The Twilight star tells us about his next projects – and what roles he’s dying to play!
Nothing is official until you sign on the dotted line, which is why Joseph Gordon-Levitt might need to do some serious campaigning for the role of The Riddler in director Christopher Nolan’s next Batman film. Twilight hunk Jackson Rathbone confides that he’d love to play the part – and we think he’d be perfect!
“Are you kidding me? I would do that at the drop of a hat!” the 25-year-old actor told HollywoodLife.com exclusively at Melanie Segal’s T.J. Maxx-sponsored Celebrity Retreat August 5. “I’m not going to take my hat off now,” he joked, “but that would be awesome. That is the kind of role I like. I like character parts.”
Sorry BFFs, but this means you’ll never see Jackson playing a romantic lead like his Twilight co-star Robert Pattinson! “The only roles I don’t like are the romantic leading man parts,” he said. “You know, at the end of the day, I like playing the stranger character. I like playing to the extremes of the human psyche and like to expand myself through art.”
I am not loving this dress, maybe it's the colour?
Purple was my very fave in jr. high school then by high school I started to love green.... funny we were told purple represented prudish/sexually deprived and green represented horny/sexually fulfilled...
it was about when i lost my virginity that my favourite colour changed... hmmm... ;) ha ha
The last episode had the paint HoH comp in full swing - - I posted a spoiler on who won HoH Here.
If you do not want spoilers, go away - - if you DO - click More...
More...So Matt won HoH and of course puts up Rachel and Brendan. In POV It's Matt, Brendan, Rachel and the three names drawn are Brittney, Cathy, Enzo. Well, Britt won it and Cathy seemed THRILLED Brendan and Rachel didn't and Brittney CLAIMS she isn't going to use it - so we will see... Also, Matt had the Pandora's box and I guess he took it and TELLS the house guests he won $1 - - but he also unleashed a new Sabateur.... America voted for Ragen, so I am assuming he accepted, Pandora's Box released him and we will get more details on air.... Sad that Brachel will end soon - - - though I won't miss her friggin laugh (I assume she will go, though it is smarter to send Brendan he is the harder player to beat, though Rachel is straight up annoying...
Anyways, that is what has been going on n the big brother house and what wil air all this week.
Sunday, Wednesday and live eviction Thursday on CBS
Here are some photos posted of Kristen Stewart's new movie On The Road. They were posted at TwiFans from @herbymoreau: Filming of ‘On the road’ movie starring Kristen Stewart, in Old Montreal #now.
Now, Izzie has posted some new photos from today. You can see them HERE!!
Last night was the results show when 4 became 3... It was a good show, and was not all that shocking...
Top 4 Group Routine
Choreographer: Dee Caspary
Song: Florence + the Machine’s “The Drumming Song”
Loved the song, loved the choreo, the style - awesome!
Musical Performance: Janelle Monae
Enjoyed this though it was a bit strange to start.
The Solos:
Lauren - “Wasted Time”
Kent - Taio Cruz’s “Dynamite” –
Adechike - “Sir” by Various Artists.
Robert - “Mr. Muscle” by Rusko.
Professional Performance:
Dancer: Desmond Richardson
Song: The Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil”
Musical Performance: Flo Rida singing “Club Can’t Handle Me” – from the Step Up 3D Soundtrack
Loved the all stars dancing to this.
Adechike is eliminated to the goodbye song: Black Gold‘s “Shine” – from their album Rush.
I predicted he would go home, lets be honest, everyone did.... I think its between Lauren and Kent at this point... both rock.. and I do love Robert, but he will place 3rd I think.
When I first heard "Love the way you lie" I was shocked to hear Eminem rapping / collaborating with Rihanna. The lyrics are powerful and today when I saw the video for the first time I was overwhelmed.
It's a controversial video - some claim it glorifies domestic abuse, maybe so - but for me it is a powerful message of how the good can go bad and once it does there is no escape, just repetition. I have witnessed VERY close friends experience this cycle and it pains me to know so many women allow it to continue over and over.
Dominic Monaghan and Megan Fox star in the video that showcases the downward spiral and repitious pattern domestic abuse too often takes.
Nilva said the video is especially potent because of Eminem's and Rihanna's personal histories with violence or abuse. "Eminem's history is ...as someone who sings a lot about violence," she said. "And Rihanna's experience [is] as someone who was abused by Chris Brown."
That history, she added, is what will make people look at the video and see "that the message is not 'Don't you want a relationship like mine?' The message is a warning sign."
