Tsunami Warnings Delay Breaking Dawn Filming

Twilight fans are very concerned for their favourite actors.

This posts purpose is to
  1. Reassure fans that everyone is safe, but filming has been delayed and
  2. Focus our thoughts and prayers on those suffering by this devestation.




They have been in Tofino the past few days to do some filming at a local First Nations Reserve. Due to the earthquake in Japan and subsequent tsunami threats along the Pacific West Coast, there was a delay in filming in order to evacuate to safety. My aunt has a beachfront house in Tofino but is in Vancouver right now, thankfully.

This will delay filming the wolfpack's final scene for the Twilight Saga - For now!

People Magazine writes:
With Hawaii and the North American West Coast placed on tsunami advisories early Friday after an 8.9-magnitude earthquake struck in Japan, the Vancouver Island beach area in British Columbia where Taylor Lautner and Kristen Stewart and the rest of the Wolf Pack are filming the Twilight series' Breaking Dawn has been evacuated.

The actors are not believed to be in any danger, but for safety measures they apparently have been moved out of the region.

The town where production is taking place, Tofino, contains a long stretch of open coast on the furthest westerly point of the island and was seen in the earlier The Twilight Saga: New Moon.

Tinsel Korey, 30, who plays Makah Emily Young in the movies, rather dramatically Tweeted Friday: "They're evacuating us 4 a tsumnani [sic] warning. If this … is my last my tweet. I love you. The end. Hugz."

She later added, "If this is the moment. Then I've lived a good life. And I'm thankful 4 everything I've been given."

I'm not sure if Kristen was really on the set, but I heard that they really did evacuate the Tofino location shoot.

Also - - - Since some reports often get things twisted, here is another piece of information.

Vancouver Island has been put on tsunami warning. Twilight production was in Tofino – cast and crew were reportedly moved. People.com mentioned that Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner were among them. Just some clarification on this since you Twi-Hards seem to be panicking about Juliet being without her Romeo Rob in this time of crisis.

The wolves were there, yes. But contrary to the story in People, I have heard from two locktight slamdunk infallible witnesses who SAW Kristen Stewart last night at the Sheraton Wall Centre. It was late. Well past the time that any travel to Vancouver Island would have been possible. She was with her bodyguard/manager/best friend/whatever John. John stepped out of the hotel shortly after to run some errands.

In other words, Thursday night, she was tucked into bed safe with her boyfriend.


Mandy's Mind - I heard that Kristen was unlikely to be going over to film so it seems that indeed she was not there and is safe and sound, along with all the Twilight Cast. A delay in filming is no big deal compared to the devestation and destruction some are facing currently.

I think our thoughts and prayers should be directed at the thousands of people without homes, food, transportation or communication due to this catastrophe. We are Twilight Fans, yes, but there are thousands of non-Twilight Cast, whose lives are of equal value that have died or are suffering. Fans have huge hearts and I hope we open them in this time of need.

Devestating Photos from Japan

The earthquake in Japan has been devestating. After last year in Haiti, then more recent earthquakes around the world, this one in Japan seems to say that mother nature is not happy...

My boss sent me this link today and it was enough to make me text my husband from work to review our emergency preparedness plan.

Please ensure you do the same - if something like this ever happened to you, have a plan to be safe and let others know you are safe.

Tsunami Updates.

Please Be Safe! Thoughts and Prayers to those in areas affected by this!

Rob and Chris in Japan - Lucky Winner

Seiko sent her photos and story into Robsessed.

We were in the first and the second row in the middle. We were actually sitting right in front of Rob and Chris. Less than a couple of meters away from where they stood. It was so great.

We had a short Q&A session with Chris and Rob. I was too dazzled and I don't remember what Rob spoke. I can't believe I don't remember it.
Chris was so funny! He was making fun of Rob and his fans. He was so humble and really funny.

And, we saw a couple of scenes from New Moon. Nothing new, but in the wide screen. It was amazing.
Alice driving the porche, Bella running to save Edward, and that awesome fight-scene with Felix.

And of course, the main event of the fan meeting was to choose the luckiest person who was to be invited to LA Premiere.
Chris and Rob pulled the paper out of the box to select the 5 seat numbers.
So, the lucky 5 ladies went up to the stage.

Rob and Chris had to climb up to a small balcony. And, each girl had to make confession to Rob and Chris how she loved Twilight and New Moon.
It was like Juliet telling Romeo how she loved him. Rob was so CUTE.
Rob and Chris was supposed to choose the best among them, but... of course they couldn't decide.

Then, a box with red ropes was carried to the center of the stage.
Rob and Chris took the ends of the red rope. Ropes are tangled inside, so you never know which end is connected to Rob or Chris.
All people held the end of the red rope and they pulled.
The girl holding the other side of Rob's rope won the invitation to LA Premiere.

The other girl holding the other side of Chris's rope won "Barbie doll Edward" fully signed by Chris and Rob.
(I saw the doll. It was so funny. It was Edward doll in Twilight grey peacoat costume, so Chris wrote "did not direct" right under his name.)

There was a special present to every one of those girls.
The screen used red robes from Volterra!! I really wanted to have one!!! They were so cool.
Everybody got that red robe from Rob with his HUG and SMILE. Oh, I wish I were on the stage.
Rob was smiling all the time (except for the time listening to the translator). Chris and Rob were both very relaxed and looked happy.


We were so lucky to be able to sit right in front of the stage. (We spent a night outside the building in chilly rain for this fan meeting.)
So, we were exhausted, but very happy at the same time. We were so close to Rob. Rob could hear us.
When he was pulling the paper with seat number from the box, I told him "Rob! Please pull my number out! it's A1-16!" and he really smiled at me.
And when he was finally leaving, I told him (almost yelled) "You gotta come back again next time!" and he told us he will.

I can't remember the details.
I was so happy to be very close to Rob and I was happily dazzled. We really had a great time.

After we thought they really left and the meeting was finished, Rob and Chris suddenly came back in the 2nd story balcony to say good-bye to us again! And they waved at us and it was sooooo nice.
