Production Vans Move Possible Props in Montepulciano, Italy

NAKED 5 O'CLOCK!!!! wow I'm excited

OME Laz that looks famazing!! Wow, they're going all out with Volterra- I am soooo happy about that
LOL at the donate blood sign!

That's great. I absolutely love Italy. And that place it's exactly as I always imagined Volterra. Especially the square and tower clock.

I'm actually starting to worry slightly less about NM the more that comes out. But at the same time I don't wanna slip into a false sense of security!

You're right. Actually, I'm a bit worried about BD.

I think New Moon will be alright! I don't worry about it that much since I've seen the pics. It already feels like I would seen half og the movie not sure if it's great though lol

I'm beyond worried about BD. I knew that once they gave it the go aheads it was gonna s***. I mean there's a bazillion ways that could go wrong. And I'm not a big fan of most of the book as it is! Can you imagine seeing the birth on a big screen?? Eww
BUT Isle Esme with Rob would be *swoons*

Then again if SMeyer made them change the kiss scene in Twilight because it was too saucy, can you imagine what she'd reduce Isle Emse to? It'd probably be like in the book where they're in the water one minute, and waking up the next....talk about a let down!

This in from Twilighters Italia 2.0

“Today our forum mods were in Montepulciano and look what they’ve found:

Alice’s Yellow Posche!

At the beginning our loved racing car was covered by a grey robe, but our
indefatigable facilitator/ moderator, suspicious of the dimensions and by
the chromed wheels, have began questioning people around.

Mauro Pellegrini the owner of the tow truck, had orders by the production
not to uncover the car, but after explaining him who they were to his boss,
our heroines have even been invited to remain till the end of the
shooting!!

The big man youcan see in some pictures is one of the stuntmen. He had an
Alice wig, a bandana, a couple of elbow high red gloves, and seemingly from
far he actually looked like our loved little vampire/pixie

Mauro secretly told us that there are two yellow porsche in Montepulciano,
placed in different places of the town. As they were not exactly identical,
one had yellow brake pad cover and another had them red, Production was
willing to spend to the incredible amount of €5800 PER PIECE to have them
all red!!!

Luckily they found out a way to paint them, but this episode says a lot on
how high is this movie’s budget!!!

The helicopter we told you about ealier, has kept low-flying whole day long
filming aerial of the main square.. The fountain is not finished yet, so
probably this was a rehearsal or shooting for the DVD’s extra-contents .

It also flown over where the porsche was, so probably we’ll see some
Twilighters on the big screen : our Marghe’s car has been filmed by Alice’s
car!!

We are honoured!!”


There’s also some great footage taken of the square looking down from the clocktower. [I don't think this was posted...]

yeah I didn't like it either lol

I think the birth scene will be changed totally. That would be so wrong to see it lol

If Isle Esme is reduced, I'll be mad. I love BD. Not as much as NM, but I like it. They can't just screw it up.

I think Breaking Dawn will be the most hardest to film. And also for us to take it. I think there will be lots of things that would be changed

Back to New Moon updates

Alice Cullen’s Yellow Porsche for New Moon Discovered!





The yellow Porsche that Alice will drive in New Moon has been discovered in Montepulciano, Italy! Ale at TwilightersItalia sends in this report–

The big man you can see in some pictures is one of the stuntmen. He had an Alice wig, a bandana, a couple of elbow high red gloves, and seemingly from far he actually looked like our loved little vampire/pixie.

Spoiler:

ME LOVES THE PORCHE!!

Exactly. I mean they couldn't have the birth scene as its written. No way.
And Isle Esme won't have the gaps filled it. In fact it'll probably be LESS R-rated than the book. Unless SMeyer realises that her audience need more action in that department! Details, woman!!
BD will be a letdown no matter what they do to it, I feel. It just doesn't work as a film IMO. Its the least cinematic of the saga. I mean how do you film Jake's book? Most of it happens in his head. They'd have the have the wolves TALK rather than think, which is ok I guess, but the best bits about that are Jake's thoughts when he's human. Those are hilarious!!! BD would have been unreadable IMO if you cut that out.
Plus how are they gonna change Kristen? She's gotta be completely different as a vamp. Her own dad could barely recognise her. Voice AND looks. And CGI-ing Nessie would be tricky too.


I love the porche!! So pretty

poisoned_rose wrote:Nessie would be tricky too.

That's who I'm looking foward to see. Nessie. Who'll they pick?

whoever they pick, they'll have to use CGI mostly. Because she has to be perfect. But more importantly the rate at which she changes. They couldn't use a real actress.

Yeah, that's true. But I still want to know how'll look like. To see if she matches the Nessie of my imagination.

I kind a can't imagine using not real actress. Do you mean digital character? lol

I imagine it. Nessie looked like 7 years old in the end of New Moon, right? That's easy. More or less children till 3-4 looks the same. Later they will just use make up, clothes and other things to make her look young.

No not entirely digital. They'll probably use a proper actress of about 3 or 4, and age her up and age her down as needed, and then pick a baby who looks similar. But they'll CGI the fruck out of it so much that what you see won't really resemble the real actress that much anyways.
No she's meant to look about 5, because thats the age Bella puts on the ID.

More pics from Italy

oooooh I love the flags. They totally look like the description in NM!

yeah, so far I can't say anything bad about the sets I've seen for New Moon That makes me to be even more excited

I know Laz! I didn't realise I could get more excited, but everything I hear or see makes me even more hyped up!!

The fountain being erected in the main square of Montepulciano, Italy for New Moon is coming along at a rapid clip. Recent pictures indicate that it looks nearly complete. In addition the pictured thrones may be props to be used by the Volturi in the movie.

Lots of pics in here http://www.newmoonmovie.org/images/new-moon-volturi-throne-montepulciano-fountain.jpg




I imagined fountain to be oval but round is also not that bad

Setting up the fountain:

Rob has landed in Italy today and fountain is tested with water. Looking real

According to the fine folks over at TwilightersItalia, Robert Pattinson arrived in Rome at the Fiumicino Airport on his way to Montepulciano at 12:30pm local time, which works out to 6:30am EST. He’s already made his way to Tuscany.

In other news from Montepulciano, the new fountain was given a trial run with water to prep for shooting the film. TwilightersItalia says–

Also today, they’re shooting in the centre of the city, our friends told us that the Porsche was actually there this morning. With a bit of luck we’ll have some pictures to share of that too later.
