The "New Moon" movie was filmed in Vancity last spring and its stars seemed to make the most of their time there. Check out a few of their favorite spots and find out how you can see them all for yourself:

The 'New Moon' Cast Is Coming To A Mall Near You

October 27, 2009 at 12:00 PM | by cmb | 0 Comments

Last year's "Twilight" mall tour at the Hollywood and Highland complex in Hollywood, Calif.

Twihards are going to have the opportunity to see the New Moon cast at their local mall this fall. Summit is sending the Twilight kids on a 15 city tour to promote the next installment of the saga. At each stop along the tour there will be a Q & A with "select" Twilight cast members, prizes and other surprises. Some of the events will also feature performances from bands on the New Moon soundtrack.

Summit is also giving some fans VIP credentials to special events with the cast. To get one of the coveted VIP wristbands, you have to be at the Hot Topic store in a participating mall by 8 a.m. on October 31. VIP credentials will be given to anyone who buys one of the store's limited edition New Moon Tour t-shirts while supplies last. Select Nordstrom stores will also be giving out passes for special New Moon events at participating malls on October 31. For more information visit, nordstrom.com/newmoon.

The tour kicks off at L.A.'s Hollywood & Highland Center on Friday, November 6. Death Cab for Cutie, Sea Wolf and Anya Marina will also be on hand performing songs from the New Moon soundtrack. We actually (totally randomly!) hit up last year's Twilight Mall Tour at the Hollywood & Highland and it was pure chaos. Even scarier, the mania for Twilight last year wasn't as bad as it is this year. So be prepared before you go for angry, emo, vampire-loving teens. Also, R-Patz and Kristen Stewart were not in attendance at many of these mall events.

Only A Few Days Left To Catch The 'Twilight' Cast in Vancouver

October 22, 2009 at 11:39 AM | by cmb | 0 Comments

It's official; filming of Eclipse in Vancouver is coming to a close. On Tuesday, the movie's director, David Slade tweeted, "Just one week and a few days to go to complete principle photography, the finish line seems still so far." It probably can't come soon enough for Rob Pattinson and Kristen Stewart who get stalked daily by fans and paparazzi. A higher up at Summit (the film's production company) told E!, "Civilians are flying in all over the world to hunt down whoever they can find. It's bad. Literally [Rob and Kristen] have no choice but to stay inside."

It's gotten so bad, the couple has reportedly holed up together at the Sheraton Wall Centre and spends most of their time watching movies or listening to music when they aren't filming. It sounds like they have a pretty sweet set up though so we don't feel too bad for them. Apparently, they have two separate hotels rooms joined by a door plus a third suite on the same floor where they can watch TV on a huge flat screen.

'Twilight's' Kristen Stewart Demonstrates How Not To Handle A Passport

Where: Los Angeles International Airport [map], Los Angeles, CA, United States
October 20, 2009 at 11:13 AM | by JetSetCD | 2 Comments

With current hot starlets like Twilight's Kristen Stewart constantly flying out of LAX all the time, it's no wonder the paparazzi stake the place out. However, when Stewart flew back to Vancouver on Alaska Airlines to continue filming Eclipse after the weekend, she wasn't looking much like a starlet at all. In fact, she kinda resembled how we might look if we traveled after having been bailed out of jail after a fight with a bartender over the ratio of margarita mix and tequila. In other words: she don't look good.

On top of it, she is barely hanging onto that passport. Note to impressionable young international travelers: this is how not to handle your personal documents in public places. We're not asking you to wear a fanny pack or even get one of those hidden stash pocket things, but just don't be so careless with it. And with Kristen surrounded by grabby paparazzi, you'd think she'd be extra careful with her personal information. One slip while shuffling that heinous bag, and she's got no passport to return to filming in Canada and some guy has a new lot to add to the eBay.

Take A Spa Day With 'Twilight' Star Robert Pattinson In Vancouver

October 1, 2009 at 12:22 PM | by cmb | 1 Comment

Will Twilight mania ever end? Based on the number of Twi-hards traveling to Vancouver to see the cast filming Eclipse, it won't end anytime soon. Just this past weekend, fans waited for hours outside of Bella's house on 28 Ave in Surrey while the movie's stars, Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson filmed inside.

