Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart Vancouver Twilight shoot revealed


VANCOUVER -- Those super-snoops at esteemed online journal Hollywood Life have let the vampire out of the coffin.

The Twilight stars — Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Kellan Lutz, Taylor Lautner and the gang — are headed to Vancouver next month and the mag says it even knows where they're going to be.

Here's the scoop (and I know where I'm NOT going to be; can you say mob scene?): The purported shoot will take place March 14 on Beatty Street.

Can we trust the leak? Why not? Hollywood Life even attributes the news to none other than "our source." And when did that paragon of verity ever get it wrong?

Our source continues: “They are wrapping things up in Baton Rouge but are heading up to Canada over the next week and will be filming in many districts. But they will only be shooting in the city of Vancouver on one day … March 14, they’ll be at a theatre for part of the day and then they’ll be filming on Beatty Street.”

The journal credits the Directors Guild of Canada for telling an anxious world that Breaking Dawn will shoot from Feb. 21 to April 13 in Vancouver and environs. Says Hollywood Life: "We are so excited for more Breaking Dawn sightings — we don’t want it to end!"

Breaking Dawn Part 1 Footage To Be Presented By Summit At Comic Con ?

So says The HD Room

Passes for the annual gathering of film, comic book, toy and gaming enthusiasts went on sale earlier today and was met by a stampede of buyers with credit cards in-hand. The ticketing vendor for the process, Ticketleap.com, buckled multiple times under the strain of fulfilling requests.

Interest in the four-day passes was so intense that even with the outages all were sold through in roughly two-and-a-half hours. Many people who were hoping to make the trek to San Diego and hit up the convention center for Thursday through Sunday had to walk away empty-handed.

Many of Comic-Cons must-see panels and unveiling of new footage are spread across multiple days. It wouldn’t make much sense to spend the travel and accommodations money and only get to see a sampling of what the show has to offer.

This year’s Comic-Con in particular is poised to be perhaps the biggest yet. In a battle of screaming female tweens versus comic book faithful, Summit Entertainment will present new footage and the stars of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 while Marvel and Paramount will counter with likely the first public footage from The Avengers.

Confirmed: Rob Back Playing The Piano On 'Breaking Dawn' Part 2


Composer Carter Burwell today delivered the exciting news many of you had been waiting to hear. Rob will be back playing the piano as Edward in Breaking Dawn Part 2:
Just wrote "Renesmee's Lullaby" for Twilight Breaking Dawn. Rob Pattinson will play it on camera this week.

Burwell tweeted that update, and then confirmed the news on a post on his official site:


And he just wrote "Renesmee's Lullaby" for Twilight Breaking Dawn 2, which Rob Pattinson will play on camera. The film will be released in November 2012.



So not only will Rob play a (sure to melt-your-hearts) dad as Edward, but we also get to watch him play for little Renesmee

Jennie Garth looks forward to Peter Facinelli being done with 'Twilight' films


Most of the Twilight castmembers who've been busy with it since film one are young and unmarried - so the whirlwind of Twilight touring, promotions, and filming tend to be a bit less impactful on themselves and their loved ones.

In Peter Facinelli ("Carlisle Cullen")'s case, though, he has a wife (Jennie Garth, who is also an actress) and three daughters, so his back-and-forths across the continent for Alex's Lemonade signings and dual filming between Breaking Dawn and Nurse Jackie certainly takes a toll on his family.



According to Popeater's latest interview with Garth, she quite looks forward to a time when Facinelli is finished with his Twilight time obligations.

“I can't even remember what life is like with a husband . . . I will be very happy. It gets harder the more time he's gone. It's more of a challenge to keep everybody connected, and for the girls, they miss him so much, so it's kind of heart-wrenching to see him come and go. But there's no other way to keep him doing what he does and keep their lives normal.”

It's been about three years since the first Twilight film was under production. Can't blame her much for wanting things back to normal, right? There was a point last year when Facinelli was bouncing back and forth from New York (for Nurse Jackie) to Vancouver (for The Twilight Saga: Eclipse) and then on the weekends to various locations for benefit signings . . . but he would hop on a flight to L.A. just for dinner if he had the time. According to Garth's interview, he "tries to go no more than two weeks at a time" away from her and the kids. On the home stretch, Jennie!

‘The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’ bringing in millions to Baton Rouge economy

Ever since the announcement that part of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Parts 1 & 2 would be filmed in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, there has been a general expectation that the area would see a financial upswing from production.

For instance, in August 2010 (note that the locations were confirmed in July) a local news station, WBRZ, heralded: “An economic boom is on the way to Baton Rouge because of the fascination with ‘Twilight.’”


