mannnnnnnn my friend is going Italy not next week the week after that tovisit her sister i wounder are they still filming there beause i was going to make her take pics. man i just thought about she going to mess exams that week to. but she has to start taking them when we get back to school monday hahahah

When I missed the casting call for the women last week I had my friend who is fluent in Italian call the casting director (I found the number on one of the italian blog posts) to see if I could come during the call for the men. His assistant answered the phone. They told my friend that if you weren't at the call you are out of luck. They were only going to see 200 women that day (tuesday this week) who they didn't have time to see last week in addition to the men. The assistant said that she thought the casting was going well as far as a wide variety of ages, she hadn't heard anything about there not being enough "older" people. She also said that they weren't accepting any other form of submission of photos, email or mail, which sucks for me because I had sent photos both ways. So I am out. Thats what I get for a short vaca home. Oh well I still have my reservations in Montepulciano. The assistant did confirm to my friend they are filming the 26th to the 30th in Montepulciano. So I will have to be a spectator...Those of you that were there please keep us posted about your callbacks! I would love to keep in touch and get "inside" info! :))

Did anyone get a callback already?

WHY AREN'T THEY FILMING IN VOLTERRA!?!?!

I was an extra for twilight. Which was absolutly amazing!!!! I wish i live in italy...

I was at the cast on the 29th, and I was talking to the owner of a local bar and he said that they were filming part of the trailer the next day, on the 30th. He told my friend and I to not bother with the casting, there were to many people, and come back the next day.

I love Italy. It's so ancient and contains so much history. You can just experience the history of that city by walking down one of the streets. Some of the old buildings are still there and it's like they're telling you a story. It's a magical place.

That was a off topic.
Those people are so lucky. I hope they do a good job as being extras. Haha.

WE MUST ALL GO TO VANCOUVER AND ITLAY SO WE CAN WATCH EVERYTHING UP CLOSE........<WHISPERS>AND STEAL ROBERT.HEHEHEHEHEHE!!

i want to go to Italy to be in New Moon!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hold on guys... does anyone know why they won't be filming in Volturri? Why the change? I mean there is no comparisson between the two, Volturri is sooo jmuch better than Montepulciano. I'll be staying one night in Venice on 17th May, are they going to be shooting then?Aww I would take a train to Montepulciano just for the slightest chance of being even close to the cast... Lol

I read it was because Montepulciano was better suited for filming and more beautiful than Volterra. Don't know because I haven't visited either yet, but that is what I had read on the gossip sites when they started talking about the change in cities.

You lucky, lucky people =[
I'm so jealous... I wish I was there... aww good luck to those who win... punks!!

i know, right?! my friends and i are so jealous as well! :( to be an extra in the movie . . . it would be just awesome!

Yes =[
To be an extra in ANY of the Saga movies would just be amazing... to be able to meet the cast... ROB... *sighs*
Lucky punks!!

omg. i am sooooo jealous
but also so happy for those who've been there.
it must have been aweeesome
just for the thrill to join something like that - even if you won't get the chance or something.
this is like. the perfect thinges combined - because i loooove acting. and i love twilight even more!
but ofcourse i don't live near... im really getting sick and tired of missing everything! i mean, holland is a pretty nice country to live in, sure, but just..... the big things. the concerts - the movies - everything i want - i don't get.
and its just soooo unfair - random people born in the 'big' countries - just get sooo many opportunities. and like - it's not my fault i wasn't born in the US or something! so.. why cant í, and soooo many others, get thohes chances?
and ofcourse - some might get the permission to fly across the world to meet the crew or something - but my parents won't let me go anyyyyyyyyywhere. i just hate it.
and that's another thing - if i would have been older - i might have gone there on my own. but noooooooo, just because i'm younger i may not enter those competitions or auditions or anything. it's not like i (generally speaking) .. play with dolls or anything. I am very mature for my age (which is only 14, almost 15 T___T) I rather talk with my older friends than with people my age. I plan to do stuff on my own - being organised and stuff. But still the tiny, unimportant number of age matters soooo much. I just hate it - 'when you're older, you can,' or 'when you're a grown up you can choose for yourself'.
gaaaaaaaaaaah.

haha please don't mind my whining mood : D

wow thats alot of people just showing twilight saga is going on world domination lol hahahahahhahah jk ...:D wish i could try out for new moon :(

I'm from florence, not so far from Montepulciano...and I just ca say that we really love Twilight saga..all the books are on the top for being the most brought!
I wasn't there, but I wish...Italy loves Twilight sooooo much!!!

ummm...wont it look a little funny if in the festival scene Bella is running through an enormous crowd of 14 year old girls?? lol

:) always

Okay ma chicas...how about we get a big group New Moon Movie.org road trip going to Montepulciano and see if we can't all get ourselves cast as the group of unlucky Sightseer's/Snack in the Volturi scene!!

Who's with me????