During the four-minute span of "Love The Way You Lie," Rihanna alternately sneers in the frame and seems to physically diminish before finally crumbling to the ground in front of the burning house that serves as her backdrop throughout. The images may be melodramatic but symbolically, they are accurate, according to Nilva. "Someone who is victimized in a relationship does become smaller, does lose their power and their strength."
"I think we tried as hard as we could to not glorify the violence, to try and explain that this was a relationship that is by no means ideal and a relationship that probably should have ended a lot sooner than it did," Monaghan told MTV News recently. "The concept of 'Love the Way You Lie' was essentially a look at the relationship that Eminem was in with his wife, Kim, so I kind of felt like I was playing Eminem a little bit, and Megan Fox was kind of playing Kim.
"It's the story of them getting to know each other, and it's the story of their tumultuous relationship, and it was the story of the breakdown of their relationship," he continued. "Ultimately, what I think he's trying to say in the song ... is that he should have walked away a little bit quicker than he did and not let it get as messy as it did."
Personally, I can see how some may view it as glorification of domestic abuse since it stars two hot young actors with a lot of passion, however, the message they try to convey is strong and with discussion, young viewers will realize this is NOT a life to live and not acceptable behaviour... sadly, by the time relationships get to this stage, it is difficult to break free, as shown in the video and as witnessed and experienced by many people I know.
Here is the video if you haven't seen it:
Here are the lyrics if you need them:
Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
I can't tell you what it really is
I can only tell you what it feels like
And right now there's a steel knife
In my windpipe
I can't breathe
But I still fight
While I can fight
As long as the wrong feels right
It's like I'm in flight
High of a love
Drunk from the hate
It's like I'm huffing paint
And I love it the more that I suffer
I sufficate
And right before im about to drown
She resuscitates me
She fucking hates me
And I love it
Wait
Where you going
I'm leaving you
No you ain't
Come back
We're running right back
Here we go again
It's so insane
Cause when it's going good
It's going great
I'm Superman
With the wind in his bag
She's Lois Lane
But when it's bad
It's awful
I feel so ashamed
I snap
Who's that dude
I don't even know his name
I laid hands on her
I'll never stoop so low again
I guess I don't know my own strength
Just gonna stand there
And watch me burn
But that's alright
Because I like
The way it hurts
Just gonna stand there
And hear me cry
But that's alright
Because I love
The way you lie
I love the way you lie
I love the way you lie
You ever love somebody so much
You can barely breathe
When you're with them
You meet
And neither one of you
Even know what hit 'em
Got that warm fuzzy feeling
Yeah them chills
Used to get 'em
Now you're getting fucking sick
Of looking at 'em
You swore you've never hit 'em
Never do nothing to hurt 'em
Now you're in each other's face
Spewing venom
And these words
When you spit 'em
You push
Pull each other's hair
Scratch, claw, bit 'em
Throw 'em down
So do not read this if you don't want to know spoilers.
Last night's HoH competition was for endurance and that means it didn't air the winner but went on into the evening and will reveal the winner next episode (Tuesday)
SO Kathy was out first and she is the ONLY Have-Not this wee - poor gal. I really wish someone would tell her that Brittney, Hayden, Kristen and everyone were going to replace Kristen with her and send her home...
Anyhow the new HoH is Matt - again.... I predict he will put up Rachel and Brenden, then Branden will win Veto and take himself off and then Cathy will go up and hopefully go home?
THough Matt may switch it up and back door Brendon - we will see.
Wow! This was hot! I laughed at Lauren's "it really akes two to tango" comments. I enjoyed the chemistry between the two.
Dancer: Adechike Torbert
All-Star: Lauren Gottlieb
Style: African jazz
Choreographer: Sean Cheesman
Song: Ralph MacDonald’s “The Pain,”
Adechike is starting to shine for me, it's too little too late, but I am glad now that he made Top 4 (Last week I thought Billy should have, even Jose but whatever) I love Sean Cheesman - period! So this piece was really entertaining. I agreed with most of the judges, though I felt they were trying to FORCE America to get rid of Ade ha.
Dancer: Robert Roldan
All-Star: Anya Garnis
Style: Viennese Waltz
Choreographer: Jonathan Roberts
Song: Anouk’s “Lost” –
RObert ROcks, that is all there is to it!
