Jackson Rathbone filmed Breaking Dawn Stunts with Cracked Rib

Brazil Body Doubles

I am happy to see the wrist cuff on Edward ;)

Notice how sunburnt the doubles are after a day of waterfall jumping in the sun. Also notice Edward's double with the 2 wrist cuffs. I wonder if the cuff we were missing in Lapa, makes a return once Eddie gets to Isle Esme!?

Capricho met up with Edward & Bella's doubles and they had this to say:
Paraty is super small city, you know, right? Just now, we went out to dinner and met so coincidentally, the Rafael and Robert, Robert and
Kristen's stunts!

They are super cute and nice! They talked with, took pictures with fans
and impressed the people who were passing by on the street.

Raphael and Roberta woke up at 5 am today to shoot the scenes at the waterfall and were looking for a place to eat.

They told that the Breaking dawn actors are super friendly, polite and
they thought they looked alike.. "I thought Kristen very nice person,"
said Roberta.

Robert Pattinson runs like a superstar

Robert Pattinson has revealed he had to train to run like a true action hero for new Twilight movie Eclipse.


The 24-year-old Hollywood heartthrob confessed to Reveal magazine his run in the first two Twilight films as brooding vampire Edward Cullen had been a bit weak, so he hit the treadmill.


Robert laughed: "I had to learn how to run properly. In the last two films, I ran in a limp/skip. I had to run more solidly this time so I spent a lot of time on a giant treadmill. It was like one of those things that mice run around in."


Robert also had to brush up on his fighting skills for a scene with new co-star Bryce Dallas Howard, who plays villain Victoria.


The actor admits he used a body double for the most dramatic parts, but movie bosses were still impressed with his action moves.


Robert revealed: "Weirdly, one of the producers told me: 'Wow, you look so enthusiastic in that fight scene. Much more than in any other one in the series'. It's always hard to do stuff with Bryce because she's the gentlest person and is always laughing. And she's afraid of hurting me!"

Nikki Reed says Eclipse stunts were tough

Nikki Reed (Rosalie) has said that the Eclipse stunts became "so emotionally and physically draining" that she wanted to "die" while shooting them.

We're always standing out in like 30-degree weather, with pouring rain, trying to keep our vampire makeup intact. It's hectic, it's crazy, it's very jam-packed full of emotion."

"We were doing a lot of stunts, too much in too little time," Reed, 21, said, calling life on set "tough." "The hardest part is trying to fly around on cables in the woods at 6 o'clock, fighting the sunset and stuff. And looking like we're not cold and super powerful, when we just want to die."

But filming with her "lovely" pal Kristen Stewart made those hard times bearable. "She's my buddy," Reed said. "We love each other. We had fun shooting together."

Behind The Scenes - New Moon Cliff Jumping

This video is super cool - It looks at the swimming pool where part of Bella's Cliff jump was filmed.




Here is my blog from my first encounter at the pool set

Remember the set?

Alleged Behind the Scenes Eclipse Video

I can say that this looks similar to the forest they were doing 2nd unit stunts and where they filmed for both New Moon and Eclipse though the rocky incline less so.

But they did have ropes and pulley's set up similarily (though most movies would I assume?)

Either way if this is NOT Eclipse film preparation, it is very similar to what would have been done....

Bella's Stunt Woman Crystal Dalman

Canadian stunt woman Crystal Dalman landed an awesome role as Bella's stunt double for Twilight Saga New Moon which filmed in Vancouver last Spring.

High School student Rheanna Toy met with Dalman at a Calgary coffee shop to interview her an article which was published in You Think November 2009 Edition. The discussed what it is like being a stunt woman and how it was filming Bella's imfamous motorcycle fall.

Dalman spent days rehersing to prepare for the stunt and started with cardboard boxes to land in. The day of, however, there were no cardboard boxes. Dalman told Toy "I was scared. I was very nervous. There's a sense of adrenaline in your body. And sometimes you're even like, 'Why am I doing this?' You know it's gonna hurt, but I guess that's the difference between stunt people - we're a different breed of people. We crave the adrenaline."

She has a petite frame, similar to Kristen Stewarts and for such a small package she sure packs a big punch.

Dalman's IMDB boasts a number of shows and movies she has provided stunt work for including, I, Robot, X-Men, The Watchmen and 2012.

The motorcycle scene in New Moon is one of my personal favourites, mainly because of that awesome shirtless scene with Taylor lautner as Jacob Black, but what does Dalman say about the motorcycle scene in which she rode and fell off the bike as Bella's stunt woman?

"I've always loved riding motorcycles and doing motorcycle stuff, but the sequence with Bella pushed me to a certain limit that I don't get to get pushed to a lot of times."

I am always interested in this behind the scenes information. After watching New Moon film locally, I have begun to pay more attention to these things and realize how intricate and complicated making a movie truly is.

[You Think]

Ashley Greene's New Moon stunt double was a man.

Ashley Greene has revealed that her stunt double in Twilight Saga: New Moon is a man in a wig!

The actress, 22, says producers were forced to hire a male stunt double for the scene where Green’s character Alice Cullen races around Italy in a Porsche because they were unable to find a female daredevil to take her place.

“It was a man!” Greene said. “I’m not kidding! I guess there’s not really stuntwomen in this part of Italy.

“They taught me how to drive the Porsche… but they would not tell me if they were gonna let me drive the car right until the last minute.

“I don’t even know if they used my stunt double, but and they actually told me I drove faster than a stuntman. And I didn’t break anything!”

A-Team Filming in Vancouver

A-team is filming in Vancouver.

They are preparing to film people going up or down the side of a tall building and in preparation for that were hooking up pulley's and testing them with sand bags outside my friends office windows.

We all agree seeing Bradley Cooper whiz down a wire outside your office window would be rad.... sadly, stunt men, not Bradley Cooper or main cast, will be the ones gliding several stories up and down the sky scrapers.

It's so cool to have A-Team filming here. I loved A-Team as a kid.

Last month I saw them filming at what seems to be an "army base" though I obviously can't be certain. It was awesome to see the tanks and tents and equipment. Apparently a lot of pyro was planned at this site.

Awesome huh?

Also a couple weekends ago they were down town filming. I was lucky enough to be stuck in traffic but as I approached could see the blue flashing lights of "cop cars" and people running as a "machine gun" shot off (we could hear the sounds)

A friend who was closer actually got video of it all - I will ask her to email it for me to post if you are interested?

The new version of A-Team Stars:

Bradley Cooper as Lt. Templeton 'Faceman' Peck

Liam Neeson as Col. John 'Hannibal' Smith

Jessica Biel as Amy Allen

Sharlto Copley as Capt. 'Howling Mad' Murdock

Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson as Sgt. Bosco 'B.A.' Baracus

My husband would LOVE to meet Rampage Jackson as he's a massive UFC fan... myself, strictly interested in Bradley Cooper... though Jessica Biel would be fun and Liam Neeson... well - - obviously a welcomed sighting ;)

They are scheduled to be here til mid-December filming.