But for some fans, standing on the street in a Vancouver suburb isn't how they imagined their first encounter with Robert Pattinson. Maybe they'd prefer a luxury spa date instead? Apparently, the world's sexiest vampire enjoys getting pampered too. Pattinson has been spotted several times at the the posh Vida Wellness Spa at Sutton Place Hotel.

This Weekend's Guide To Stalking The Cast Of Twilight 'Eclipse'

September 10, 2009 at 10:24 AM | by cmb | 0 Comments

Young women (and a few men) are still flocking to Vancouver with hopes of getting a glimpse of theTwilight cast who are there filming the third installment of the series, Eclipse. But, finding exactly where they're filming has proven to be more difficult than most would have imagined.

On Tuesday, the Vancouver Sun did confirm they were filming at Capilano Regional Park but they also reported there were no signs of Kristen Stewart or Robert Pattinson. We also know they filmed the movie's big graduation scene on August 28th at David Thompson Secondary School which stands in as Forks High in both New Moon and Eclipse.

'Twilight' Stars Bond in Vancouver as 'Eclipse' Begins Filming

August 17, 2009 at 11:19 AM | by cmb | 0 Comments

Do you hear that? Perhaps it's too high-pitched for human ears; It's the excited squee of Twi-Hards around the world as the third movie in The Twilight Saga, Eclipse, begins filming in Vancouver today.

Even though they just arrived last week, the cast has already gotten in some quality time together. First, at Miko Sushi, 1335 Robson St, where Robert Pattinson, Kristin Stewart and the rest of the cast had a pre-production dinner party Friday night. Miko's is one of Vancouver's most popular Japanese restaurants, so its always crowded but the service is fast and the portions are large. Most entrees, like their Tuna Nigiri, run between $10 and $15.

Twihards Go Wild On Twitter For Comic-Con

July 23, 2009 at 3:09 PM | by egw | 0 Comments

What are pale, sparkly, and slept on a conference-hall floor last night? Die-hard "Twilight" fans waited in such droves for today's "New Moon" panel that even the famous had to stop and take notice. @PerezHilton tweeted the above photo of the line, proving to all and sundry that he really does leave the Coffee Bean once in a while. These fans waited without even knowing what stars from the movie will appear at the 1:45PM PDT panel—that's dedication!

Of course, it was Twihards—the term for hardcore fans of Twilight—at home who had the most chance of catching updates on the third movie, "Eclipse," currently in pre-production. "Eclipse" director @DAVID_A_SLADE bragged about scouting locations in Vancouver like a man unafraid of massive crowds turning up like they did earlier this year to catch Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in action. Slade, you're just making them all angry! Don't underestimate those crazy tweens!

Vampires Versus Pirates: "Twilight" Cruise Sets Sail In 2010

June 9, 2009 at 2:02 PM | by egw | 0 Comments

Leave your garlic at home: fans of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series and the subsequent movies take to the high seas next year when the first Twilight Cruise and Convention at Sea sets sail in August 2010.

Offered by a new company called Cruises Cruises Cruises, the Seattle-to-Juneau trip August 8-15 already has two Cullen RSVPs—Alice and Emmett (uh, Kellan Lutz and Ashley Greene to you). On-board activities include movie viewings as the sequel "New Moon" should be out on DVD by then, a costume ball and trivia contests. Is it too much to hope for vampire baseball too?

"Twihards" with extra time can opt in on a 4-day bus tour beforehand that will take them to Forks and La Push, Washington, which both feature prominently in Twilight and were used as sets for the first movie before production. But start saving your allowance now: cabins on the cruise start at $1049 for a double, with the bus tour at $449.

For a moment we thought vampires actually couldn't get wet, but wait, that's witches. Still, how will a night-dwelling people protect their sparkly skin on the high seas? Pack your SPF 5,000!
