‘NEW MOON’: FILMING STARTS MONDAY?

Posted March 13th, 2009 By: Team Switzerland 30 Comments »

As we all know, filming for the much anticipated ‘Twilight’ sequel, ‘New Moon’, isn’t schedule to begin filming until later this month. Well, according to Jackson Rathbone, who plays Jasper Hale, things are going so well that filming will actually begin Monday:

Thursday night, the whole New Moon cast – including Kristen Stewart, Rachelle Lefevre and Robert Pattinson – headed to Gotham Steakhouse for dinner.

As as the cast was leaving, Jackson, 24, revealed to paparazzi that filming for New Moon will be starting earlier than anticipated. He shared, “[Rehearsals] They’re going great, they’re going great. We’re actually going to start filming on Monday, so be sure to check it out.”

And, if you didn’t get your Esme-fix in our TA Follows The Stars post earlier – have no fear. We’ve just added some pictures of the lovely Elizabeth Reaser to our gallery:

Hey, if things are going so well that they’ve decided to film early…well, you don’t hear me complaining. If Jackson was correct in his statement, I think that’s a great reflection on ‘New Moon’. I really hope it’s true – I love to hear that things are going really well. And three cheers for Elizabeth in Vancouver! We hadn’t seen any pictures of her on location before, so it’s nice to finally get some.

What do you think about the news that ‘New Moon’ is filming early? Does that make you worried or relieved? And what about the pictures of Elizabeth – are you happy to finally see some?

    Does anyone know where in Vancouver they are filming?

  • kenzie

    i think rachelle said it in her, kellan and edi’s interview with Mario Lopez? but i could be wrong so dont hold me to it.

  • Angelica

    I think filming early is great! That way, they have plenty of time to go back and re-shoot something if it look off/awkward/wierd (or play with the dialogue if it’s flat or not coming across well onscreen). Something I don’t think they had time/money to do for the first installment. :)

    The pictures of the cast just make me more excited about the movie and satisfy my daily need for a fix. Isn’t that scary?! I need DAILY fixes of this machine and soon…there will be no more. :-s

    BY THE WAY– I love Rachele’s RED hair!!! It’s exactly the way I pictured Victoria’s flaming-curling-mess and the way it SHOULD have been in Twilight. :)

  • kijo921

    YAY!!!! Esme’s back on the set…. I was beginning to wonder AND getting worried! My love for the book’s Esme is definitely projecting onto Elizabeth Reaser right now….

    Edward: “This is Esme… my ‘mother’ for all intensive purposes.” Gotta love ‘er! HA! I just thought about Esme in Midnight Sun when Edward started playing the piano again…. AAAAAWWWWWWW!!!!!!

  • kijo921

    I can’t remember if I’ve said this before but I was hoping that they’d start on the day that the moon phases to a ‘new moon’ status on March 26th. OK, I know that sounded really geeky but I don’t care… it’s symbollic!

    Oh well, filming starts earlier… GREAT!!!

  • catie mae

    Ok i have to comment here cuz there’s too many ppl on the photos page. All i want to say is that i hate that the entire cast is smoking. only one who hasn’t is taylor. THANK GOD cuz he’s too young. and kristen, such a disappointment. all the older cast are being bad influences! but u can’t run their lives for them. but i do have to say that the cast looks really good! the makeup and hair looks better then twilight. i agree with rob’s blush tho, back off!

  • ErikaP

    Amanda- I asked that question the other day.

    I think we all can do a bit of “Googling” and find the answers ourselves. I would say one of the Vancouver’s National Forest areas…protected and yet probably available for filming. Has anyone checked out the city’s website?

    Getting started this Monday!! That gives them about 8 days! Hmm…will Chris allow them to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day?

    Will just wait and see!

  • kelly

    Hey does anyone else notice in all the cast photos where everyones out and about in Vancouver, all the ones of everyone together like Nikki, Taylor and Kristen then theres some of ashley and jackson, BUT ALL the ones of robert are of him alone???? whats up with that? why isn’t he out and about with everyone else?maybe its just me over analyzing like i do, but seems funny?

