New Theatre Set, Costumes, and Action At New Moon Set

From: VanCityAllie.

Amy and I had a great night out at the new theatre set for Twilight’s New Moon in Vancouver. They are filming all the exterior shots at this theatre. Again, two scenes happen here… one where Bella and Jessica go to Port Angeles for a movie, and a second scene where Bella, Mike, and Jacob have that awkward movie date with that scary movie, “The Dead Come Back.”

The crew and security at the set tonight were great. They were very friendly, nice, and appropriately strict. Appreciate you folks doing a great job! Everyone was safe and had fun.

Theatre Exterior Set in Vancouver for New Moon

There were a number of sidewalk shots, but most of the scenes were shot under the theatre overhang. Cranes and rigs held large diffused light globes, and the sidewalks were lined with bright lights. Plus two spotlights at each end of the block. This was the closest many fans have ever gotten to a Twilight set. It was incredible.

New Moon Director Chris Weitz

This was my first sighting of Chris Weitz, so it was great to see the New Moon director in a fabulous white sweater with a really cool black red and white scarf and jeans.

Mike and Taylor

Mike Welch was looking dapper in a tan spring jacket and light blue button up shirt, blue jeans, and sneakers. Perfect for a date night out with Bella.

Taylor Lautner as Jacob

Taylor Lautner was in full getup as Jacob, and he looked good. Black jacket, dark shirt, and blue jeans. Wig looked great tonight and Taylor looked more chiseled than ever.

Mike and Bella talking

Got to see some scenes where Kristen was talking to Mike. I think she looks especially cute in this photo.

Mike Welch looking dapper

Didn’t get to see too much of Mike, but he seemed very comfortable on set and had a good time with the rest of the cast.

Taylor Lautner Running

Got to see some pretty cool running scenes with Taylor Lautner. He looked very much in shape. Didn’t seem out of breath at all! (Great job Taylor’s dad and trainer :))

Taylor Lautner Running

I’m still trying to figure out which scene in the book this is from. I don’t seem to remember him sprinting anywhere in the book during the movie scene.

His wig looked awesome :)

So awesome. TEAM JACOB!

They wet the road so it looked like it rained

Eventually they brought a truck by to spray the sidewalks down with water to make it look like it had just rained. They also sprayed the cars. Security joked with us that if we got wet they weren’t liable. It was fun to watch them set this scene up.

Changing the letters on the Dead Come Back Marquee

They started removing some of the screens in front of the set. Very cool things: They changed the sign on the theatre to “The Dead Come Back” and added an original movie poster!

The Dead Come Back Poster!!!

I LOVE THIS MOVIE POSTER. I’m so glad they actually made a custom poster for the movie. How awesome would it be to get a print of one of these?

Movie Theatre exterior shots

They had a ton of lights set up. I’m really surprised at how much it lit up the set at night.

Kristen and Anna walking

Got to see Kristen Stewart and Anna Kendrick as Bella and Jessica.

Kristen and Anna on set

They both looked beautiful. Kristen as “Bella” was wearing a dark coat, with a blue hoodie and a casual shirt underneath, with blue jeans and Nike sneakers. A likely Bella costume! Anna as “Jessica” was wearing a very cute houndstooth pattern brown jacket with pockets, with a pink, coral and white shirts underneath. I like the necklace they chose for her. Blue jeans as well.

Kristen and Anna talking

They seemed to get along really well on set. Both were laughing and talking almost the entire time they were shooting or relaxing on set.

Kristen and Anna laugh it up

Ladies looked lovely!

Kristen and Anna get their makeup done

Getting their make-up checked on. I liked the subtle makeup they’ve been using for these characters. Really suits them.

ROLLING! Actual on-set movie footage.

Fun night! Hope everyone enjoyed the photos. I’ll have some videos to put up soon too, but it’s time for bed. Hopefully I’ll have ‘em up on the weekend. Enjoyed meeting everyone tonight at the set! You’re all cool chicas… nice to meet the new folks as well as see the regulars.
