Exclusive Look Around the Breaking Dawn Cullen Set Location in Squamish!

*So, super thanks to Anon and co who emailed into us with this incredible story of how they went in search of the Breaking Dawn Cullen house set:
My TwiCracker friend and I were driving back from Whistler a few weeks ago and decided to try and find the Cullen house in Squamish.


We knew approximately where it must have been so we started driving around and (after many wrong turns) actually found it!! We couldn't believe it!!


Since Breaking Dawn filming had been completed most of the set had already been demolished :( So sad! Although... we might have kept a teeeeeeensie bit of wood as a souvenir :D Silver lining!!




But what we found there was definitely interesting and it was SO exciting to actually be at the place where the last movies were filmed!!


First when we walked down the drive way, you come to a large clearing in the woods... on our left was what was left of the Cullen garage ramp, and we knew we'd found it!








From then it was easy to figure out where the building had been because we could clearly make out the foundation shape of the Cullen's house...




And the outline of where the garden was...




There were piles of more "fake" concrete rocks...




And at the back of where the house was, is a large garden area, which had obviously been cleared out and covered over with moss...




Down the middle, we could make out was must have been the aisle from the wedding!!






At the top of which was an indent from the alter Edward stands in front of in the trailer!!!






At the end of the garden was a bolder and log-seat set-up, which MUST be where Bella arm-wrestles with Emmett :D




The edge of the garden looks out onto the river, just like in the books, and is maybe where Bella jumps over when she first changes into a vampire and goes hunting :D




It was so exciting and we can't wait to see where we were up on the big screen with all of our favorite Twi-cast for Breaking Dawn!! SUPER SQUEEE!!
Suuuch lucky ladies! Thanks again for sharing xxx

*TCA does not support trespassing or disruption of filming but since filming's been wrapped a while, I see no harm in sharing their story :)


P.s. Check out my bloggy bud MandysMind post about her recent trip to Squamish, including more photo angles of the set and also a visit to a cliff face used in Breaking Dawn.

Kellan Lutz Models Via Skype...

I felt the need to use a pic with the least amount of clothing possible... I hope you don't mind?


...For his new clothing line "Abbot+Main" ;)

Kellan, who's currently shooting his new movie Syrup in NYC, told New York Magazine how he modeled the new clothing line via Skype to co-creator Danny Guez.

Danny has previously worked with figures including Justin Timberlake on similar endeavors (I wonder if Justin had to "model" for him too...) and worked with Kellan whilst he was busy on location up in Vancouver filming Breaking Dawn:

In addition to his rigorous Twilight schedule, Kellan Lutz has been hard at work on his forthcoming clothing line, Abbot+Main, which launches this fall. He's partnering with Danny Guez, the founder of label Dylan George, which Lutz also models for. "[Guez] was looking for a new kind of male celebrity collaborator to be more than just the face of the label," Lutz explained last night at the opening of the new Dream Hotel in the meatpacking district. "When he came to me, I really wanted to be hands-on."

Guez, who's also helped Justin Timberlake on William Rast, has worked closely with Lutz even when he was on location for Twilight in Vancouver. "I'd be designing in my trailer — I love drawing — and he'd create the samples back in L.A., send them up to me, and I'd try them on over Skype," said Lutz. Skype? "I mean, it looked kind of sexual, but at the end of the day, we were trying to make a good product that I'm proud of." Named for an intersection in Venice, California, where Lutz lives, the line is a combination of knit tops, henleys, hoodies, and cardigans. "I feel like John Varvatos has the Malibu-area vibe, so I wanted to create something that could capture that Venice feel," he said.

Does Lutz have any other side projects going on? "I still do a lot of inventing," he said. "A lot of chemistry stuff. I really wanted to make a breakfast-omelet-creator thing, and then I looked in SkyMall and they already have something like that."

Breaking Dawn: Not Quite Wrapped Yet! Who's Still Filming Up in Vancouver...


It appears that Rob and Kristen have both been wrapped on Breaking Dawn *tear*

Rob doesn't seem to have returned to Vancouver after his Water for Elephant promo in LA and NYC this past week, whereas Kristen has since been spotted heading home to LA after a couple of extra days filming...

However, many of the Breaking Dawn principle cast are still hard at work up in Canada:
Peter tweet about still being on location (so I'm guessing Elizabeth is also likely filming)


Although something tells me Kellan may have stayed back in California after being spotted at Coachella this past weekend

And Nikki appears to be back in LA having attended the new sidekick launch

...Now we wait for reshoots :)

Spoilerific New Photos From The Breaking Dawn Set - Vampire Bella Much?

