Crazies on Set - April 24, 2009

Original Post - April 24, 2009

And THIS is why I don't like to post address of sets to the public....

Bella's House Set



"Despite efforts by the film company to keep it all hush-hush, a small but steady stream of fans (known as "Twilight-ers" or "Twi-Hards") and curiosity seekers has caused a commotion in the rural setting in recent days. Barricades, sometimes staffed by police, have gone up and come down at two entry points on the otherwise quiet road, depending on the time of day and the level of on-set action.

To be sure, these are interesting times for the family that lives in the lone house across the street from all the hubbub."

"For security reasons, the Now has decided to not reveal the exact location of the film set. Even so, plugged-in fans will have little trouble finding the site through postings on Twitter and other social-networking websites.

Kilpatrick said she's surprised that so many women - as opposed to teen girls - are following the 'New Moon' action from site to site. Many of them stay connected using Twitter names dedicated to actor Pattinson, the "vampire" guy.

"Some of them keep the information (of set locations) secret - not out of respect but because they don't want anyone else going there," Kilpatrick said."

"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."
