Breaking Dawn Part 2 Re-Shoots in Vancouver April 30 - May 2

So it seems the rumours are true, Breaking Dawn returns to Vancouver for reshoots.

Buzz started earlier this weekend on these reshoots and this morning tweets from local paparazzi made the buzz more of a solid rumour and probable fact.

Finally, Bill Condon confirmed on facebook that they would return to Vancouver for reshoots and that both Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart would be back.

Based on the majority of Breaking Dawn being filmed in Squamish and Studio I would assume that is where they return for the few days of reshoots, but I am not sure.

I never made it up to Squamish during Breaking Dawn filming, but I did go afterwards and feel quite familiar with the set locations, so depending on work I may pop by if I can and see what I can see. If I see anything I promise to share stories and photos with you as always :)

How exciting.. one last hurrah for Edward & Bella, in vampire form... squeeeee! Here is an excerpt from Bill's message on facebook:

A film is a lot like a puzzle, with each piece - each shot, no matter how brief - needing to fit exactly with the ones around it. Our Part Two puzzle is finally coming into full view, and in a few weeks we'll be heading back north to pick up some additional shots - the last tiny missing pieces. We're not shooting any new scenes or dialogue, just some technical work with some of our cast and stunt actors.

I am really looking forward to being back on set with some of the friends I've made on my Twilight journey, like the great Guillermo Navarro, our cinematographer, and his crew. And yes, Rob and Kristen will be there too, to pop in those gold contacts one last time...

I can't wait until November to see the movie, but I am super excited that reshoots are happening, it keeps it alive and exciting for me ha ha! And for you, if I get anything good to share ;)

Jennifer Lawrence Filming Schedule: Catching Fire, X-Men...

Seems Jennifer Lawrence has a very busy few months to a year ahead of her with x-men and catching fire filming...

Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that Fox is informing talent agencies Thursday that the studio plans to begin shooting its in-development sequel to X-Men: First Class in January. That means Lionsgate could move forward with an August-September start date for the Hunger Games sequel Catching Fire without a conflict for Lawrence, who is set to star in both.

Will Gary Ross direct Catching Fire?

‘The Hollywood Reporter’ reports that Gary Ross is currently in fierce negotiations with Lionsgate, as he is not yet officially signed on to direct ‘Catching Fire’. Now that The Hunger Games is a hit with more than $363 million in the till, the question is whether writer-director Gary Ross will return for the next installment in the lucrative Lionsgate franchise. Unlike stars Jennifer Lawrence, Josh Hutcherson and Liam Hemsworth, Ross is not signed for a sequel. And negotiations for him to do the first movie were “a terrible experience,” says a source with knowledge of the discussions, because Ross is a seasoned filmmaker (Pleasantville, Seabiscuit) and Lionsgate isn’t accustomed to paying seasoned-filmmaker fees. He ended up taking a relatively low $3 million to write (with Billy Ray and novelist Suzanne Collins) and direct. But he will collect a very remunerative 5 percent of backend.

Sources say Ross, 55, would like a significant raise for a second Hunger Games, but Lionsgate didn’t kick off negotiations with him until about three weeks before the first film’s March 23 opening. By then, with tracking suggesting a huge opening weekend, Ross and his CAA reps were in no hurry to bargain.

Do you think Gary and Lionsgate reach an agreement or will someone new be directing ‘Catching Fire’?

Gicen "Twilight" director change-up each movie, I can see Hunger Games doing the same... but Gary Ross did a great job and I would love to see him carry on the franchise.

Alexander Ludwig on cover of 'Da Man'

There is a brief interview with Alexander:

On bulking up to play Cato in The Hunger Games: “I gained almost 40 pounds of muscle for this role. I’m currently working on getting back to how I was before Cato. As an actor, I feel that it’s important to make a physical commitment to create a character and it’s also important for me to return to my normal self.”

On his music career: “Check out my new song ‘Liv It Up’ currently available on iTunes! I’ve always been very passionate about music and am currently working on creating an album. [My favorite musicians are] Red Hot Chili Peppers, Eminem, a variety of country artists including Rodney Atkins.”

On making films: “My parents know how passionate I’ve always been about acting. I convinced them this was something that I was going to put my heart and soul into. They encourage me 100 percent. I couldn’t do it without their support.” See more photos at Source

American Idol 11 - My Faves

So, I have been watching American Idol, I just haven't had time to blog it.

The contestents are really talented again this year...

I really really love Phillip Phillips. I would love him to win. He has such a great sound and attitude. I adore him!

I also like Colton's voice. He is harder to like personality wise, he comes across a bit pompous perhaps, but I really do enjoy his sound.

For the ladies, I like Skylar's country sound a lot and Elise's rock sound.

Deandre is good, but not my genre of music. I also think Hollie may go home this week. She has been close too much and isn't really improving or standing out.

Jessica and Josh have amazing voices, very talented, but again not my picks.

I loved Heejun - he is such a character!!

I hope Phillip Phillips wins - - - so good!

Do you watch? Who are you rooting for?

I Love Emma Stone and Ellen and Dance Dare
