Myself and my daughter drove 1,500.miles (give or take) from Salt Lake City Utah to the Oregon Coast and back just to try and get on the set to meet the cast of Twilight & It was so worth the pain of driving all that way. It was a great bonding moment that I will never forget!!
We took of Tuesday April 22 in the afternoon when we arrived at the resort it was 6am. Tired and not really sure if they would be filming at the location we were given. We got up around 8am and drove just up the road from the resort we were staying at and we arrived at a fork in the road. We followed the "TO SET" sign, screaming the moment we saw it thinking, "this has to be happening today and here."
We went up the hill, around a corner, and yes all the trucks and tents and a lot of people were everywhere. We started walking a few feet and we look down at the beach and the set with the crew. we went down and after standing around for a few minutes I saw Taylor Lautner (Jacob Black) then Kristen Stewart (Bella) with some people who were holding umbrellas over them. We were told by some man to leave because it was a closed set and we looked around and realized we were the only fans so we asked if we could sit and watch if we move away from the set and as long as we didn't bug anyone. He said ok, but told us not to record anything while they were filming and we agreed.
So after sitting for a while and taking photos some guy yelled to me and my daughter to walk and lead the crew down the beach further for the next shot we were like OK? Next thing we know were are in the middle of it we watched the scene Jacob and Bella walking down the beach talking and surfers in the water behind them, I am sure it was the Scary story's scene were Jacob tells Bella about the cold ones (the Cullens who are vampires) and (the warewolves), but we did not hear what was said, we were not that close. Then I hear "AND CUT!" The cast walked to there tent for a wile, Kristen Stewart started walking up to us and looked at my daughter she shook my daughters hand and was SO SWEET!! She talked with us for a while and she told my daughter she was sorry she was eating a sandwich after my daughter asked her for a photo with her. She is so Amazing! She was humble, kind and really grateful to her fans.
UNBELIEVABLE! I had no idea a big star could be like that. My daughter told her sorry for bugging her and for being in the way but then she said really it is OK do not worry its a big beach you guys are fine stay and watch and enjoy. One of the nicest people I have ever met! she took a photo with me also.
After she walked away to go get warm my daughter turned around and guess who showed up on the set... Stephenie Meyer she was taking to the Twilight Lexicon lady's we stood and watched them she went to walk away we walked up to her asking for photos telling her much we love her and she was so down to earth again another AMAZING women and so humble and so so sweet.
we also meet the lady's of Twilight Lexicon they were nice they made a video of me and my daughter then they went and recored and interview Taylor AKA Jacob Black.
After we stood and watched that for a wile we herd them call everyone back to the set to record so Taylor turned around and we were right there. He only had a minute but he looked right at my daughter and she said "Can I have a picture with you?" this big grin came over his face he gave her 2 thumbs up and then jumped down to her put his arm around her and pulled her in for a photo, he had the biggest smile. He told her to let him know how it turns out, then went to the shoot. Kristen was behind them I did not notice till I looked at the photo.
he is so so nice he had to go so I did not get a chance to meet him myself. We had been on that cold raining beach way to long so we had to go 2 and a half hours and I was more wet then I can ever remember being, not to mention my daughters blue lips. it was hard walking of the set but just as we did we saw the Director Catherine Hardwicke we asked her for a photo she was in a hurry running down the beach so she said I will pose for you and she did.
We would have given almost anything to meet Robert Pattinson but he was not there and my daughter had a graduation lunch we had to get back for the next day so we had to go. When we get home I get info were Rob is there tonight, grrrrr, but hey we have to be grateful we got what we did and it was so great.
We had a problem posting the pictures here, but my daughter has all the photos and such at her blog: Christar.blogspot.com please credit any pictures used to her. Lisa Cullen Very Happy
