Breaking Dawn Vancouver February 2011

Finally we have a confirmation of sorts on dates Breaking Dawn will film in Vancouver. While most predicted it would be after January 2011 this shows the guesses were true.

Stand up 2 Cancer has some interesting items up for auction including a visit to Breaking Dawn Set in Vancouver in February 2011:

Be a part of a one-of-a-kind, “never been done before” experience when you and a guest take part in a visit to the set The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn in Vancouver! Winner will receive two FIRST CLASS tickets from anywhere Virgin America flies plus VIP car service from Seattle to Vancouver. Experience first-hand the biggest pop culture phenomenon of the decade as you and a guest spend a day on the set. Breaking Dawn is the fourth installment in the Twilight Saga franchise, based on the popular, best-selling novels by Stephanie Meyer. Breaking Dawn is directed by Bill Condon and stars Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner, and Dakota Fanning.

Further details include:

The winning bidder and guest must sign a non-disclosure agreement and photos will be taken for you on site, but no cameras/camera phones will be allowed on the set. Auction is not open to members of the press. The experience will take place between February 1, 2011, and the end of March 2011, when the crew is filming on the Vancouver set. The specific date within this range will be determined based on the film’s production schedule and winning bidder’s availability. The winning bidder must be 18 or older, but there is no minimum age for the guest. Tickets must be used together in conjunction with this experience, and are good for one round-trip flight with first class seats for two people departing from any airport Virgin America flies (including international cities) and arriving at Seattle, Washington. Winner and guest must possess appropriate travel documents for travel to Seattle, WA and Vancouver, BC.

4 days left to bid and the price is up to $24k if I were them I would do the Top 3 winners (6 people) and triple their money for cancer charity!!!

I am just glad to learn when Breaking Dawn will be in town ;)

"I'm With Cancer" Cast Change

MTV reports:

Last August, James McAvoy signed on to star in the formerly titled "I'm With Cancer," a comedy co-starring Seth Rogen about a 25-year-old battling cancer. MTV News has exclusively learned that McAvoy has dropped out of the film after shooting began and that he has been replaced with Joseph Gordon-Levitt.

A source close to the production tells us that McAvoy dropped out this week for personal reasons and that producers have locked Gordon-Levitt to step into the role. Shooting on the film, which began last month in Vancouver, has temporarily ceased and will resume the week of March 8. MTV has reached out to Summit Entertainment, and they've now confirmed the casting move.

Rogen said in a statement: "It’s incredibly unfortunate that circumstances outside of everyone’s control have taken James away from the project, but, with James’s blessing, we were able to have Joseph step in to take on the [lead] role of Adam. We all look forward to working with James in the future."

McAvoy's role as the cancer-stricken twentysomething had been touted as the actor's first high-profile one following the success of 2008's "Wanted." The film is based on the true experiences of screenwriter Will Reiser, who successfully waged his own battle with cancer in his 20s. Rogen is producing with his writing partner Evan Goldberg. The movie co-stars Anna Kendrick and Bryce Dallas Howard.

"'I'm with Cancer' is a very personal story, about what happened to our friend for the most part," Rogen told MTV News last summer. "So we didn’t really need much added insight into that. I was there with [Reiser] as he experienced a lot of it."