How right they were . . . probably to the point of surpassing most peoples’ wildest expectations.

It’s hard to tell, though, since most anticipations surrounding Breaking Dawn’s production in Baton Rouge didn’t come in the form of an exact figure. This is about as specific as it got (from the LSU Reveille):

“The production's prolonged presence in Baton Rouge will be advantageous for local crew members who will have work for as long as the project is in the city . . . ‘Breaking Dawn’ will be an ‘enormous boost’ to Baton Rouge's economy through set building and production work, as well as the stimulus of cast and crew who stay in hotels and eat in local restaurants. ‘There is a constant multiplication on the dollars the production is spending in our community," she said. As the ‘Breaking Dawn’ production swoops into Baton Rouge, the city also has a chance to promote itself by offering local haunts for members of the production to sink their teeth into.”

Well, a local Louisiana news channel, WAFB, has released some numbers, and it seems that in 2010 alone, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn’s production brought in around $65.5 million dollars to the city. It is expected that as production comes to a close this year, Breaking Dawn will have brought in another $33 million to Baton Rouge.

So that’d, in total, be about $100 million that the city and its businesses and workers earned from housing production on these two films for the span of a few months. If an “economic boom” is what Baton Rouge hoped for, wish granted.

Robert Pattinson's "Water For Elephants" & "Breaking Dawn" Named On Box Office Mojo's 2011 Preview Box Office Mojo lists "Water for Elephants" on their 2011 Preview

While sequels, remakes, comic book adaptations and animated movies will inevitably dominate 2011's box office, there will still be a few hits that don't fall in to any of these categories. In 2009, there was Avatar, The Hangover and The Blind Side, and in 2010 there was Inception. Here's a look at ten of the contenders, including three high-profile book adaptations, a few alien invasion movies, a potential Twilight successor or two and some wholly original wild cards.

Water for Elephants (April 22): It's easy to dismiss Robert Pattinson as just part of the Twilight craze thanks to the poor box office performance of Remember Me last March. However, his next movie Water for Elephants is poised to be much more successful: it's helmed by blockbuster director Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend), has interesting co-stars Reese Witherspoon and Christoph Waltz and is based on a reportedly popular book.

Breaking Dawn (Part One) (Nov. 18) follows a trilogy, but one that ended on a high note: with $300.5 million, third entry Eclipse pulled off the rare feat of out-grossing the second entry New Moon. Breaking Dawn returns to the pre-Thanksgiving slot of the first Twilight and New Moon (and formerly Harry Potter), but will have the longest wait yet (17 months). Add in a reportedly mixed fan reaction to the novel and how being broken in two didn't help Deathly Hallows Part 1, and it wouldn't be surprising if interest ebbs for Breaking Dawn

The two have been spotted riding their bikes together around Louisiana when not filming their scenes. An Examiner source said, “I see Rob and Kristen riding around the parking lot almost daily.

EW.com: 15 Hot Movies of 2011

EW.com has listed “15 Hot Movies of 2011″ and the list includes Breaking Dawn, of course, but also some other ventures from our Twilight gang!

RED RIDING HOOD (March 11) [Catherine Hardwicke]

This is not the fairy tale you remember. In this telling, Amanda Seyfried is the heroine Valerie, whose village is being terrorized by a werewolf that goes on to kill someone close to her. A hunter (Gary Oldman) stokes the villagers’ paranoia, while Valerie is in a love triangle with the man her parents want her to marry (Max Irons) and the one she really loves (Shiloh Fernandez).

WATER FOR ELEPHANTS (April 22) [Robert Pattinson]

”To have a costar who is this reliable, this sensitive and circumspect and intelligent — it’s just fabulous,” says Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds). He’s not talking about Reese Witherspoon and Robert Pattinson, who play the star performer and veterinary student in an adaptation of Sara Gruen’s best-seller about a traveling circus in the 1930s. He’s talking about Tai, a 9,000-pound Asian elephant.

HARRY POTTER AND THE DEATHLY HALLOWS: PART 2 (July 15) [Jamie Campbell Bower]

The final Harry Potter film brings Daniel Radcliffe’s titular boy wizard nose-to-snake-snout with Ralph Fiennes’ villainous Voldemort in a wand duel to the death. ”It’s very much an action film,” says producer David Heyman. ”Part 1 was more akin to a road film. Part 2 is all about the destination.”

THE HELP (August 12) [Bryce Dallas Howard]

Emma Stone, Viola Davis, Sissy Spacek, and Octavia Spencer (former roommate of the director, Tate Taylor) all star in this adaptation of Kathryn Stockett’s hit 2009 novel about the enmeshed worlds of African-American maids.