Dance: Kent Boyd
All-Star: Courtney Galliano
Style: Disco
Choreographer: Doreana Sanchez (of course)
Song: David Guetta and Kelly Rowland’s “When Love Takes Over” –
Kent is so amazing, I love Robert and Lauren but I think Kent will win. Courtney and disco just works, I remember her doing it in her season and she just has that bounce.... her fist rolls were spot on (not that I know ANYTHING about technical dancing, t just LOOKED great!) Kent wasn't fantastic, but disco is tough
Dancer: Lauren Froderman
All-Star: Ade Obayami
Style: Jazz
Choreographer: Sean Cheesman
Song: Kosheen’s “Hide U” –
Ade is so stunning, his movements are just perfect. I was never a huge fan of him in his season but I know a few of my friends were and I am finally seeing why - stunning! Lauren was fantastic and again, I adore Sean Cheesman so this was just great for me.
This for me was good but again, I feel like he is definately NOT in the top 2 and kind of glazed over it and watched from the kitchen as I made a sandwich ha
Dancer: Robert Roldan
All-Star: Dominic Sandoval
Style: Hip hop
Choreographer: Nappytabs
Song: Basement Jazz ft. Kelis, Meleka and Chipmunk’s “Scars” –
SO NOT normal hip hop - very deranged, but enjoyable, pure entertainment! Loved how Dominic kind of got added to the tour LoL Robert is so stunning, I think he will be successful regardless
Dancer: Kent Boyd
All-Star: Neil Haskell
Style: Contemporary
Choreographer: Travis Wall
Song: DeVotchka’s “How It Ends” –
Kent and Neil - together, goosebumps, even remembering last night! Their baseball routine was fantastic, and last night's routine - even better! Travis Wall is truly amazing, a genius, and the routine was choreographed beautifully and performed wonderfully - it was amazing! It felt almost like a gay love story - especially with Prop 8 being overturned. ha ha! Either wa - beautiful!
It's really been a rollercoaster of a season. With so many injuries and up's and down's.
My guess is Ade will go home, then Robert. Lauren and Kent will be final two with Kent winning.
I was pretty shocked to see Britt win how about you?
I was stoked that the nominee's stayed the same, I started to panic when Hayden was working that deal - I understand his concern, but he knows Kristen will leave and to be honest, it's better, secret showmance or not - if she stays their relationship would come out and hurt him and also, she's a biatch ha!
I was so glad she got the hippie-tard - - - talk about hideous!
I am liking Britt more with no Monet, but still not a fan - Team Rachel and Brendan all the way - - - even though Brendan's dark eyes freak me out - he seriously looks like a hungry vampire that needs to feed!
Racel's laugh and voice still annoys me but I love them together and last night my husband and I were joking about how rad it would be if they just kept going back and forth winning HoH until the end - talk about power couple if they did eh?
Anyhow, I am loving R&B, I also like Lane, would love to see him creep from behind and win the game to be honest, but it's too early to make such bold predictions I suppose.
Can't wait for tonight's episode, I work late so Thank goodness for PVR!!!
Buzz Sugar interviewed Matt Lanter who stars in the upcoming "Vampire Sucks" movie:
Matt Lanter has a big couple of months ahead of him. Not only is he gearing up for the return of 90210, but in two weeks we'll see him do his best Edward Cullen in the Twilight spoof, Vampires Suck. At the Summer TCA, I stole Lanter away for a few minutes, where he talked about his respect for Robert Pattinson and his fears of Twi-hard backlash. He also revealed what will happen with Annie and Liam on 90210 and gave us his take on which character will come out of the closet.
BuzzSugar: How much fun was it to spoof Twilight in Vampires Suck?
Matt Lanter: I had a blast doing it. I've worked with those guys before on Disaster Movie, so I knew I was going to have a good time. And to be able to do a Twilight spoof — let's be honest, they had it coming, right?
Buzz: Do you worry about fan backlash?
ML: Like a bunch of teen girls showing up at my house? A little bit, a little bit. So please don't hurt me.
Buzz: Have you met Rob [Pattinson]?
ML: I have not! He seems like a great guy, though. He really does. Honestly, I'm a fan. He does a great job in the Twilight series.
Buzz: So you've seen the Twilight movies?
ML: Yeah, I've seen them. I actually read the first book. I did my character research!
Buzz: Can you do an Edward Cullen impersonation for us?
ML: I'm not going do a re-enactment for you! But I had the eyes and I had the hair. My hair was longer too, I had a very good, disheveled Rob Pattinson look going on. It was great, we pretty much closely follow the Twilight film. So a lot of the scenes in Twilight we're actually doing. What's also kind of cool is that we also follow our own storyline. It was fun.
Buzz: Did you get to do the sparkling like diamonds scene?
