Won’t Bella have red contacts ;-)

Cool

Out of all the directors Bill was definetly the best.

I’ve got to say that Kristen being naturally pale helps quite a bit with the vamp makeup. Not saying anything bad about Ashley Greene or Nikki Reed but since they are generally tan the pale makeup is a lot more noticeable. It just doesn’t look right on them.

And these aren’t re-shoots, per se. They’re pick-ups of small stuff that wasn’t shot by the 2nd Unit during principal photography. — Jack

I don’t understand why this is “news”. It happens all the time with movies. I guess because it’s Twilight, it’s a big deal. But it’s really not.

Bill Condon was busy with BD1 first, then only started working on BD2 last november.

Do you mean gossip cop or lionsgate? Because I really doubt that lionsgate would waste money on reshoots just to be talked about. Gossip cop on the other hand knows that anything twilight related brings in the hits.

Well here you are talking about them and giving Gossip Cop hits. Mission Accomplished. ;)

I remember reading in the book that it would take a few months for Bella’s eyes to turn gold. First red, then amber, and finally gold.

Sorry – but you are not aware how movies work my dear. This happens ALL the time. No publicity stunt.

Yeah…it seems like they go from red to “orange” (she still has to wear the brown contacts when visiting Charlie and she comments on her eyes being orange while transitioning to gold) and then to gold. I can’t remember what page she mentions the orange off-hand but she’s dropping off Jake & Nessie to see Charlie and going on to find J. Jenks in Seattle. Does that sound right?

@Chloe – what are “pick-ups”?

I have no idea actually. That’s something that was tweeted from Jack (whoever he is). Bill said that there wouldn’t be any dialogue shot. Maybe some better stunt work?

This is exactly what I was thinking! I can’t wait for this Robsten ‘dry spell’ to lift….i’m dying for some more pics!!!

Remember though…they cast a much older Renesmee…not sure if she will be used in BD2, but it’s possible–especially considering that they broke the last book up into two parts, meaning that they have more time to play with. It’s possible that they’ll do a ‘far off into the future’ shot…where Bella’s eyes are gold. Plus…SPOILER ALERT!!! *Do not read further if you do not want to know* but…I saw a few leaked pics online…and Bella attacks the Volturi. So…they’re already veering from the script. I don’t think it’s to much of a streatch to think they can do a ‘future’ shot of the happy family either.

LOL – I thought the point of the vampire war that wasn’t is that Bella’s “love shield” meant everyone was protected without having to lay a finger on the others. I’m sorry, this is just going to be bad

yeah i agree… they should do a ‘future’ shot of the family… it would really end the last movie off really well!!!… although do u think it will be 2 much like Harry Potter.. the last movie the way they did a ‘future’ screening of them 19 yrs later??… OH WAT THE HELL IT WOULD BE GR8 IF THEY DID A ‘FUTURE’ SHOT OF THEM!!!! i cant wait to see wat happens wen Bella attacks the Volturi!!!… 2 be honest i think its gd theyre going away from the script like that…. the Volturi deserve that !!!
could u send the link of the website u saw the leaked pics on pls ??

yeah.. well thats ur say… i think it will be rlly cool !! i just wish it cum out earlier than november !!!!

I liked BD up through Bella’s pregnancy and the birth but Jacob imprinting on Renesmee just creeped me out. It was weird.

Right

that imprinting thing creeped me out to, I hope they let that rest, the thought of him kissing Edwards grown daughter grosses me out too, its like he waited around until they made him a love interest, how terrible can it get .

Reshoots do happen all the time but I can’t remember when a director has issued a press release about it. It’s PR, plain and simple. THG is massively popular and Summit needs to organize a stunt to get publicity for this lackluster end of a critically acclaimed failure of a franchise.

Sure, it’s a cash cow, but I’ll be glad when it’s over. Reshoots are usually kept secret, but this is like announcing to the paps when to go to the airport so they can get shots of arrivals. Reeks of desperation. The only question is will this one get worse reviews than BD1? Probably, because the story is so flimsy, that even with adding a fake battle, critics are going to say it was much ado about nothing, and the vision of the battle is really cheating the audience. Bait and switch, something that isn’t even allowed in commercials.

At the end of the day the fact remains that BD1 was a blockbuster, and made a shit ton of money. Reviews don’t mean shit. How is franchise that set records and made millions upon millions of dollars? As far as Bill issuing a press release, the Twilight fans want to know what’s going on with BD2.

It’s nice that you think you know how all this film editing works. Bill Condon said that he finished BD1 the month before it was released. It takes months and months to edit properly. Bill knows what he is doing. He wouldn’t make up reshoots and waste money for something as dumb as PR.

Reshoots were done during Eclipse as well and they were announced. Reshoots happen all the time in film making but since Twilight is such a big franchise it gets more media attention than other films.

gossipcop please dispel the rumour I read on the net today, That Rob and Kristen have split.these rumour mongers are vile.

Summit did not announce the Eclipse reshoots, the paps caught the actors coming back into town. Studios do not normally announce reshoots, they’re not something to be proud of. If you did the job right the first time, you wouldn’t need reshoots. They are a sign that you did something wrong. Why would a studio want publicity about that?

Condon has had months and months to work on it, duh. He’s admitted it was the second unit’s fault, that they’re just going to do pick up shots with no dialog. Which makes it sound even less necessary and more like PR. And the cost of a couple of days in Vancouver is more than covered by all the publicity they’ve already received by their announcement. See how that works?

Not everyone is a housewife in Texas. Some people do know about film editing and about how making films works.

The ‘publicity’ that the reshoots are getting is just word of mouth advertising. It’s not like people will be giving them free commercial spots or anything. The studio doesn’t get any money when a gossip site posts pictures of their stars. Duh!

It’s nice that you think you know how directing works. Please tell us how many films you have directed. And links to porn sites won’t work sweetheart. You don’t know what you are talking about. Yes, eclipse reshoots were announced.
