… meaning crazy people hear and show up and act – well… crazy!)”
It looks like true to the novel Eclipse, Jane and Demetri will be on hand to witness the aftermath of the battle with the newborn army.
Dakota Fanning was spotted shopping in Vancouver and Charlie Bewley, who plays Demetri, tweeted at approximately 3:00AM Vancouver time: “MORNING!! Doing a thruey to reset bodyclock for first night on Eclipse – going to be awesome FYeyes… Fire up x”
Twifans visited the set location of Wednesday’s/Thursday’s night/morning shoot, and from behind the established public barrier managed to snap a photo of Jack Hutson as Royce King II. Fabulous spotting on their end! I don’t know that many people would have realized straight off that it was Jack.
Speaking of Wednesday’s/Thursday’s night/morning shoot it must have been interesting, because the Vancouver Sun and Perez Hilton broadcast the location of the shoot on their respective blogs and websites—which later turned out to be dead wrong. We are wondering if that was a bit of brilliant studio manipulation, or just plain old getting a bad tip.
In the end, it was at a barn type place frequently used by various movies, TV shows, and commercials shot in Vancouver.Mandy explains in it her write up. According to Mandy that while there were certainly fans around and police were present for traffic safety and crowd control, the crowd stayed behind the barrier and was cooperative.
And lastly David Slade and the crew seem to be getting on great! David at 6:00am Tweeted that a photo he posted earlier was a trick pulled off by him and the crew. “Sorry the fish is fake, thrown by props dept, don’t tell national geographic.”
EDITED: Interesting info in the comments on it being Kevin Zegers. Definitely running contrary to all media reports available at the time of posting. We figured it could be Royce when he’s “on the run” we figured that he might look a bit disheveled by then. We attributed the red-eye effect to…well…regular amatuer camera red eye effect, but excellent point on…well…duh, vampire! We will check it out. Stay tuned!
According to The Hollywood Reporter who earlier today told us about the casting of Jack Huston as Royce King II, has now announced that Catalina Sandino Moreno will play Maria, the vampire who turns Jasper.
“The Colombian-born Sandino Moreno most notably starred in “Grace,” in which she played a pregnant teacher who becomes a drug mule, as well as Steven Soderbergh’s epic “Che” and the upcoming indie drama “Frail,” in which she plays the title character, who’s described as a naive Midwestern girl.”
TY to Nena and Larry Richman for giving us the heads up, love ya, Larry!
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Jack Huston will be portraying Royce King II. To jog your memories, Royce is Rosalie’s fiance back when she was human.
Congrats, Jack, on playing what is probably the only character that every Twilight fan hates! Don’t take it personally, it just comes with the territory on who he is. 🙂
Just about everyone is covering the fact that the Eclipse cast is back in Vancity, AKA Vancouver. Press, fans, paparazzi are all there.
The Vancouver Sun gives a rundown of the happenings, and gives a special shout out to hometown girl Jodelle Ferland who is in the movie as an unnamed newborn vampire. Most sources are speculating it’s the character or equivalent of Bree.
RadarOnline, EXTRA, everyone has pictures, too many to count. Anyway to sum up the overabundnace of pictures, Nikki Reed, Bryce Dallas Howard, and Ashley Greene have some seriously cool handbags. However what made our day was this shot of Xavier Samuel. Seriously, we’re starting to wonder if it is a prerequisite to be a musician to be in this movie!