ML: I did, I did do the diamond scene. And I was naked in front of — well, not completely. I had a little loin cloth on in front of like 300 extras. You know you have that nightmare where you get up in front of everyone, and you're talking, and all of a sudden you're naked? That actually happened.
Mandy's Mind - This looks hilarious. I haven't heard many people pissed about it but I worry some may be - - - the bottom line is, everything in pop culture gets made fun of, and as HUGE as Twilight has become, it is only natural that it will create this kind of comedy - - - I take it as a compliment to the series and the jokes are just showing how popular the series is. Also, I have a good sense of humour and don't tkae much in life THAT seriously, so I will go to this movie (and probably laugh my ass off) and enjoy it. I hope most fans see the humour and don't get bent out of shape over it... plus, Matt is super hot (have you seen him on 90210? rawr!)
A TwiFan saw Mr and Mrs Smith on DVD yesterday and saw Chris portraying the role of the friendly neighbour! I didn't remember that at all!!! Very Cool!
The Cast of Life Unexpected has a facebook page where they post photos, videos, news, and will have contests.
Their page says:
Hey Guys!! Shiri, Kris, Britt, Austin and Kerr here!! This is the place to be to get all your behind the scenes photos and daily craziness. We're excited to get chattin"!
Brittany Robertson plays LUX a 15 year old who has been shuffled from bad foster home to worse foster home her whole life. Her parents, Cate (Shiri Appleby), who gave her up for adoption while still in highschool and Baze (Kristoffer Polaha), who never knew about the pregnancy, end up getting custody of LUX when she tries filing for emancipation.
Season 1 explores their relationships and the trauma's of parenthood and being a teenager.
While Cate is engaged to Ryan (Kerr Smith), her radio co-shot, Baze runs a bar and drinks and parties with his best friends, one (Math) who has been in love with Cate since they were in highschool (Austin Basis).
As if teen aged trials and tribulations were not enough, this 15 year old has to deal with her parents insane antics, comedic banter and back and forth attraction/resentment. It's a rollercoaster of emotional situations that will have you laughing and crying along side the very likable characters.
Forget Team Edward or Jacob - are you Team Ryan or Team Baze?

“After releasing both “Twilight” and “The Twilight Saga: New Moon” in November of 2008 and 2009, Summit made the seemingly smart move of moving “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse” to a June 30, 2010 release date. This was because of both fervent interest from the franchise’s fanbase and the expectation that opening in the summer would allow for a larger gross due to the fact many teenagers would be out of school and able to see the film numerous times during the work week. Instead, “Eclipse” has grossed less than the previous chapter, “New Moon,” with only $288.1 million domestic and a total of $644.8 million worldwide so far. “New Moon” ended up with $296 million domestic and $709 million worldwide and it’s hard to see “Eclipse” matching that total as its grosses have slowed considerably. Considering “Eclipse” received universally better reviews than the previous two chapters and was the most action packed (i.e., male friendly) of the series this has to be something of a disappointment for Summit. Granted, there is no need to shed any tears as the studio and series creator Stephenie Meyer are still swimming in profits as the picture only cost $65 million.”
I never imagined a Twilight Movie being filmed in Louisiana, but it is (partially at least) and it's not th eonly film. So many productions are heading south, and USA Today explores some reasons why.
Lots of fans were baffled when Louisiana was announced as a filming location for Breaking Dawn. We even openly scoffed at the idea on Twitter. [Mandy's Mind - me too!]
“The boom is most visible around New Orleans. In 2009, 22 movies and TV shows filmed there. Records have already been broken in 2010; by July, 24 projects had shot there.
“We’re way ahead of the curve in the New Orleans region,” says Katie Gunnell, interim director of the city’s Office of Film and Television. “The city has seen an incredible bump in applications for 2011 as well.”
Across the state, work is consistent and year-round, despite hurricane season and blazing summer temperatures. “We’ve maintained 20 to 25 productions at any given time during the year,” Stelly says. “We’ve doubled for New York City, Los Angeles, the Northwest, basically Anytown, USA.”
Those who have shot there point to several factors contributing to the region’s appeal: diversity of scenery, financial incentives and proficient crews.
“You can get an 1800s look, you can get a Parisian look,” says Todd Lewis, producer of The Chaperone. “You can get suburbs, you can get the country. It’s got a little bit of everything.”
