Breaking Dawn ReShoots Wrap in Vancouver

Short and Sweet.

Luckily the local photogs got shots for us fans of the couple arriving and now leaving Vancouver. What I don't understand is why they returned to Vancouver for re-shoots if they only used studio. They used Louisiana studios for original filming and Vancouver was mostly exteriors in Squamish and Coquitlam. So... why return here for just studios when they have plenty in L.A.

I don't know what was shot, or where they shot (besides studio) but given the short time frame, I don't think they would have stayed at a Vancouver hotel and trekked out to Squamish each day.... and I didn't see anything unusual on Coquitlam.... hmmmm....

Anyways, here are various shots of Rob and Kristen leaving YVR/Vancouver. *sigh* it is REALLY over....

You sunk my Battleship...

I saw Battleship preparation when I was in NOLA last October. In my agenda book, I saw it was supposed to come out soon, but apparently I missed the memo with the new release date of May 2012.

Longer wait for Alexander Skarsgård *le sigh*

That boy is all kinds of sexy! At least I get my weekly fix on True Blood, and lately, he has been especially yummy, all nice and naked as Eric with Sookie... RAWR!

But I digress... I wanted to share the trailer for Battleship as well as some photos from set in NOLA last October....

There are more on my facebook: Mandy S Mind.

Also in pre-production at the time was Breaking Dawn.... so I posed out side the studio after chatting with the security at length.

NEW PHOTOS - Bella's House decorated for Christmas

Today my twi-twit-buddy @depechemama popped by Bella's house and got some fantastic shots of the Christmas decor at Bella's House... how exciting!

At first I thought maybe they were using the house for another production (as they did after New Moon) but then I remembered that Bill Condon sent us that wonderful interior set photo of Christmas from Breaking Dawn and now I am fairly sure it is for Breaking Dawn.

With Baton Rouge filming wrapping recently and Bella's house completely up and decorated, it seems certain the cast and crew will arrive as planned in upcoming days.

This is exciting for local fans.

I won't be able to go to sets as often as I did during New Moon, but like Eclipse I will go out when I can and when I can't I will have friends pop by and share photos and stories of what is going on.

Breaking Dawn Filming Update

This is not the first time Breaking Dawn has filmed in Arsenal Park but it seems they are back at the location to film a big scene.

TwiFans posted:

New set pics, along with news of what cast has and has not arrived in Baton Rogue make it seem like Kristen and Rob are shooting their big wedding scene!
The massive outdoor set and green screen in Baton Rogue’s Arsenal Park seemed like a perfect fit for Breaking Dawn’s epic final fight, but it seems like it may in fact be for something entirely different — Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson’s wedding scene!

Seeing as Dakota Fanning and Michael Sheen were spotted in Baton Rogue all last month, it is safe to assume the final scene has finished filming. It would not take that long to film and as the scene takes place only in the Cullen’s yard there would be no need to use another location.

Sealing the deal however is the fact that actor Michael Welch (Bella’s friend Mike Newton) tweeted,”I’m off to Baton Rouge, Louisiana to work on a new film called Baking Nan.. wait, that’s not it- It’s called Raking Lawns.. No, hold on…”

As fans know Mike is present in only one Breaking Dawn scene — Edward and Bella’s wedding. It COULD be a different set than Arsenal Park — some have suggested they could just be doing promotional shots — but that seems ideal for Edward and Bella’s nuptials!

THOUGHTS?

Furthermore - tweets like these lead to "wedding" idea as well...

Back to Work on Breaking Dawn

According to cast tweets there were some "big" scenes that involved fake snow... thoughts?

Some believe the battle/encounter while others are saying flashbacks and flash forwards (predictions etc) The easiest way to "test" this of course is to consider which cast is in town, what they tweet and then compare to scenes from the books.

I know they only have a few more weeks in Baton Rouge so I wonder which scenes they have lined up? More importantly which scenes will be filmed here in Vancouver?

Very exciting!

After a break for the holidays the cast headed back to Baton Rouge for filming. Many were photographed at airports heading back to work.

Kellan Lutz plays shy at the airport

During the break they were spotted all over by fans.

And now back in Louisiana, some fans have bumped into cast out and about:


I am excited that we will get two more movies out of these Saga, but the wait is killing me... at least New Moon and Eclipse was fairly quick, this two parter dragging on and on is making me impatient... just me?

Didn't think so!

