Filming Begins at Bella’s Vancouver House Set Tonight

Bella's House New Moon

Filming will begin this evening at the new version of Bella’s House custom built as an exact replica of the house used in Twilight. The Now has an article about the number of fans–or as they say, “crazies”–converging on the set:

The structure is nothing but a shell meant for exterior shots, but it requires around-the-clock security to keep rabid fans from doing damage to it.

It has a chimney made of flimsy styrofoam, after all.

Imported trees and rearranged telephone poles help make things look authentic, too.

Filming at the site will begin tonight (Friday), the Now has learned. City-issued signs warn of road closures starting April 24.

“I don’t like going to the film sets when they’re shooting,” [one woman from Burnaby visiting the house] said, “because there are too many crazies hiding in the trees and everywhere.”

When filming starts in South Surrey, huge black screens will serve to block views of the action.

    Forget stalking her house. If I was in Vancouver I'd be trying to figure out what gym the wolf pack hangs out at.
  • TeamJacob
    I'd like to know that to ;)
    but it looks like taylor has his own stuff already set up in his truck so probably no luck there

  • I do kinda feel bad for the workers, but if I was there I would be doing everything possible to be near the set. We're all crazy! I'm so excited for this movie, I've never followed a movie before. From pre production till the end, and this is so much fun!. Thank you NMMovie.org!
  • Imagine how much grief we've saved the cast and crew by giving so many people an outlet for virtual-set-visits online! Only one person needs to visit the set, and 1000's get to experience it second-hand. =)
  • burningeternalember
    they should give you an award for helping keep the crews and cast sanity intact!
  • ya i agree
  • mlj (Team Pea Coat)
    I am so addicted to the website....may I admire you now for being at the helm?
  • Again, thank you for your dedication to the Twilight world! :)
  • Elloo

  • lol... same here.. newmoonmovie.org has become my homepage so everytime i log on i see what new has gone on... This is SOO exciting. I must say I did do this for Cirque du Soleil though.. I watched the fire within series about the making of verakai and then it made the live show that much more exciting.. I doubt that will have anything on my new moon experience, tho!!
  • beeee2222

  • Majnona (H.N)
    That's exactly what I'm saying. I bet if we were anywhere near those sets we would've stalked too.I would have, I am that crazy! hell I'm on this site 24/7 waiting for a fan encouter or a shaken video of the stars walking in and off the set, so I really wouldn't miss a chance to see all that by myself , I mean I don't really see the difference, they can get that near and I can't that's the only difference.
  • i love rob
    Exactly!!!! Well said!
  • WetDishRag (AKA deedee81)
    I really wish they would stay away from the set, its frustrating enough reading it so I can't imagine how frustrated the crew is. Back off everyone and show some respect.
  • mlj (Team Pea Coat)
    You tell them girl!
  • i love rob
    ooohhhh...nice picture!!!
  • i love rob
    Amen to that!!!
  • RobRocks
    I agree.
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover
    AGREED! I get it but good freaking grief. True fans would give some respect and back off. It's like . . . do we want them to make a good movie or not?!

    *growls*
  • WetDishRag (AKA deedee81)
    I can hardly keep my eyes open and I'm trying to convince myself to stay up for the postings on ET but I don't know if it's worth it or not LOL
  • bean... I neeeeeeed iiiittt!
    I know the feeling, I'm shattered after a long & busy week. But I'm gonna try & hang on in there for a bit longer - I'm sure more shots of Jacob looking super-tall & buff will wake me up. :)
  • tweter76 . . . vamplover
    I'd just wait til tomorrow!
  • RustyHalo
    God help the crazies in the trees. Who do they think they are? Spider monkeys??? jk.
    Anyway am I the only one who thinks the dang chimney looks amazing for being 'flimsy styrofoam'??? It looks so real!??!! Getting excited about a chimney, yeah, that's me. lol
    I'm also kinda curious about the yellow bag?
  • TrulyDazzled
    I think the chimney looks good. Very realistic. Its okay to get excited over a chimney.. ur allowed. :)
    hmm.. strange, I have no idea what that yellow bag is for..
    Im excited for new moon!
  • MEGAN.
    People need to seriously lay off. They're giving the rest of us a bad name.
  • bxbaby8827
    I agree. Stalkers and crazies are destroying our "reps". When is the madness going to end???!!??
  • I agree, although I've said I'd do anything to be near the set. However, that doesn't mean trashing the place and getting on the crew's nerves. It's a little ridiculous.
  • ... I agree to that.. but online stalking is ok. Not stalking so much as knowing what is going on every second!!
  • burningeternalember
    Seriously there is a really good percent of us that are perfectly normal who just happened to get absorbed by this saga, Its really kinda of pathetic to be sneaking around in the woods...... I think that twilight has some of the most amazing, deep and intelligent fans in the world, the best fans in the world in my opinion, but these out of control stalker type fans are toally starting to get on my last nerve. Back off, lay, off get a life........ what ever you need to do, just let the cast and crew do there jobs and follow the sites there are TONS and keep updated like a normal flippin person, edward is not going to suddenly appear in all his glory and bite your stupid AZZ!
  • i think the crazies are paparazzi in the making..
    they'll grow up to be Lainey Gossip's, Perez' and paps..