Booboo Stewart plays prank on co-star Julia Jones at the Twilight Convention in Toronto last weekend. Twilight Lexicon was there to capture it on film.... Read on:
On Friday during the Official Twilight Convention in Toronto, I caught the last 30 seconds of a trick that Booboo Stewart and his dad, Nils, pulled on Julia Jones. I was going over the media for the Lexicon presentation or I would have captured it via IPhone video.
Anyway, what happened was that Booboo and his dad snuck a cardboard cutout of a shirtless Booboo on stage behind Julia as she was giving her Q&A. The audience started laughing. Julia didn’t know what was going on and then she looked behind her and let out a minor shriek. Then Julia started talking to the cut-out asking it questions and giving purposefully bad ventriloquist answers.
Well Booboo and his dad’s reaction during the whole thing backstage was hilarious. They were like two 12-year-old boys who had put a whoopie cushion on their teacher’s chair. They were giddy, seriously. You had to see it. So I said, “I can’t believe I missed that! I would have taped the whole thing from a backstage perspective.” Well, that’s when they let me know that they had more planned. Check out the video below on prank number 2 by the Stewart family and accomplices.
According to the Stand Up to Cancer press release:
“Change the Odds” puts cancer into perspective as a disease everyone must stand up to.
Through eight vignettes, the odds of several scenarios that are quite low, like becoming an astronaut (1 in 13,200,000) or getting trapped in an elevator (1 in 24,528), are contrasted with those of being diagnosed with cancer. In the United States, one in two men and one in three women will be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetimes.
“It is important for young people to be aware of the scope of the problem and the odds that they may face, both for their own future and for their loved ones,” said Ziskin, co-founder and executive producer of the Stand Up To Cancer telecast. “This piece is about how it is never too soon to take a stand against these devastating and epidemic diseases. Theirs may be the generation that gets us to the finish line. We are so grateful to all the young stars and to Marc Webb and Rich Lee for joining our cause so brilliantly.”
The PSA sends viewers to standup2cancer.org/changetheodds, where compelling content from featured talent and important facts about cancer will educate young people about ways they can reduce their cancer risks, including wearing sunscreen, quitting smoking and adding anti-cancer foods to their diets.
“We want to communicate that each and every one of us can play a part in changing the odds of getting cancer in our lifetimes, especially the younger generation,” said Webb. “Seeing these young stars get involved makes me so proud to be a part of the Stand Up To Cancer movement.”
“7PM CT. The one-hour fundraising event will be simulcast live and commercial-free on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX, HBO, Discovery Health, E!, MLB Network, The Style Network, VH1, HBO Latino, Showtime, TV One, G4 and hosted by network news anchors Katie Couric, Diane Sawyer and Brian Williams.
The primary goal of SU2C is to raise funds for groundbreaking translational research to accelerate the delivery of new therapies to patients, getting them from the “bench to the bedside” as quickly as possible. SU2C brings together scientists from different disciplines across various institutions to work collaboratively, rather than competitively, at a critical time in the field of cancer research.
As in the landmark 2008 broadcast, this year’s SU2C telecast will feature live performances by legendary recording artists and stars from film, television and sports, presenting content that provides viewers with insights into cancer.
The star-studded SU2C television special builds continuing public support and donations for cutting-edge cancer research that translates at a rapid pace from the laboratory to treatments and technologies benefitting patients. One hundred percent of all donations received from the public will go directly to cancer research.
The 2008 telecast was viewed in more than 170 countries and helped raise over $100 million. More than $83 million has since been committed to five multi-disciplinary “Dream Teams” of researchers from more than 50 institutions, as well as to 13 young innovative scientists who are undertaking high-risk yet potentially high-reward projects to end the reign of cancer as a leading cause of death in the world today.
The release date for Breaking Dawn: Part 2 has been officially announced by Summit Entertainment.
This just in from Summit Entertainment:
The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 – 11/16/12
Director: Bill Condon
Cast: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Taylor Lautner
The astonishing conclusion to the series, THE TWILIGHT SAGA: BREAKING DAWN, PART 2, illuminates the secrets and mysteries of this spellbinding romantic epic that has entranced millions.
The movies will film a la Lord of the Rings style concurrently from late October/early November 2010 until April/May 2011 in both Louisiana and Vancouver.
The footage of each film (and educated guess on our part) will appear at Comic Con 2011 and 2012
The movies will powerhouse the MTV Movie Awards, and the Kids choice Awards.
Part 1 to debut: 11/18/11
Part 2 to debut: 11/16/12
Mandy's Mind - Can you believe it? 2 more years of Twilight Movies and waiting - - - I am excited!!