I was there too, probably one of 20 people there who was over 20yrs old. ;) Talked to a girl from Germany who made over 1000 km one way just for casting.
Even if they don' t call me back, it was nice to see the piazza, the fountain, the clock... where the scene will be shoot.

I live in Naples and was totally planning on being there for this, I happen to be in San Diego this week and MISSED IT! I have sent photos into the casting company, but am afraid they won't make it to the right people. Did they by chance give you any contact info of who is the crowd marshall? Did they have you guys read at all? I am 40, and American, so thinking maybe they might actually use someone like me....reading your comments actually has given me some hope! Any info would be great! Thanks!

they jst took pictures of us.... maybe u can bring kids with u at the men casting (i dnt know when it will take place) so they can consider you, for what i know they were really expetcting more kids and +30....

hey i was there!!!!

they jst took pictures of us end they told us they would call us mid may if we were taken...

the organization was baaaad!! i guess we were a thousand people in the end... oh and i heard they were complaining coz they were expecting "older" people and not jst teenagers... mostly female...

oh and there weren't many kids...

I wrote below too, but did you happen to get any contact info on the casting agent?
I live in Naples and happen to be in the States this week. I was sick when I read that I would be out of Italy for this....I have had head shots taken and everything in anticipation of extra casting for this movie! I have half a notion to show up next week when they do the casting for the men....Did they speak english?

awww i wish i could be there too!!! :(

its funny though......you notice how most of the people in that pic are young girls? I hope that they get a good mix of age groups!

i so wish i was there. can't wait to see the part of the movie in italy i hope they make it good

those lucky bastards!.....

I'm trying to remember if they will need extras for Eclipse and Breaking Dawn??? Hmmm maybe for the graduation scene.

wow. Those people are super lucky! Hopefully we'll all get our chance! :D

so jealous! My heart actually aches with jealousy!

I sure hope there are people sneaking into the Italy set to bring us pictures. What I wouldn't give to see the volturi in full wardrobe, and Rob...SHIRTLESS! *screams*

i will be in montepulciano (italian here!!). i hope doing good photos and i'll send to nmmovie staff, of course :)

hope being lucky!

Have I told you that I love you??? :-)

LOL thank you!

it's my duty. i think it's right share my lucky with all the twilighters! :)

Those Lucky Italians!!!

Thats awesome.....some lucky Italians....I tell you.... Tey have an awesome places to live....cool old stuff to look at, sultry dark looks, nice tan skin.....the best food in the world....and they get to be cast as extras.....some people just have it all

Definitely wish I lived in Italy... this would be so fun.

When you're passionate about something, being a part of it, even so tiny, it's definitely awesome and unforgettable. You feel like you're part of the magic.

Omg! That is exactly what I told my Physics group. I mean...why bother helping with building the project...I will just write all the labels because I have the pretty hand writing.

*Disclaimer* Totally joking XD. I am just rather hyper for some reason and it sounded funny in my head and I actually laughed out loud when I read your post and thought of this. I apologize for the kookiness =P.

Hahaha, i laughed out loud!

its getting closer.... cant wait till novemberrrrrr!!!!
lol i think id make a really bad extra i would be so star strcucted! after they yelled "ACTION" i would just be in shock... and couldnt move hahhhaahhaha

I wish I was one of those people dam it!!! I dont care if I only showed up in the movie for at least a sec, but man meeting Rob would've soo been the greatest day of my life

they are SO LUCKY!!!

Why don't I liVe there*!? dammit

Bella running across trying to get to Edward.. Me.. I'd be the one standing next to the fountain..

You see...and this just makes me think that I would be the jerk that just "happens" to walk infront of her as she is running full speed. Or my foot is just a bit further away from my body then it needs to be.

But Alice warned Bella not to trip! Oh the scenerio is going to be amazing, just looking at the city, oh wow.

Lol.. Man I would prob do the same. Mess the whole scene up. Like they would be doing a serious scene or something and I would be there beaming and smiling like an idiot instead of doing what I was suppose to.

LOL! Exactly.. oohh man!! I would LOVE to be in the Volturi scene

lol

Why am I so excited, I'm not even there, I mean I'm not Italian...but weeee hahaha..
I just love seeing things progressing. Can't wait for filming in Italy to start!:D

I remember a friend of mine was so hard up for the Spiderman trilogy that he went and was actually cast as an extra. So when the dvd came out he paused it and was like "OMG THATS ME!!!!" All I saw was a brown mass of hair =P.

that's funny! it must have been a great experience even if you can only figure out his hair! lol

lol two of my friends were cast as extras in saving private ryan...I still can't spot them everytime I see the movie!

WoW! Gosh. What i would give just to be there...

ditto

Damn! I wish I was there!!

same here i wouldnt have them pay me i would be paying THEM!!! hahaha lol omg just to meet the cast wat a dream!!! :o)
Lizzie

Me too! Looks like there's alot of Italian fans too

Me three. I'm jealous.. Lucky italians! :D
