Twilight Shooting Again This Week

Posted by dominie in Events, Films, News on August 27th, 2008

The hype over Twilight continues, as Thanksgiving weekend will soon approach us. MTV revealed yesterday that Twilight rallied up cast and crew to shoot “additional scenes” for the film this week. We won’t quibble over the semantics, but here are the details.

Its not uncommon for films to reshoot scenes, but it usually means that the original footage is less than adequate for the big screen—an indication that something is amiss. According to Peter Facinelli who plays vampire patriarch Carlisle Cullen, and Taylor Lautner who plays Jacob, however, this isn’t the case.

Facinelli tells MTV, “They like it so much, they are bringing us back for some encore time—to beef it up… A little salt and pepper.” Lautner adds that the shooting days were planned before Summit Entertainment swiped their early release date, explaining, “They’ve been showing it to some people, and some people go, ‘I want to see a little more of this,’ or ‘I don’t quite understand this.’”

Will the teen vampire drama live up to it’s hype?