Battleship wraps in Baton ROuge

Very Cool - Robert Pattinson at the same party as Alex Skarsgård - - mmm vamp dreams.... They were filming at the same studio and Rob is friends with director of Battleship, Peter Berg, so it isn't shocking he attended. I remember seeing the battleship being built when I was there in October. So CooL!

Zac Efron & Kellan Lutz with young fans.... there is a problem here

Why does Zefron's arm look biiger than Kellan's? and why does his head look so small compared to his body?

These are the big issues people?

Breaking Dawn Cast Dinner in Baton Rouge

E Online:

The Breaking Dawn cast got some much deserved free time out in Baton Rouge, La., recently, hitting up Fleming's Prime Steakhouse and Wine Bar.


"It was a lot of the cast and crew," a source who was also at the restaurant confirms to E!. "They were in the private back room and seemed in great spirits. Everyone had a really great time."


This obviously included Robert and Kristen, who make no effort to hide their relaysh these days.

Here's the PDA scoop!




"They were sitting down and talking together most of the dinner," dishes our insider who snooped at what was taking place in the private digs. "Wherever Kristen was, he was, and visa-versa."


"[Rob and Kristen] were holding hands at some point, and when they got up to mingle with everyone for a bit he kept his hand on her back," adds the source. "They were really cute. And no one in attendance seemed surprised at their affection."


Jeez, maybe that's because Robsten was so on the moment they first met while making on out Catherine Hardwicke's bed!

With each movie the couple has become increasingly more public with their romance, aside from blabbing about it in the media of course.

And since we have been lucky enough to witness such cuddlefests before, we're sure this dinner was no different.

Love it, or love it?

Update on Breaking Dawn Filming

Puzzle pieces come together through all the technology and communication. Twitter is especially telling... yay for the internet.

I am grateful also to the people who send me updates since I can not be in Louisiana myself.

This week had some filming in Baton Rouge after some weekend shots in New Orleans.

My friend went to Arsenal Park in Baton Rouge the other day to see filming (non-Edward/Bella shots) and I am awaiting some photos of that.

Additionally I am told Kristen & Rob had a couple days off this week (maybe since she shot over the weekend? also scheduled scenes without them as we know there were volturi in town)

Seems yesterday they did some shots with Kristen being ill....

Also this week there were some shots of the Happy family; Renesme, Edward and Bella together sharing family moments...

This is all so exciting...

I hope to have photos for you next week from Louisiana as well as some local stuff if I have time over the weekend

More Breaking Dawn Updates

Today and possibly tomorrow, they are filming without "Bella" and "Edward" in Baton Rouge.

I have a friend going by the set to take photos, which I will share with you here once I get them in my inbox.

I did post earlier that they filmed this weekend. The scenes involved J. Jenks & Bella Cullen meeting to get documents in order.

I also got some awesome local Breaking Dawn news that I am going to follow up on. I hope to bring you some updates (and photos) on that soon.

I am getting really excited again... I love hearing about filming, even though it is not in Vancouver as much as before, it is still awesome to hear (and see) what is going on with filming in Louisiana.

Stay Tuned in upcoming weeks for more updates. I will post them as I get them.

Cheers,
Mandy

Breaking Dawn Scene filmed over the weekend

I think the Jenks character is unneccessary in Breaking Dawn.... and I kind of hoped they'd take it out of movie completely- - just me?

My one issue with BD was always that they build up this whole fight, potential loss of lives, etc. then.... "oh, there are other half vampires, oh, ok"

Anyways, there are reports that the scene where Bella gets I.D and documents from Jenks was filmed over the weekend at a NOLA Resturant.

This is in fact true...

but there are some things that should be clarified...


TwiFans posts:

A fan posted on facebook that Kristen Stewart (Bella) was seen filming in a restaurant in New Orleans for a Breaking Dawn scene between Bella & J. Jenks. Remember this is NOT confirmed. Take it with a gran of salt.

I did confirm from reliable sources that this scene was filmed, however, I am told the resturant used was in fact Domenica and not other popular New Orleans Resturants previously speculated.

Here are photos from Domenica:

Mandy's Mind - I still don't think this subplot is neccessary to the movie, but it was in the book so here you go - - - filmed for the movie over the weekend in New Orleans... exciting non?

We still do not know who was cast as J. Jenks.

Twilight Lexicon narrowed it down to one of these two guys:

-Ty Olsson
-Wendell Pierce

Both look like they could do the part. Ty has that suspicious look, while Wendell has more of that paper-pusher look. In my opinion either would be pretty good thoughts?
