‘ECLIPSE’ FILMING UPDATE: BLACK IS THE NEW SILVER

Posted September 23rd, 2009 By: Evie 69 Comments »

We have a new update for you from the Eclipse set today. The Vancouver Sun and Twilight Gossip spotted Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as Edward and Bella driving around in Edward’s Volvo.

Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart as Edward and Bella:

On set with crew:

(Thanks Hugz!)

I love seeing just little things like this picture and trying to figure out which scene it’s coming from. It’s great to see a scene that is just one with Edward and Bella. I’m getting over the fact that the car isn’t silver, there are much bigger things in the story.

Do you like the car pictures? How do you feel about the car color change?

Well… as long as they don’t change anything major I’m ok with it. Yes I would prefer them to keep everything as close to the books as possible… but car color? Meh… not THAT important. But when they start changing really big things I will have something more to say!

Twi-Mom Australia: I’m sure I read somewhere along the way that the plate numbers were the same as those in Twilight and New Moon. Twilight Lexicon was in touch with Summit about this color change and I believe it was mentioned the plate #’s were the same.
It’s funny that something that is so simple as to maintaining the same color of something, for some reason they felt a change was in order.
There must be a pertinent behind the scenes reason and we are not in the loop.

Hey girls…maybe the world has come to an end and they just quit making Volvos in Shiny Silver? I really don’t think so. The color is a must but I do like the new model.

but… the… ome… the… *flabbergasted* its his “shiny silver volvo”. hes a “stupid SHINY SILVER volvo owner”. how?? why?? not good =( xx

WHY change the color of the volvo after 2 movies?! what the heck! how hard is it to just KEEP THE SAME CAR?! this one is uglier too i think. UGHHH i hate when movies change things that should and could be kept the same easily.

I don’t like that they changed the color. Model, ok I get it. But color??? It’s mentioned in all the books what color it is.
I do like however that they have a WA state license plate on it. At least they’re trying in some areas.
Bella

i dont like that they changed it but maby its not edwards car. i dont really care aslong as they dont mess up the proposle scene an the tent scene

I don’t like the change. I don’t know why it happened or who made the decision to change the color from silver to black, but I don’t like it. It’s one of those small details that I wish they hadn’t changed.

I don’t mind the change but I think it was dumb to change it! I think it takes things out of perspective alittle! I mean why change a good thing right?! ***And I first noticed the color change in the Extended MTV trailer for NEW MOON! When Edward and his BLACK VOLVO are in the parking lot for a brief moment before disappearing! Did anyone else notice this???
shonla

I could care less what color the car is! I just want a movie that is as awesome as the book! I like this Volvo much better than the one in Twilight and it looks nice in black! I don’t understand why it’s not silver but whatever…..

Edward’s Volvo is silver. Not black. That’s all I have to say.
OK, this is a little off topic… I think Tom Felton would have been the PERFECT Riley. For anyone who doesn’t know who Tom Felton is, he plays Draco in the HP movies.
Amanda

That is completly stupid.His car is silver how hard is that for these idiots to get.Silver is not a rare color .Heck paint that car silver.Dumb as.es.
Kelly

I cant believe they changed the car colour! Its like, in every single book, its like “Edwards silver volvo”. Not edwards black volvo. And wasnt his car in Twilight not even a volvo? Disappointing.

I don’t think the color of the car is a “minor detail” AT ALL..

say we said the golden eyes of the Cullens wasn’t as important… ok, maybe this one example is a lot… but let’s say… Bells’s relic of a truck was a newer model or maybe not red… it’s THE SAME THING!!

It IS!! and so is the “shiny SILVER Volvo”!!
Sheila

Isn’t the car Black since new moon? why is it such a shock that its black in eclipes? since the new moon trailer you could see the volvo was black. but it doesn’t really matter. i actually like it better.
Amy

What was the point of Stephenie Meyer writing down ‘silver, shiny volvo’ if it’s gonna be black?
Details, people! Sorry, but I think it’s a big point.
But… since the model’s different too… I guess we Twilight fans can just say its new… or stolen.
octavia

i really dont understand why they had to change the car color in new moon in the first place…it’s hard filming the sequels to a saga with three different directors, so they should try really hard to go for consistancy!!! i’m a TWI-HARD, I WANT TO SEE MY VAMPIRES DONE SOME JUSTICE!!!
http://twilightersanonymous.com/eclipse-filming-update-black-is-the-new-silver.html#respond aLiCe Xx love true Blood.

I really dont see why they even had to change the car colour?!
Does anybody know why?
It just seems pointless and down right stupid/silly to me.
The Idea was that, Carlisle’s car was Black, and, Edward’s was silver
have they forgotten that…?
Even if it was black in new moon, i still dont get at all, WHY?
tehehheheheee…

If anyone wants to see something that is, EVEN BETTER THAN TWILIGHT…
watch the T.V show, TRUE BLOOD.
tis awesomness, i am newly obsessed.

I agree with glo as well, They should stick to the smaller details just as much as they would (hopefully) to the larger ones. And I guess that we all could think of it as new… or stolen(lol) however… I dont belive that they ever mentioned that in the books either. Another small detail that I noticed was that Bellas bike, in the trailer, is silver… Ummm hello. Isnt it suppost to be red???? DETAILS… UGH Hopefully they get the rest of the movie right.
