Canadian Mounties Keep Fans Away from New Moon Set

new moon police mounties tofino Radar Online has a brief article about the Canadian Mounties protecting the New Moon set to keep away prying eyes of adoring fans. One of them notes–

“It was an unusual mission but our remit was to keep the fans off the set,” Constable Baillant told RadarOnline.com exclusively. “Everything went well on the first day but then a group of teenage girls got a little too close when the filming moved to the Long Beach area of the island.”

“They were totally miffed with us when we told them that they could not get any closer, however, their spirits lifted when Kristin Stewart came over to pose for a few photographs with them,” he recalled. “It was raining really hard the whole time but the producers loved that because it helped to make their scenes much more gloomy and atmospheric too. This is a beautiful part of the world but when it gets cold and wet even a vampire would get the chills.”

  • If you're curious about mounties and their history, we've just put together a quick YouTube clip called "Why Do Mounties Dress That Way?" that goes behind the scenes with an RCMP officer and delves into the details about the mountie uniform.

    Have a look!

    no po po is keeping me away from ROB i love that man so much


    dont report me plez
  • Kitty kitty
    I doubt Rob was there. He's not in those scenes at the beach. They're doing the cliff dive sequence and scenes with the wolf pack.

    Those girls said they saw Taylor and Kristen coming up the path wet, and wrapped in towels.

    Kristen came out to talk to them later. No mention of Rob
  • I<3EDWARD
    he is evrywhere

    he will stalk you!!!!!!!

    wish he could stalk me i will stalk back at him!!!!!!!!!

    The weird thing about this is that Brendon Baillant is my uncle.
    and I very well doubt it that he will actually let me see the cast...oh well :P
  • Leanneduh
    mounties?
  • i cant wait for new moon to come out im sooo excited but i do agree that fans should stay away and let them shoot
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI
    Hehe yea keep the fans away b/c I think it would kinda be hard to concentrate don't you guys think? Plus, I think we'll be more pleasantly surprised once we get to see the movie =]
    Just sayin'

    I can't blame fans for wanting to see the cast but I do think it is ridiculous that they need "protection" from them. Can't we let them film in peace? We want the best film possible, do you guys agree? So I guess, if "Canadian Mounties" need to keep fans away from the set in order for that to happen, then so be it. I was actually happy when I heard the sets were being guarded by police. It means less distractions for the people at work on the film, not to mention more surprise for us when any footage of the movie actually comes out. (Believe me, I love New Moon news just as much as any obsessed Twilight fan, but it will make it more exciting if we don't know what the footage will really look like.)
  • Jk
    fans should really cool off if not then the movie will not be done in time for the end of the year. I am a fan as well but I wouldn't go out of my way to prolong filming. Besides think of all the money that could be going to more important stuff in the film than on security all around because fans are stalking the sets while filming.
  • Drew
    I thought it was really classy for Kristen Stewart to go over to the fans and sign autographs and stuff. With all the bad rap she got for apparently not understanding twilight fans and why they are so crazy, she needed a press article on this side of her.

    I think she truly understands what fans feel.
  • emma
    Geez people let them film!!!
  • RustyHalo
    I would love to MOUNTIE Rob!!! Haha
  • lizel
    Rob's protector? Where do I sign up? LOL =) I'll leave my work and hubby to be his bodyguard, assistant, body massager, cook, cleaning lady, etc...whatever he needs me doing...I'll do it with a smile LOL...joke!

    Seriously, they need to control the situation to keep the fans from wanting more.
  • Brittney
    I would totally be his bodyguard...but I might have to frisk some of his fellow cast members...and him....can never be too careful. :P
  • Brittney
    haha...sorry for the double posts :P
  • Brittney
    I would totally be his body guard...but I might have to frisk some of his cast members...and him...can't be to careful you know. ;P
  • funny, its nice to hear both sides of the story , all we need to hear now is kristens view on what happend , lol, i thought taylor was there as well? and thats funny about the name 'mounties'lol.
    i guess there not that much crime going on in the area if they have time to stand there all day! why dont they just get security?
  • i love rob
    If they need any help protecting that heavenly body.....I will be more than happy to volunteer!!!! *wink, wink*
  • IndiesR
    Agreed! I'd work around the clock, 24 hrs a day, 365 a yr (if required) all for free access to my little spunk. :)...of course I'll be protecting him...hmmm
  • Gee
    In Canada.. we do not call our police officers "mounties" they are called cops/police officers just like everywhere else
  • Gee
    opps didnt mean to post that twice didnt think it went thru the first time
  • g
    in Canada we do not call our cops mounties.. they are called police officers just like any other place!
  • IndiesR
    Also, my Rob needs extra protection when I'm not arround. LOL
  • Are you feeling the need to protect they one and only Robert LMAO!

    They should be doing everything they can to keep them away, I can only say if it was me trying to do a scene and a bunch off fans where there, screaming or what ever I would get really cheesed off! Just me though.

    I'm sure the cast will be glad to get the films done and over with, only because off the terrible weather conditions that they have to work in. Lucky enough that Robert doesn't this time, he's probably sitting in his nice hotel room with the heating up full blast, thinking, haha your out there freezing your nads off and I'm all warm and cosy LMAO
  • IndiesR
    That's ok, there are just some things we dont need to see unfold until we get to the theater, the element of surprise. :)