Yesterday after a VERY VERY LONG and HOT day of filming some emotional scenes - Rob was off and heading home. He was kind enough to wave to fans, many who had been outside just as long as he had been working hoping for something like this.
[and apologies for the late post - I didn't have time over the long weekend to do prize draw - but I did email all winners this morning]
Your donations really help me keep the blog going and improving. I also really enjoy the draws and giving fans cool stuff that I have had the opportunity to get. (Draws are way more fun than ebay selling ha)
So I went to the fireworks in Vancouver Saturday with my friend Adrian and who sits down beside us? Kerr Smith and Austin Basis from locally filmed Life Unexpected.
It was so funny, I saw them stop to decide on sitting and then they started moving the sand around (it had just rained briefly) and setting up. As Kerr turned around I was in shock, it was Kerr Smith! Jack from Dawson's Creek and Ryan from Life Unexpected.
They chatted with us briefly, casually about the rain and setting up and what not.
After a few minutes of casual chit chat I felt like it would be weird to go on acting like I didn't know who they were, so I said "hey, I am a huge fan can I get a picture with you and Austin?"
They were super friendly and seemed quite happy I knew who they were and watched the show. Austin's girlfriend took the photos and we chatted about the show, Vancouver, local resturants, etc.
They were so sweet and down-to-earth.
Later they shared their cheese - it was hilarious they had the portable cheeses and Kerr held them out like a watch sales man, what kind do you want? ha ha!
We all enjoyed the fireworks and Kerr did a video/podcast of the fireworks and interviewed me giving me some Season 2 Life Unexpected "scoops"
He asked if I was Team Baze or Team Ryan - I hesitated (I am team baze, but he plays Ryan) he nudged me repeatedly so I said (unconvincingly I am sure) "Ryan"
ha ha "See there are Ryan fans out there" ha ha he also said that Season 2 things get stirred up and some Team Baze may not be Team Baze - time will tell.... makes me excited to see season 2 which is filming now. Also talked about some of the sets and filming locally.
After good laughs I asked him to take a pic with a "Hi Amy!" sigh (as per my friend Amy's request) I didn't have paper but I did have sticky notes (I always do in my purse, don't ask ha ha) so I snapped some photos of that and even did a video, though it was dark... I will still post it on youtube and if/when he posts his video I will link it for you to see.
Anyways - Kerr is super sweet - and Austin and his girlfriend were super friendly - - - I enjoyed meeting the 3 of them at the fireworks Saturday night.
Check out Life Unexpected on the CW - Season 2 filming now so you have time to catch up on Season 1.
I hate the word "exclusive" but it's the only way to indicate these are NEW photos sent to me from a friend and not some random fan that I don't know that sent them to all the blogs....
My friend Carmen lives near filming and spent the past few days near set. She had a great time and some pretty unique experiences.
She went to a few sets and was the only fan at some locations - so those photos are included in this post with some commentary from her.
These are from the "walking scene" she was the only fan on that set and she did not want to bug a clearly tired Rob because she didn't want her friend to get in trouble for letting her so close to the set, nor did she want to be asked to leave.
She snapped photos of him in the van and stayed quiet so she would be allowed to stay and watch. Lucky (and smart) gal.
Here he is.... looking exhausted - I can't even imagine filming those long hours in over 100 degrees yuck! Hope that van has a/c!
Here are some more photos of the set.....
Vehicles:
Filming:
The other pics he is going from trailer to set in black tahoe, they were filming in road getting the sun rising.
I love this shot:
Love it:
These are some pics of the house.
The dark one with the person walking in the trailer is Rob in a hoodie @ 5:20 am Friday morning....
Thanks so much to Carmen aka @ocd2009 for the pics and stories.
***Please credit www.mandysmind.com and @ocd2009 if you wish to use any photos for your blog or website***
**Edit - To all the vocal "anonymous" commenters - no one can know what Rob was thinking - maybe he was hot, tired, mad, preparing for a scene, who knows!!
Personally, I don't know, I'd guess tired and hot - it was over 100 degrees and he worked a very very long couple of days according to fans nearby.
I don't understand why haters come out and say things "anonymously"
My friend had a great experience, one many would love to have had themselves... Why do people assume he was mad at her, the one fan allowed on set... as if!
Maybe he just had to drive through the dozens of fans up the street? Maybe he was running lines? Maybe he was, as I suspect tired and hot.... who knows! I just hate that anonymous people want to try and make my friend feel bad for whatever reason...
I am thankful she shared her photos with me so I could share them with fans.