    plus.. it gives us 'intelligent fans' (yes i see myself that way, ever since i decided to not spend a couple of hundred bucks on flying to italy just to visit montewhatever and probably end up not seeing the cast because of 2.000 crazy italians beating me there) a bad name..

    (plus.. i don't really feel teh need to see Rob or Kristen in real life.. Ashley would be cool, but that's more because she just comes off so cool and sweet and cute..)
  • Dangerous
    This is crazy. Why can't fans just back off so they can film this movie. They are just causing more problems for film crew and the stars.
  • Marystat
    I agree. I am amazed that they haven't been delayed by all the crazy fan on the set. They have really been an efficient cast and crew! It doesn't help with the local tabloids spreading info about the set locations either....
  • bxbaby8827
    Wow!! Crazies are on the loose!!! lol
  • OCDJenni
    I know! I thought that was quite funny and would exactly what I'd say about them lol


    Everyone here is making such great comments about it all too. It seems that at least we are understanding and respectful : )
  • Kimberlina Dirty Pirate Hooker
    YES!! I wonder what they're filming...So excited!
  • i love rob
    I have scenes running through my head....when Edward and Bella are in front of her house, just before he takes her for the "walk"....When she's leaving for italy and jacob begs her to stay wit him......

    OMG!!! I'm so excited........I can't wait til November!!!! I need the trailer!!!!
  • RobRocks
    I need it too. Its never enough, I think my husband and family are twilighted out. I should make them read the books and watch the movie...
  • Kimberlina Dirty Pirate Hooker
    I am SO excited too! All the possibilities for those scenes... UH! The "walk" will be so sad...I'll need to take a box of tissues!!
  • RobismySL_ TeamPatzz&Stewy
    Hahaha..Yeah Crazies is the right word!!! lol These fans need to calm themselves!! Thats really cool..But they said its mostly for outside shots!! I hope they get the scene where Edward and Bella are watching Romeo and Juliet together and they are cuddling then all the sudden charlie walks in!!! I think that would be a good scene for the movie!! lol
  • Daniela23
    Yeah, I want to see when they're watching Romeo and Juliet too, because I loved when Edward quotes Romeo in Volterra. :)
    But this is just a shell, that house doesn't have rooms so I guess that's why they are filming just outside.
    I hope they filmed or they are going to film that scene somewhere else.:D
  • hayles85
    omg people can be so pathetic!!! Why can't they piss off and let them get on with filming??!! And then they wonder why the security men etc are rude to them?!
  • JennaHeartsJacob
    fliming begins today guys!!!
    "too many crazies hiding in the trees" hahaha
  • Irishgirl
    Someone should let her know that about 75% of the time, the "crazies in trees" are paparazzi trying to get set shots. Not saying there aren't Twi-hard crazies in the trees too. Every fanbase has their crazies.
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel
    omg I hope that they drag all the "Crazies" from the nearby trees, bushes, streams etc so we won't actually SEE them in the movie! LMAO!
  • OhEdward (The Original)
    They should do a sweep, beating the bushes and trees with sticks to flush them out. Can you imagine the screaming paparazzi fallout. Hahahaha. But in all seriousness, I'm happy to see that they have gone to such great lengths to recreate the house for consistency - I hope this much detail will be paid throughout the movie.
  • joanna86 aka Charlie's Angel
    hahaha! oh yeah they should! :D I just hope they won't set fire to the bushes - I don't support cruelty ;P

    The house is recreated nicely... however now I'm not sure if I can stop myself from thinking about a styrofoam chimney every time I see it in the movie :P
  • OhEdward (The Original)
    Yes, maybe too much information. I just want to watch - not go "how did they do that?" at least about the set - the actors - yes please!
  • twifan89
    LMAO hahaha! if they are in the shots they can put "crazy number 1...crazy number 2" in the credits LOL!i wonder if they will be shooting exterior shots from the house at the time when edward leaves!?!? EXCITING!!
  • Crazies..

