Official Italian Twilight Website Denies Montepulciano Shooting Dates

montepulciano new moon

The official Twilight blog from Eagle Pictures, distributors of Twilight in Italy, have denied rumors of New Moon being shot between May 25th and May 30th in Montepulciano, Italy. It is important to note that they do not deny that the movie will be shot in Montepulciano, only that the dates are incorrect.

In Italian: “Dobbiamo invece darvi una brutta notizia: la Pro Loco di Montepulciano ci ha scritto comunicandoci che l’amministrazione comunale ha smentito i rumour sulle date delle riprese italiane di New Moon nella città: le date 25/30 maggioattualmente non sono certe, né confermate. L’unico organo che potrà dare notizie certe a riguardo sarà il comune di Montepulciano stesso, dal quale ci aspettiamo un comunicato ufficiale quanto prima. Questo non smentisce le riprese, ma solo le date precedentemente segnalate…”

English Translation: “We have to give you some bad news: the Pro Loco (tourism office) of Montepulciano wrote us to say that the municipality administration denied the rumours on the dates of the shooting of New Moon in Italy: The dates of 25-30th of May actually are neither certain, nor confirmed. The only official channel enabled to provide sure information regarding this matter will be Montepulciano’s municipality, from which we’ll be expecting an official communication shortly. This does not deny the shooting in Montepulciano, just the dates reported before…”

Thanks to TwilightItalia for the translation!

    Hi,
    I'm from Germany, sorry for my bad english.
    I'm crazy and desperate, too.
    We want book the flight and hotel in Montepulciano...
    But can we be sure, that they are shooting there?
    Is anybody here from Italy, who can confirm anykind of rumors for 25-30 may?
    Pls reply!!!
  • thanks Bea, omg, thats further then i thought, im still gonna go though! i live in holland, excited, thats a understatement for me, im going crazy! i will bethere in the second week of may so im keeping my fingers crossed i will see someone famous but if not , im still gonna be over the moon just being there!
  • Bea
    Sarah Caine: there are 180 Km = 90min by car mor or less,its,near....I'have booked my hotel in Montepulciano .....I hope they will be there....
    I'm from South of Spain,and I'm very excited with the film...
  • ive booked a hotel in volterra!, does anyone know how long it takes to get from there to montepulciano by car ?
  • Lorri
    Pink Punk83 Yeah... really! Sono Americana ma abito Pozzuoli (Na) con il militare. I am very excited to live so close. Whatever the dates are, which probably will never be "officially" released because of crowd control and security issues, it will be totally cool to be able to be there and have a place to stay unlike some of my friends here that are scrambling. Plus I haven't been north of Rome yet, which everything is supposed to be so beautiful!
  • pinkpunk83
    tuscany is gorgeous! enjoy your trip!
    so, it's a problem for sleeping! (i'm from south and my friends from north, no one from tuscany -.-)
    some ideas will come...i hope! XD
  • Lorri
    There are hotels around Montepulciano, (I checked last night) still available, but nothing in town. I don't know how driving or parking would be, it doesn't look too far to maybe even walk, not sure though, and I know Montepulciano is on a hill so?? I would make reservations now, most places you can cancel up to a couple days in advance if you can't come. That is how I have the whole month reserved, I just have to make sure I cancel in time, or I will have a huge bill to pay! Just look at the online hotel booking sites and you can get a good overview of hotels and if you click on the map you can see where the hotels are located in relation to the town center. Good luck!
  • pinkpunk83
    thank you, lorry. you're so kind! :)

    i was thinking about booking in some near town with train station (we have no cars)...hope we will be lucky :)
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI
    Yea that's why I'm not counting on anything for sure until they OFFICIALLY state it... lol... we tend to get a little overly-excited don't we now? haha!!
    I do hope they shoot in Italy though, if not Volterra @ least this place b/c it's truly beautiful =]
  • Lovin_the_Cullens_n_Bella
    Uhhhh I think they're toying with the fans....they don't want a huge crowd there, so they're thinkin'..."let's just say we aren't going that week and no one will show up," anyways that's what I'm thinking.....
  • hi
    Italy looks just like i imagined!!! cant wait to see volturi cast
  • Lorri
    As soon as the announcement was made yesterday, I got the last room in the historic center of Montepulciano during those days. Let me tell you EVERYTHING is booked. Whether they are there then or not, the town will be busy. Just in case though I have a reservation for the whole month!, I Live in Naples so Montepulciano is only about 4 hours away, so I can go whenever.
  • pinkpunk83
    really lorri??? O__O
  • karen
    that's really nice, im from abu dhabi and i will be in milan on may22 and 23, i kept on debating whether i should hop on a train to montepulciano or not, im really scared since i'd be travelling by myself and the dates that i did get doesnt coincide with any filming dates... :(
  • pinkpunk83
    i'm really sorry for you.

    anyway dates are 25/30 may. summit doesn't confirm but there are official papers of montepulciano municipality which confirm...
  • i wonder how long they will be flimming there if the dates r right maybe they will be there longer than 5 days
  • sarah caine
    yeay!!! there is still a chance i will be there! ive booked according to the first rumour, second week in may! i have seen a few dates on the internet that the film is being shot from 20 march (i think) up until 23 may (again i think that was it, have to check) anyway! the dates recently given was after the original schedual dates! now i confusing myself!
  • pinjablaah
    I think they know the dates already, they just don't want to have the screaming fans there. They are kinda playing a game
  • pinkpunk83
    yeah! i agree!
    i'm italian and i want to be there for the shots!
    ...but...
    if i'm not sure about the dates, i don't know if i'll go in montepulciano and so will be for many other people.
  • pinjablaah
    I'm from finland and dad promised to me that we could go to italy like in the end of may or beginning of june, beacuse my dad have to be in milan and then we could take our flights to rome and drop by volterra and montepulciano :D i got huge plans :D
  • pinkpunk83
    good for you girl! you're very lucky :)
    enjoy our country!!! XD

    i have some administrative expiration for my university degree on the beginning of june, so i hope the dates will be the same...

    i met robert and kristen in rome film festival press conference, but (i'm a cinematography student) i'd like to see also filming the scenes...

    it's awful being in agitation about this! -__-
  • They are not going to assure the date to evoid big crowds
  • MoreThanMyOwnLife
    I will bet that the dates that we originally suspected are TRUE! I think they would lie about the dates being wrong to control crowds. THey have to get really sneaky this time around since everyone is on the look out to ask rob to bite them.
  • loveacloudyday
    I was thinking the same thing...
  • Eh do anybody else think they are trying to throw the fans off the "scent" Lmao. its went from being confirmed to now they dont know. Could be that they are only just saying it so they dont get screaming fans on set, who knows, as usual we'll have to wait for an official announcment. SPEAKING OFF WHICH SUMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