  • emmy

    EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!
    EEEEEEEEEEEE, EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    OK I know it’s not completely rational but I even screamed on the American release date for Twilight- and that was almost a month before Australia’s. Oh well…
    EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

  • gabbi

    nice! great opportunity to perfect things, and maybe finish filming earlier and give them a nice break between the 2nd and 3rd movie!

  • twilightfan14

    Relieved! That means the cast is so good they don’t need any more practice! And the director is happy with what he’s seeing. I’m super
    excited now! And more time to reshoot if they need to. I feel good about that too.
    Love the whole cast-great to see Elizabeth too! But I admit I feel a little weird looking at these pics. I don’t want any of them, expecially Rob and Kristen, to be stalked all the time. And by looking at these pics, we are encouraging the paparazzi to stalk them all the time. But, I guess this “thing” is so big, that this is enevitable.

  • melissa

    How can they be filming when Nikki Reed isn’t even blonde yet?

  • La Mia Penombra

    What a relief!!, I repeat, what a relief!! It is wonderful seeing that Elizabth Reaser is there! I was starting to get down, because I was afraid they had replaced “my Esme”. I cannot imagine anyone else in that role.

    By the way, what’s up with Taylor and Nikki? Have they got a thing going? I know Taylor is arm in arm with Kristin as well, but much more so with Nikki! I wonder……

  • I Found MY Edward

    I think it’s great!! Chris Weitz really did alot of prep work before hand, so if they all feel ready to start, then I think that’s just AWSOME!! Seeing all these cast shots & set shots has got me SO excited, I just cannot wait!!

  • twilight.obsessed

    IVE BEEEN WAITING FOR THIS 4EVER.!!! imm in teears of joyy.!

  • http://alice_turbervillehotmail.co.uk Aliceeeee…

    i think it’s a good idea, it means they have more time to work on Eclipse too, and i figured out why they moved the date to then its because Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows (part 1) comes out in November….

  • Alex

    If They Start Early That’s Fab!! :)

    Maybe It Means They Might Bring The Release Dates Forward? Starting Early Must Mean Finishing Early…..

    Awesome!! I Can’t Wait! :)

  • maeflower

    oh my god I heard that Jacob is being played by someone diffrent! I can tell you one thing and that is if the guys not hotter he can walk and the dorector bring the old Jacob back to the set!

    mmmmmmmmmmhhhhhmmmmmm!

  • CaseyLovesTwilight

    Awesome! I can’t wait for the movie stills!! I mean I was so excited about the set pictures. Oh and yeah, I hate that they are smoking to. Taylor Luatner is so exposed to it all! And doesn’t he look great? Swoon…

  • vancouverfan

    @ melissa
    apparently, nikki reed isn’t dying her hair for nm. she’s going to wear a wig.

  • liisapontini

  • Melissa

    All these pictures are great… the Question is….. Who is up there taking these photos? Are these photos coming from paparazzi or fans?

  • Susan

    I HATE TWILIGHT.
    Why do you all love it? Its SOOO Boring.

  • pinktwilightlover

    Oh, that’s just GREAT :D
    It must mean things are going well, and that is wonderful :)
    Can’t wait for the movie! And I’m from Norway, so unless I rab a bank and travel to USA, I must wait to January or February for New Moon :(

  • Kelly

    I think that it would be a great idea if you put the song “My Immortal” by Evanescence. That song would be PERFECT for the NEW MOON. Everyone should give it a listen =)

  • Kelly Le

    I believe that the new director should use the song “My Immortal” by Evanescence as the theme song or the main song, because it goes very well with what is happening in the book. Everyone should give it a listen and tell me what you think.=)

  • teamedward

    New moon is Filming “Downtown, Vancouver”

  • kenzie

    you should play DEFTONES during this movie. i listened to them the whole time i read twilight through breaking dawn!!!! the song ‘change’ mmmmmmm and some others. :) DEFINATLY put that song in this movie!!!!!! it’d be awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwweeeesome!!!!!!! :D :D:D:D
