This new video of Robert Pattinson being hounded by paparazzi while trying to get into a building is kinda hard to watch. I feel sorry for the guy. The French announcer is pretty funny though–it sounds like she is having a really good time at around one minute into it.
The group of red buildings that appeared to be the set for Jacob’s place in New Moon are increasingly becoming verified as the real McCoy . In contrast to the photos we brought you previously, this video by YouTuber brieleigh84 shows that only three cars remain on the set–including the Volkswagen that we assume will be used as Jacob’s car, an old truck, and the security guard’s truck.
There’s a little bit of action on the New Moon set. Crew are working on the ramp, you can see someone carrying Billy Black’s wheelchair inside, and a portable toilet is delivered on a truck. I spoke to someone today, and when I asked if New Moon was being filmed here, his response was “It’s an untitled sports movie” I then asked if the Director’s name was Chris Weitz and he just smiled and chuckled a bit. I also asked if there would be any filming this week. He didn’t really respond and then apologized that he couldn’t tell me….I also noticed that they have added moss to the roof of the house, to make it look old.
UPDATE: Check after the break for some pics that brieleigh84 sent me, of what looks like Jacob Black’s dad’s wheelchair and the ramp for Billy Black’s wheelchair. [click to continue…]
Kristen Stewart says rehearsals are almost done and now that they’ve got the look of the movie set in stone with the new costumes and filming style, she says the revamped style of the movie is “strikingly beautiful–not that it wasn’t last time–but the vampires look great”.
Kristen Stewart has revealed that the process of the creating the fateful cliff dive scene in New Moon has already begun–
“I had to go in and do a head-scan the other day,” Kristen Stewart revealed to MTV News over the weekend, discussing a recent Vancouver appointment to create a computer-generated doppelgänger for a key “New Moon” scene.
The CGI-Bella will appear during a moment Twilighters have long dreamt of watching with their own eyes: the cliff-diving scene. In “New Moon,” Bella becomes so distraught over her breakup with Edward that she dives off a precipice into the icy waters below, hearing his voice whenever she places herself in danger. Fans care so much about the pivotal “New Moon” moment that some have even created their own videos depicting how it should go down. Until now, the biggest question has been whether Stewart would do the stunt herself.
“I went to do a head-scan the other day and it had to be my ‘determined’ look,” she laughed. “They were like, ‘You’re just about to jump, so [pretend] like you’re about to scream or something.’”
Even during the scan, however, Stewart was determined to develop her character. “I was like, ‘No, no, no. She’s set [to do it],” the actress said on Bella’s determination to make the jump.
This is really exciting news, and makes me wonder even more what the scene will look like–since it’s in CGI, with her real face, it would be really neat if the camera followed her down as she jumped!
The local news in NYC have a great segment about the charity work that Ashley Greene did for DonateMyDress.org. She calls Dakota Fanning “a little 30 year old” in relation to how much experience she has. She also says that the film is shooting in Vancouver and Tuscany. The fact that she says Tuscany instead of Volterra doesn’t yet confirm the rumor of New Moon filming in Montepulciano, Italy, but it does seem to suggest they won’t be shooting in Rome. Ashley Greene is always so poised and well-spoken. What a gal!
The University of Washington Alumni Magazine has an interesting interview with the principal of Forks High, the school from the Twilight Saga books. He talks about all the curious fans that visit nowadays–
We’ll walk out onto the street and see them standing in front of our building, taking pictures by the sign. And you can pretty much count on a large number of fans coming during breaks. Spring break was huge last year. And because it’s staggered when different schools around the country take their breaks, we had it for about two months solid-just an astronomical number of people coming by, taking pictures and walking through the school. During the summer, there are people every single day. School’s not in session, obviously, but there’s still some staff around, and they come up and knock on the door, and we let them in and say hi and show them around. Last year, the city dedicated Sept. 13 as Stephenie Meyer Day, and we opened up the school for Twilight tours. And we had hundreds of people coming to the building that day.
She called Nikki Reed funny! (Who knew?!) And Taylor Lautner “adorable.” (Uh… duh!). Check out the vid below!
Ashley also revealed to a reporter that new director Chris Weitz is “going to be focusing on the artistic side and showing some of our characters’ little quirks [more than the first film did].”