    that's how i'm gonna call the 'creepy stalker fangirls' from now on


    they truly are..


    but i like their updates and drive-by videos and photos..
    if only they were more interesting to watch than just seeing a house or a couple of trees with a greenscreen..

    anyway.. lol at the crazies..
  • Majnona (H.N)
    Ok I think it's crazy too but to be honest if I were any where near Vancouver by now I bet I would've positioned myself on a tree already.
  • Erica22
    The "Crazies" may be dedicated and all, but still, they need to bring it down a few notches. They have to wait until November ,like the rest of us.
  • 30yearoldtwifan "Team Slade"
    Oh No NOT more crazies!! lol
  • hartsafire
    True but if it weren't for them, then some of the stuff we get to see and read about on here would never have been posted. I still agree there is a time and a place, and a way to go about things that they need to tone it down a tad.
  • 30yearoldtwifan "Team Slade"
    Im just laughing at how many times I heard the word "crazies" today thats all. lol

    No ,I agree I mean we have to let them work we do need our next 3 movies out! :-) but if they were filming in my jersey you also might find me in a tree, I know Indes would be right next to me :-)
  • burningeternalember
    Yeah well i think maybe they need to unleash the wolf pack on the crazies (teach them some gosh darn manners) There is a fine line people and we all know that twilight can take you hostage and never ever to realese you, but you have to exersise at least a margin of self control, freaking out on poor Rob is SO not an attractive quality. Hiding in the bushes also NOT very inventive, if they have to be insane and stalk new moon then they could at least use some creativity!
  • 30yearoldtwifan "Team Slade"
    I love your comments burningeternalember! you and cullengirl are 2 of my top blogger comments I love to read :-)
  • burningeternalember
    I really enjoy yours as well, some of us seem to be lucky enough to have a lil extra insight, its nice to share it with such dedicaded other fans!
  • Cullengirl
    Ugh the few bad apples are giving the rest of us a bad rap and we don't deserve it.
  • TEAM EDWARD
    W.O.W. lol
  • Jennifer
    I know right? Kristen Stewart was an angel compared to the things I've heard us called over the past few days bless her. LOL! I think it is nutz though, us fans know way more than the papparazzi so I believe it. It is sorta getting out of hand though now the fan are keeping secrects from other fan so they can have all the glory, I mean come on. I feel very sorry for these actors and all the crew ppl. I know everyone says don't feel sorry for them but dang they can even get from one location to the next hardly and its getting to where they can't even go out in public so that is a little sad.

    **but on a brighter note at least we have some new news, ever since Nikki left its been quite, hehehehehehehehehehe! Weird that its true though!!**
  • burningeternalember
    Think of how much sacrifice is actually involved in what they are creating, sleppless nights, endless days, poor rob getting beat up doing stunts, fans flippin out no matter where they eat,(I am not as crazy as some but If i could i would prepare a home cooked meal for Rob myself, stuck with room service all the time cause people wont give him a lil space) I bet you the cullens men and wolf pack will never go into a public bath room at a rest stop again for fear of being attacked mid-stream by a mob of infatuated teen age gurls! I think that its only fair that the crazies give the actors at the very least there person space. They are all being so gracious about all this, that I think they should think long about going to such extremes . Exspecially taking into account that Rob, Kristen, Taylor, Nikki, and all of the cast could be totally annoyed and with in reason too. Bless them, they are all almost to humble.Dont you think?
  • Well I feel that, no matter how shocking it would be to us good fans, they should tell the fans that they aren't filming for a month for the reason of too much interceding on sets if thats the right word. you know. the maybe they could film scenes at different locations each day to get rid of fans on their tail
  • twilover
    people its just a empty box! stop being so obsessive!

    Wow the house looks fantastic and so real! I wonder where they filming the scenes that are inside the house.....hmmmm back in LA maybe?
  • twilight_lover
    LOL IF I WAS THERE I WOULD BE ONE OF THE "crazies hiding in the trees"....LOL
  • Chrystina
    I use to go clubbing in Surrey! hahahaha I love that they are filming up there! It is bringing back so many memories of "legal drinking" in Canada when I was under age in Seattle, my home town!
  • i am soooo excited too see this scene in the movie :D
  • rpattzgirl
    I hate to think of anyone feeling like they can't work or go eat without being "stalked"-but I can't honestly say that if I had an opportunity to see HIM, in the flesh, that I wouldn't go crazy myself!
  • KINALuvzWolves
    Who's this "woman from Burnaby visiting the house?" She's one to be calling people crazies...
  • cutesweetiezzz
    LOL.
    She's doing the exact same thing as we are. She's probably just to embarrass to admit it.

