New Moon Filmset in Vancouver, und wie alles begann^^

David Brisbin, Production Designer für New Moon hat einen wirklich interessanten Artikel verfasst, über den Effekt den die Fans und Fansites auf die Produktion von New Moon und Eclipse hatten.Und als ich den Artikel so gelesen habe, musste ich wirklich lachen, weil mir klar geworden ist, die Fans sind wirklich alles, WIR! Ich meine die Frau aus dem Artikel, diejenige die zum ersten mal Jacobs Hütte entdeckt hat, die hat sich nicht abbringen lassen von ihrer Vermutung, mit der sie, wie wir ja jetzt alle wissen, richtig lag und es ist sogar die Rede davon, dass die Twilight Fans sogar den professionellen Paparazzi Konkurrenz machen, ja sogar schneller an die Bilder gekommen sind als sie!

During prep on The Twilight Saga: New Moon it hit me that movie design has crossed a line.

I was roaming back and forth on the road scoping out the paint department’s aging work on an idyllic house and barn set in a small meadow. It was a remote spot, so I was a bit surprised when a woman pushing a baby carriage trundled up and said hello. “That’s for a movie, isn’t it?” she asked.

I go out of my way to be gracious to anyone in the orbit of a location, but on this project the producers had asked for an extreme level of secrecy. As warmly as I could, I ducked; “Oh, you know, don’t you think someone could just get tired of green and decide to paint their place red?” She shot back, “Sure, but they wouldn’t keep painting over everything until it looked real old. It’s Jacob’s house isn’t it?” She actually seemed to be salivating at the idea of Jacob (one of the two male heartthrobs in our story). The location owner’s name was spelled out on the mailbox right next to us, so I told her the place belonged to him. She was unfazed. “I can see all the fishing stuff you brought in over there, and Jacob’s dad was a fisherman before his accident, so it’s pretty obvious… can you just tell me this; is Chris Weitz the director?” It was hard not to grin at how much she knew about Twilight — but I bowed out. “Sorry, can’t answer that.” And on I went about a normal day in movie prep.

Late that night everything changed. There was a shriek in the front of the art department followed by rumble of astonishment. Our art director, Catherine Ircha, had discovered that the woman with the baby carriage had recounted that afternoon conversation on one of the Twilight fan blogs. She contended that my evasiveness — in contradiction to the evidence in the meadow — made it very likely that she had discovered a major Vancouver location for New Moon. Jacob’s house was a key venue in Twilight Saga novels by Stephenie Meyer, but had not appeared in the first movie — so this was a big find. The fan sites were electrified. The next day another fan (credited as ‘YouTuber Sunnykins’) posted a drive-by video...

of the location with her voiceover explanation of why this was surely Jacob’s place. She saw the red paint as solid proof, but she did note that the “barn or shed thing” did not precisely match the garage of the books.

Tja, so ist es, so bald es auf den Blogs ist, ist es überall MUHAHAHAHAHA^^
