Videos from Filming in the Lapa District Featuring Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart
The videos give you the overall of a the crowd scene which is probably an arrival scene in Brazil since you’d hardly expect Bella and Edward to be partying on their way out of Brazil! This is likely some of the only footage that will be seen in Brazil as other areas by all accounts will not be accessible to the public.
According to BlogTwiBrasil and FoForks on Twitter, filming went through the night, approximately 7 hours. Lots of backing up and resetting to get crowd angles just right which is very typical of large crowd scenes. That many people are difficult to coordinate and timing is everything. Mostly the crowd of extras was cooperative. There were a couple of incidents of fan extras trying to hug Rob and/or Kristen in between takes. (photos here) There was also at least one extra who was removed from set for apparently being drunk and uncooperative.

Fans Not the Only Ones Renting Windows
Apparently Summit bought out the windows of residents who lived on the street in the Lapa district where overnight filming is taking place, and paid the bars to stay closed! Here are the highlights:
- Overnight filming scheduled from circa 11:00pm-7:00am (this after a circa 8:00pm filming at a local marina)
- A long city block was rented
- Residents on the block needed ID to access their homes all day long
- Residents paid $ 50 and $ 500 reais ($30 to $300 American Dollars) to not have people hanging out their windows depending how close to the action they were.
- Bars and Restaurants paid $ 10,000 and $ 20,000 reais ($6,000 to $12,000 American Dollars) to stay closed for the evening to eliminate noise and provide a clear street.
- There was background music playing The Girl From Ipanema (source here with additional photos)
A debate arose on Twitter last night as to rings and cuffs. Edward is clearly not wearing the wrist cuff, though as Alison from Twifans pointed out “it’s not exactly wedding attire” other have suggested he may have removed it now that he is with Bella, or maybe it just isn’t in the shot.
Then the discussion moved on to wedding rings. Bella clearly has one one. Edward we think so, but it’s hard to tell.
So, do you care if he wears the wrist cuff or not?
Want a Window Seat to Watch Filming? Going Rate is $30 a Person
According to FoForks people with apartments in the downtown area are selling their window views to fans who want to watch filming at roughly 30 American dollars a person(50 Brazil Reais).
Hopefully they actually see Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart for that price and not just background action. They also had to get there very early, because police blocked off access to non-residents and residents without address identification.
Earlier today there was unrest in the area resulting in police being called in.
There were incidents of arson when residents without identification were being denied access to their homes. Current reports from TwiBlogBrasil Twitter indicate that the security is keeping crowds back to allow for movement of vehicles, arrival of actors, etc. They crowd is excited but not unruly.
The above photo is a portable dressing room arriving. See coverage with plenty of pictures on Globo
Lots more photos of Rob and Kristen here.
Assumptions are that it’s an early arrival scene in Brazil in transit to Isle Esme.

TV In Brazil Covers the Jonas Brothers and Breaking Dawn
The Breaking Dawn coverage happens around the 2:30 mark. It’s in Portguese, but the pictures give you a good idea.

Middle-aged, pasty, white guys w/ glasses…that’s all I’m sayin’ …:)
Hush Hush Filming in LAPA Section
There will be some type of filming going on in the LAPA section. However, unlike the Marina where things will be in plain view (to some extent) of the public, barriers have been erected. Foforks witnessed the barriers being set up very early this morning for a shoot taking place hours later.
According to the report on Foforks, the residents of the area are having some trouble accessing their homes in that they have to produce ID to prove that they live there. Anyone who has been hired as an extra (earning approximately $70 US dollars accoridng to Fofork’s Twitter)has signed a confidentiality clause with a severe monetary penalty if they disclose details on what is filmed. Similar confidentiality clauses are in place in all areas of production from cameramen to limo drivers.
The most that is known is that the extras have been instructed that they are just to go about their business in the scenes being shot and not to look at Rob and Kristen so that it just looks like a normal background with nothing unusual.
More photos and write up on Foforks primary source on Globo
Apparently this “you need to show ID before you get home” thing isn’t going so well.

Brazil Breaking Dawn Filming at a Marina
Originally it was thought that Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart would be filming in the streets in the LAPA section tonight. Instead they have been seen in the marina district where Rob is behind a wheel of a boat. There is some debate as to if this will be an actual shoot (given what they are wearing) or just a rehearsal for a later scene. Update: they have apparently wrapped Robert and Kristen who are on dinner break. They may shoot more after dinner or leave it to stunt doubles. Also newly appearing photos on Quem (scroll down)clearly indicate that Rob is in make-up so it was not just a rehearsal. According to the latest, they are done with dinner and driving around in the boat. Photos here.
It was verified by the RK_Br Twitter and BlogTwiBrasil that director Bill Condon was on site.
Given Rob’s previous experience w/all things mechanical, we’d just like to wish them all luck.
You can see more photos on Foforks and via Quem (aka Who magazine)
