Breaking Dawn Filming to Start Today in Paraty

November 9, 2010

As we reported yesterday, the production company has moved from Rio to an area called Paratay where the Isle Esme scenes are to be shot. The cast arrived at that location via helicopter.

Specifically the scenes are shot on the island resort we featured yesterday, but the cast and crew are not staying on the resort because it is not able to handle overnight accommodations for such a large team of people. The cast and crew are at a site off-island and brought there each day. Yesterday was a travel and rest day due to the overnight  shooting in the Lapa District the night before.

I can’t find the source at the moment, but one reason given for the back and forth to the island is that the resort is fairly open to the elements and if it rains (part of current forecast) it isn’t very protected and they’ll have to go for different shots.

The navy is providing security for both the inn where the cast is currently staying and the filming site. Apparently people have tried to access both sites and have been turned away. It seems that no one is able to be closer than 200 yards in either case. There is at least one major Brazilian entertainment outlet that has rented a boat and is at anchor at the established 200 yard perimeter.  Whether or not they will be able to capture any footage besides arrivals on the island is unknown.

We will post arrival footage in plain site when it is available, other footage will be below spoiler cuts. If you are visiting our page directly, the spoiler cut is obvious like the one at the bottom of this entry marker “spoiler click to read more”. Realize that if you are coming to our site via Twitter, Facebook or a direct link the spoiler cut is not there(just the way the software works), but you will see the term “spoilers below the cut” so if you don’t want to be spoiled, STOP when you see the word “spoiler”

The consensus seems to be a filming starting this afternoon, but that info has changed several times.

TwiBlogBrasil has a good rundown with great translation.

What’s In a Name? A Lot If Your Name Is Stephanie Meyers!

November 8, 2010

This story reminded me of this perfectly happy person I used to work with until the circa 1992.  Her name was Aimee Fischer. She spent a lot of time over the next two years saying, “No, not THAT Amy Fisher, and I spell my name differently!”

Check out the following interview from Galley Cat

“Meet Harper Perennial editor Stephanie Meyers. She has blond hair, an obsession with Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and reserves her editing pen for nonfiction books, not writing vampire novels. If you look closely, you will see that her name is only two letters off from the name of Twilight‘s famous author.

Meyers recently co-edited a book of essays entitled The Atheist’s Guide to Christmas with Robin Harvie and it features an essay by writer Andrew Shaffer (better known as Evil Wylie/Emperor Franzen).

However, if you want to find her on Google, you need to be very specific with your keywords. When asked if she would do an interview, the editor responded: “I’d love to talk to you about my name doppelganger situation—anything to reclaim a tiny piece of the Google search pie.”

Our interview follows below…

Q: So Ms. Stephanie Meyers, can you please spell you name for me?
A: S-T-E-P-H-A-N-I-E-M-E-Y-E-R-S.

Q: Have you got a funny anecdote about the connection with your name and the Hachette author that the whole world kind of knows about?
A: Well it was funny, I think the first time it really hit home, I got a phone call on my work line and someone said ‘Is this Stephenie Meyer’s?’ and I said ‘Yes’ and they’re like ‘Oh my God! I can’t believe I’m talking to you!’ And I was confused because you know, I think I’m awesome but most of the rest of the world doesn’t know that much about me and then after ‘Oh, oh, you mean the vampire novelist…’”

Some fans from Foforks tried to get the casts’ autographs. They missed Rob and Kristen, but they were able to get Stephenie Meyer.

Another fan on FoForks ended up having her father used as an extra in the Lapa filming while she watched because she was too young. It’s a cute story. Use Google translate to figure it out.