BREAKING DAWN: PART 1 (Nov. 18)

Even if you don’t know each plot twist and turn from the final book in Stephenie Meyer’s best-selling series, every self-respecting Twihard is aware that Breaking Dawn features Bella (Kristen Stewart) and Edward (Robert Pattinson) becoming vampire man and wife and sharing a marital bed for the first time. ”Finally!” laughs director Bill Condon. ”It is one of the most anticipated scenes, and I spent a tremendous amount of time thinking about it. You want to play with what people expect and maybe subvert it a little and surprise them.”

'Breaking Dawn' Star Angela Sarafyan Gushes Over Castmates, Director

Actress, who plays Tia, gives MTV News a 'Breaking Dawn' update straight from the set.


Angela Sarafyan came onto the "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" set last November and was warmly welcomed by the director as well as her castmates. When MTV News recently spoke to Sarafyan, who plays vampire Tia of the Egyptian coven, she gushed about her experience on the movie set.

"I went on-set and met Bill Condon and he is truly such a great, great person," she said. "I'm honestly humbled by the fact that he is kind and generous and, with the enormity of this film, has been so graceful about giving every actor their time. He immediately put me on a great starting point. We were all in this incredible Egyptian casbah in Baton Rouge [back in November] and it was quite magnificent. It was quite easy. It's not as pressure-filled as you'd think. It felt like an independent project where everyone's having a nice time, no one's pressured. It's been that way almost every day that we've worked on this."

Three movies into the franchise already, the crew is currently in the midst of filming the final two films, "Breaking Dawn" parts one and two, and the "Twilight" newbie says that things are so relaxed on the set that she doesn't feel like a rookie castmate.

"I was telling my mom, and I say these kids, they're [probably] people who are not very nice and they're stuck up ... and they're the complete opposite. They're very kind and sweet and normal and awesome," she explained. "I don't think I could find anything bad to say about a single person on the set. They're quite humble and normal people. It was a delight to come into that.

"About being the new kid on the set, there's so many of us, we've all become a family ultimately," she added. "It's been quite easy."

Sarafyan even got to help create a bit of backstory in order to play Tia. "I always envisioned Tia like Cleopatra and Benjamin like Marc Anthony, so even though they're the younger vampires, they're very strong-willed and rebels. We have this entire history of how they were 4 and they met and they fell in love and at 16 they turned into vampires," she explained. "It's something along those lines. And it's funny, I spoke to Stephenie Meyer and she has a similar idea of what we created."

Now Sarafyan and the rest of the cast are "actually in the middle of it all. We're midway through and we're not necessarily shooting as the script goes." And as Robert Pattinson recently revealed, the big fight scene is currently being shot.

"We're shooting it on green screen, so it's really quite unpredictable because we don't know what we're going to be doing day to day. Every character is pretty much in it except Ashley Greene's character and Jackson [Rathbone's] character. Were spending 14 hours a day hanging out with each other and it's been really exciting because at the end of the day, we don't know what it's going to look like," Sarafyan said. "It's almost half the script, so it's taking a while to shoot it."

Sarafyan's next film is "A Good Old-Fashioned Orgy," in which she co-stars with "Saturday Night Live" players Will Forte and Jason Sudeikis.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 Title Card

Twilight Breaking Dawn & Twilight Breaking Dawn: Part 2 stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, Jackson Rathbone, Ashley Greene


In the spirit of the old adage, "When it rains, it pours," a flurry of "Twilight" news and imagery has hit the Internet over the past two weeks. Things kicked off last week with the release of the first photo from "Breaking Dawn - Part 1," which showed the film's paramours, Robert Pattinson's Edward and Kristen Stewart's Bella, in a very romantic moment on the night after their wedding. Shortly after that photo set "Twilight" fan eyes popping and hearts racing, MTV News was lucky enough to catch up with Pattinson himself at the Golden Globe Awards to get his thoughts on the steamy-looking photo.

On Friday (January 21), Summit Entertainment released yet another early gift for the millions of "Twilight" fans, the official title card for the first part of "Breaking Dawn."

Keeping with the tradition and look of the first three films, "Twilight," "New Moon" and "Eclipse," this "Dawn" title card has the same font (its official name is Zephyr) that fans have come to know and love. And while the card for "Twilight" was red, "New Moon" was gold and "Eclipse" was shiny silver, this card for Part 1 of "Dawn" is a reddish orange — the color of, well, the sky as dawn breaks. According to Summit, each card has a unique color to reflect the tone of the story.

So judging from this intense color, what might we expect from the film that we don't already know about? Those who've read and obsessed over Stephenie Meyer's novels know that the conclusion to the "Twilight Saga" packed a punch, complete with a vampire transformation, a marriage, a baby and a battle.
