If any cast members would like their photos removed, I would be happy to do so. Thanks for letting us come out, watch the set, and take photos! We are very grateful.

Wow, what a night!

@amyburrows and I had a great night out at the new theatre set for Twilight’s New Moon in Vancouver. They are filming all the exterior shots at this theatre. Again, two scenes happen here… one where Bella and Jessica go to Port Angeles for a movie, and a second scene where Bella, Mike, and Jacob have that awkward movie date with that scary movie, “The Dead Come Back.”

The crew and security at the set tonight were great. They were very friendly, nice, and appropriately strict. Appreciate you folks doing a great job! Everyone was safe and had fun.

There were a number of sidewalk shots, but most of the scenes were shot under the theatre overhang. Cranes and rigs held large diffused light globes, and the sidewalks were lined with bright lights. Plus two spotlights at each end of the block. This was the closest many fans have ever gotten to a Twilight set. It was incredible.

This was my first sighting of Chris Weitz, so it was great to see the New Moon director in a fabulous white sweater with a really cool black red and white scarf and jeans.

Mike Welch was looking dapper in a tan spring jacket and light blue button up shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers. Perfect for a date night out with Bella.

Taylor Lautner was in full getup as Jacob, and he looked good. Black jacket, dark shirt, and blue jeans. Wig looked great tonight and Taylor looked more chiseled than ever.

Got to see some scenes where Kristen was talking to Mike. I think she looks especially cute in this photo.

Didn’t get to see too much of Mike, but he seemed very comfortable on set and had a good time with the rest of the cast.

Got to see some pretty cool running scenes with Taylor Lautner. He looked very much in shape. Didn’t seem out of breath at all! (Great job Taylor’s dad and trainer )

I’m still trying to figure out which scene in the book this is from. I don’t seem to remember him sprinting anywhere in the book during the movie scene.

His wig looked awesome

So awesome. TEAM JACOB!

Eventually they brought a truck by to spray the sidewalks down with water to make it look like it had just rained. They also sprayed the cars. Security joked with us that if we got wet they weren’t liable. It was fun to watch them set this scene up.

They started removing some of the screens in front of the set. Very cool things: They changed the sign on the theatre to “The Dead Come Back” and added an original movie poster!

I LOVE THIS MOVIE POSTER. I’m so glad they actually made a custom poster for the movie. How awesome would it be to get a print of one of these?

They had a ton of lights set up. I’m really surprised at how much it lit up the set at night.

Got to see Kristen Stewart and Anna Kendrick as Bella and Jessica.

Anna checks her script.

They both looked beautiful. Kristen as “Bella” was wearing a dark coat, with a blue hoodie and a casual shirt underneath, with blue jeans and Nike sneakers. A likely Bella costume! Anna as “Jessica” was wearing a very cute houndstooth pattern brown jacket with pockets, with a pink, coral and white shirts underneath. I like the necklace they chose for her. Blue jeans as well.

They seemed to get along really well on set. Both were laughing and talking almost the entire time they were shooting or relaxing on set.

Ladies looked lovely!

Getting their make-up checked on. I liked the subtle makeup they’ve been using for these characters. Really suits them.

ROLLING! Actual on-set movie footage.

Fun night! Hope everyone enjoyed the photos. I’ll have some videos to put up soon too, but it’s time for bed. Hopefully I’ll have ‘em up on the weekend. Enjoyed meeting everyone tonight at the set! You’re all cool chicas… nice to meet the new folks as well as see the regulars.

Oh yeah, Team Jacob!

Now that Amy and I have been lucky enough to get some photos of the wonderful cast of New Moon, we wanted to check out some of the sets we haven’t had a chance to see yet. Mandy was gracious enough to fill us in on the location of the new pool set. So we headed on down there on a quick dinner break from work.

This set is where they are filming the special effects green screen scene of Bella’s Cliff Dive in La Push in New Moon. Kristen Stewart, Rachelle Lefevre, Taylor Lautner, and Rob Pattinson were all filming at the secret outdoor pool location today (just for the one day).

In this scene, Bella jumps off the cliff, a flash of Victoria is seen in the background, and Bella plunges into the ocean and sees Edward’s “face” underwater. She is then rescued by Jacob.

The crew had set up a complex special effects scene at the public outdoor pool with a number of layered green screens set up high above the pool. They also used a number of cranes and rigs to help block out the direct sunlight (it was bright and hot today).

Security was tight again, and no one could see into the pool, but fans saw Taylor Lautner who came out to sign autographs and take photos. When Amy and I got there, we saw Kristen Stewart walk into the pool set shielded by umbrellas from fans.

Overall it looks like a really cool set! Kudos to the crew for rigging up such a complicated set. My guess would be they filmed some footage in Tofino of the cliffs, and are going to composite it into the water scenes here at the pool.
