Check out this amazing account from an extra on the set of New Moon on their experience so far on the set–

The crew was very quick and organized, and divided all the extras into groups: “the drivers”, “the reds”, and “the blacks”. We felt like the prey of the production company. They then offered us breakfast, which I was grateful for since my stomach was complaining more than Rosalie. Me and all the other drivers (there were about a hundred of us), were then told to park in the front of the main entrance of the town, where a yellow Porsche was also parked! My God, what a beautiful car! The rest of the extras were taken inside the city wall, where they would be shooting the reunion between Edward and Bella later in the week.

The wait was unnerving. And extremely long. In the meantime, we learned the shooting schedule: Monday is rehearsals, Tuesday inside the city again, Wednesday and Thursday in the city square (Where there is expected to be 1000 extras), and Friday was for any needed reshoots. While I was waiting, I saw a really pretty girl with brown hair in jeans and t-shirt. For a second I thought it was Kristen Stewart, but then I realized it was her stunt double. The similarities between the two was striking, especially from behind.

At around 10pm, it’s our turn. When arrived in front of the door, Chris Weitz’s assistant, Bill, arranged the order of all the cars. Every time he looked at me and my car, he smiled. They then began tests with the Porsche, with Bella’s and Alice’s stunt doubles. And here’s the funny part: Alice had a stunt MAN, instead of a woman. He was wearing a headscarf, sunglasses, a red leather glove and a long grey coat with big silver buttons. Bella’s stunt double, instead, was dressed very simply, wearing only a green sweater and jeans.

The tests of the Porsche were seemingly never-ending, they really wanted it to be perfect. They did not overlook even the smallest detail: everything -from the placement of the car to all the car sounds- had to be just right. They even were overly careful with all the red flags placed around Montepulciano. The crew was sweaty and shouting us to get in our places, to which we obliged. Bill (Weitz’s assistant) was always calm and smiling, every once in a while stopping to talk to us on set.

Rachelle LeFevre and her gorgeous rescue pup Honey are on the cover of Modern Dog magazine this month. It’s a great little interview, I liked this part–

MD: Well, when you’re filming in Vancouver, she’s mine.

RL: You’re the eighth person this week to offer! We’ve now met the whole neighbourhood. It took me over a year to meet the people who live next to us. Now, after four weeks, we know everybody. She has a boyfriend up the street, Mr. Pickles.

MD: Honey and Pickles? What are they, the pregnancy cravings couple?

[thanks, Steph!]

New Moon director Chris Weitz was spotted in Montepulciano, Italy planning out how to shoot some scenes with production crews. Check out the pic and video from Yunfa. She says–

The director of New Moon, Chris Weitz in the little Montepulciano, having a pre-production meeting with the crew. They were discussing about shots and frames, where to film and how to do it.
When he got out of the car I said “Hi Chris”, he answered and to my “It’s pretty hot in here, huh?!” added a “Yes it is!”

[thanks, Monica!]