    Why are they filming in Surrey?
    That's like an hour away from Vancouver.
    I feel like asking my mom to drive me there, so I can stalk the set again.
    I hope they actually film in Vancouver next time.
  • kat
    hi. could you tell me where "bella's house" is located in surrey? i wouldn't mind just driving by and getting a glimpse =). thank you!!!
  • Hey, please no discussion of precise set locations on here. thanks =)
  • StickingPlaster
    Well... I`m rather excited they`re filming in Surrey. Vancouver was an hour and a half bus ride from me.

    South Surrey is like a 15 minute bus ride. Right in my backyard. :)

    If I could figure out where they were filming, I would go (and quietly observe. not scream and make a fool of myself)
  • cutesweetiezzz
    I have no idea where they're filming, but I have a friend who lives in Surrey. But I don't think she'll know either. They're keeping the set location rather secretive and it's bugging me. It's not like we're going to scream when they're filming. We want the movie to be just as good as they want it to be.
  • StickingPlaster
    Well... from the looks of it (on youtube videos), it's rather remote. Honestly, South Surrey isn't very urban, so... I think the hopes of finding it without an address and using transit is very low. :(
  • cutesweetiezzz
    That's not very good news. It's sad when you know where they're filming at, but you have no EXACT location. It's like they're so close that you can almost touch them.
  • YAY I LOVE BEING A CRAZIE!!!!!!!!!
    PROUD OF IT!!!!!!!
    I SURE AM "CU CU CU CU CU CU CU CU CU CU CU"
    MUAAAAAAAHAHAAAAHAHA
  • I seriously have to give credit to Chris and the crew. They are paying SO much attention to detail. I am impressed, relieved, and excited to see this movie!

    However, these hypocritical folks calling fans "crazies", and then publishing the dates of filming should be wolf slapped. Did the woman from whatever forget to look in the mirror? She is at the film set. They may not be filming but she did take the time to check it out. Exactly in the same manor as the "crazies" she refers to.
  • Destined
    Ha! I agree TeamWolfpack! These people are so hypocritical.
  • 30yearoldtwifan "Team Slade"
    Ok who wants to bet tonight there will be a crowd hiding in the trees if there filming? lol I bet we will see a few Utubes tommorow!
  • LoLo
    Does anybody know where this set is? I'm not gonna stalk anybody, haha I would just like to watch from a distance or something along those lines. I'm not a "Crazy" by the way!
  • Hiding in trees?!?!
    LOL!!
  • TheLionFellIn<3W/Ceci-ROBECI
    I'm w/ them on not allowing fans near the set b/c they're trying to protect their work guys... I would LOVE to get this firsthand but I don't wanna be a reason of something bad happening ya know? But I DO love seeing pictures and videos ;)
  • Jakeward
    OHH LA LAAAA THIS IS EXCITING!!!
  • MV
    I live in Surrey, holy moly.
  • ok that was rude the "crazies" we all know that twilight and all the movies are going to be a hit and people want to seee and they are covering the set with black stuff and they think were crazy!!!! lol
  • Cullengirl
    It's Raining Crazies amen, It's raining crazies, sorry got that from reading the comment about dropping crazies and paps from the trees.
  • Yally
    Do you know if they will be shooting in South Surrey this weekend or are they gunna move . cause i Reallly want to go see them shoot even if i dont get to see THEM. please i need info thanks i love new moon and the whole saga its truely the best !!!! all i want to know is if there going to be in surrey this weekend??????? :)
  • HP
    I don't know exactly when, but they are there. Probably when it is raining or cloudy..which it hasn't been for the past few days!
  • Jacob Black is so freakin hawt
    wow. im amazed that there are ppl so desperate to see the twilight cast that they would hide behind trees and in bushes to just get a glimpse of them.
    Now that is just sad.
  • lol I love your name right to the point!
  • RobRocks
    Look, alot of stupid people have been saying stupid things today, dont be one of em. your post on the other page about rob being shirtless...Well I do think jake is hawt but please keep your mouth shut when it comes to rob. how would you feel if i had said jake was as ugly as a pile of dog crap? wouldnt like that very much would you? this is your warning...please dont go there again...