Celebuzz posted pictures from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn set.

Kristen Stewart (back in Vancouver!), Guri Weinburg (Stefan), and Noel Fisher (Vladamir) are still filming.

I am curious to know which scene this is. If I had to guess I think that it may be some sort of fight scene... I could totally be wrong!

-Ashes

P.S.-- Summit, throw us a bone! We need an official teaser trailer, a promo shot, something!!

*SPOILER ALERT!!!*








[Lorabell note: From what she's wearing Kristen appears to be filming running through the woods after her vampire transformation. Stefan and Vladamir must be shooting a separate vampire running scene using the same equipment]

Taylor Lautner Out For Sushi... Again



PAP PIC WARNING**

According to Celebuzz, yesterday Taylor stopped at Sushi Sen for some lunch - he was spotted the a couple of nights ago too - from what I have heard, this place is delish!

Glad to see Taylor looking so smiley... Where's Lily?

Watch Out Vancouver - Humans on the loose for Breaking Dawn!


It looks like the humans are making their way back to Vancouver for Breaking Dawn!

@JustinChon tweet that he's due back in town this Thursday - @MichaelWelchAct, @AnnaKendrick74 and (oh yeah) @ChristianSerratos have yet to tweet any info but we'll be keeping our bloggy peepers peeled for pics of them arriving :)

Y'all know what this means? Wedding and reception - squeee!

Lainey's Squeeeemish Twi-Cast Sightings Prepping for Breaking Dawn Wedding


I can neither confirm nor deny the following:
This week is when they’re shooting the wedding reception and accompanying scenes for Twilight Breaking Dawn in Squamish. Am told there was a cast dinner last night at Rockwell’s. In attendance: Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, Peter Facinelli, Jackson Rathbone, and some other people I’ve never heard of. Rathbone teased Stewart about wedding dance moves and Stewart seemed “adorably anxious” about having to shoot them.

Before dinner Stewart and Pattinson played with his dog outside. I didn’t know he had a dog. I spent most of my investigative time inquiring about this dog. Unfortunately all I got back was “a dog of no distinguishable breed”. Unfortunately the source is not a dog person and was unable to do like dog owners do and speculate by analysing physical attributes. Jacek for instance thinks that any tri-colour dog must have beagle in them. Anyway, my dog Marcus just had surgery yesterday on his leg to remove a benign lump which is why I rushed home from the Junos. He’s fine. But really groggy. And hates his life because of the dreaded cone head, and has the runs. So there’s that.

Sorry Twi-Hards, back to you now…

I’m told Stewart and Pattinson were affectionate at the restaurant. Flirty kisses, no tongue, a lot of “inside looks and smiling”, a lot of “familiar touching”, like “two people who are close and comfortable with each other”, but she wasn’t riding him or anything. Having said that, there were definitely a few kisses. Happiness?

Which is a little different from what it’s like on set these days. Not that it’s not going well. It is. But my sources say there’s a “formality” to it that’s replaced the “collegiality” and “camp-like feel” that the cast used to have during the early days of production on the first film. Apparently it’s all very down to business, no drama, which is great, but the closeness they all once shared…it’s not the same. Very innocuous observations, nothing super juicy, but the mail from Twi-Hards has been really, really nice lately, I thought it might be fun for an update. The Britney hate mail on the other hand… OMG, so f-cking amazing. Coming up soon
Pinch of salt with Lainey as usual peeps!

Tilly (That's Taylor and Lilly) Spotted Eating Fresh in Squamish

Update: Taylor was also spotted at local Sushi San by luck fan @MarionTLindsay - I'll have the California roll with a side of jelly!


It turns out Jake does go for redheads ;)

I can not believe this chick is the daughter of Phil Collins!

Anyways, according to EntertainmentWise Taylor was sighted at a Subway up in Squamish and bought Lilly a chicken salad (...at 10am O_o but that's besides the point).

It seems Taylor was, quote "really protective over her" and asked about 15 fans to wait whilst he ordered Lilly's food before signing autographs.

The idea of Taylor having a girl stay at location way up in the mountains of outer Vancouver makes me a little sad that our little werewolf's all grown up *tear* gone are the days of inappropriate lusting over underage six-packs... oh wait, that's a good thing right?

Argh, confusing!

Edward & Bella's Love Cottage Is Gone?


Apparently the cast is finished filming any outside shots/scenes of Edward and Bella's cottage.

One fan was lucky enough to get a picture of the area after the house was deconstructed.

As excited as I am for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn movies, I am equally disappointed.

The faster we get to see the movies, the faster the Saga comes to an end...

Oooh, Super Clear New Shot of the Cullen Cottage O' Luuurve!

Click for bigger!

So, a couple of weeks ago the Cullen cottage was located in outer Vancouver

Even though a few lucky fans spotted the set and took pics showing some exciting details - like the Snow White-esque bay windows, storybook rose bushes and fairytale detailing - we hadn't seen any really clear photos.

I do not know how Twilight Lexicon reader, Lisa managed to get this shot (I've even been there and it's near impossible between all of the trees) but please bask in the glory of Bella and Edward's newly-wed love nest!

Super Sad Panda - Bella Swan's House Being Deconstructed!





Visit while you can, TwiCrackers - the Swan house used for New Moon, Eclipse and now Breaking Dawn filming in outer Vancouver is being taken down :(

I'm actually surprised this isn't being left up for a couple of weeks in case of re-shoots...

If I had the cash, I'd build a replica home on this property - ca-ching!

Breaking Dawn Filming Deets - Production Continues at Petgill Lake, Vancouver

Update: It seems some local Petgill Lakeians drove by Breaking Dawn production yesterday - although the footage its-self isn't groundbreaking (if interesting) the commentary made me chuckle:


Via source

After being spotted a local movie theater for a showing of Red Riding Hood last night, Rob, Kristen and the Breaking Dawn cast are apparently continuing filming up at Petgill Lake.

Located about an hour's drive outside of metro Vancouver, @JudiShekoni (aka Zafrina) seems to have Twitpic from the same location yesterday that she thought they were filming "in heaven":


Perhaps this location is being used for when Zafrina uses her power to create images of surroundings on the Cullens during training...?

What say you?

Pics of the Denali House up in Pemberton Valley... Alaska O_o







It turns out that this "lodge" is separate to the Pemberton Valley resort up in the mountains outside of Vancouver - fancy!

Apparently we can also look forward to photos of the rooms inside the lodge where Rob and Kristen stayed during the shoot...

I'm thinking that "vacancy" sign won't be there for long!

My First 100 Monkeys Show - Jackson & Bananas Play Vancouver

So this past Friday I went to my first ever 100 Monkeys show.

I was excited to hear the band play live and have a good time with my buds in Vancouver but admit I was a little concerned I wouldn't be too into the tunes.

Now, earlier in the day I'd taken a friend who was visiting out to the Swan house set location, which was in full filming - big trucks, trailers, cranes plus view blocked by black covers, trees and torrential rain.

Although we did spy a Jasper stand-in/stunt-double so deduced that they were shooting the suspected "Edward's bachelor party" scene.

However, this meant that Jackson was running late for the show back downtown!

So there I was at Venue with @MandysMind, @Cupcakegirl76, @Red_Bella, @RobbedMyHeart and a Haleton of other pals and no Jackson.

The openers, Rags to Riches held up well - I chatted to them briefly at the merch table after the show and they were very sweet boys - even if they looked about twelve... seriously.

Then 4 of the Monkeys took to the stage, announcing a second show would be taking place down the street at Forum with their missing banana, Jackson.

We all relocated and the place perked up en masse when Jackson was in the house. The full band fiiiiiiinally took the stage around 1.30am!

Now, I heart me some Jackson ever since I got the chance to interview him in NYC but have gotta say I was impressed with the Monkey's stage presence as well as sound live:


Yup, I think I'd definitely see them in concert again :) they definitely made me... go bananas:


See more footage over at TwilightCupcake

P.s. Sadly I wasn't able to make the in-store show the following afternoon so totes missed out on a meet and great - dangit!

Fan Encounter With Taylor Laurtner & New Girlfriend, Lily Collins in Vancouver Last Night, March 5


Lucky @Kooohl got this cute pic with Taylor who was out at The Keg (the one on Thurlow not the on Mainland) in downtown Vancouver last night. It seems he was there with British actress Lily Collins - apparently they're dating now - who knew?!

After an apparent mission with her friends to locate Taylor, all reports from the three were that Taylor was a genuinely nice guy #MakingPapaProud
