Yes, it was… I saw the movie last night and that house is where Bella lived in Phoenix, AZ before moving to Washington.

That house appears two times in the movie.

My house is right next door to this one. I got to watch them film some scenes, and they even gave me italtian ice! It was so awesome.

I DO NOT like Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen. He’s not as hot as the Edwrad described in Twilight. A TOTAL appointment for me when I first knew about it. I always thought that someone super hot will be Edward… but no - it’s Robert Pattinson. Though, I have to admit that he does look quite vampire-ish. Such sharp and hard features, and that total sunken cheeks in the movie poster! But, stil not as hot as I imagine.

Wow bizarre- I just heard from my little sister that they used my former High School for that movie too. It’s in the Pacific Northwest, and how anybody involved with film ever heard of itsy bitsy teeny Kalama, I will never know.

Eh. The books ARE pretty sucky. The plot is screwed up and the characters are just unrealistic.

You probably won’t see this, Alex, but to answer your question, yes, they compensated my family well for everything, but at the end of the day (month) my mother judged it an unequivocal fail. Just not worth it.

on the photos- awesome! I’d kill to be there to see this. i actually can’t wait for the movie.

and on the other comments - READ the books before you actually comment on them. And LEAVE these teen girls ALONE. Be glad they are actually reading in a time when technology rules the world. seriously, that are just books. they are good books to, if you like that type of stuff, which i do. both laurell and stephenie are amazing authors.

Rachel & Rosi–

They can’t possibly be worse than Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake books.

Wow, I’m actually a pretty big Twilight fan, but I definitely don’t run around squeeling over the characters all day long. Nice stereotyping. =\

THANK YOU RACHEL!
I was about to say that… the books are dire and the film looks even worse. And the worst thing is every girl I’ve met who’s read them seems to think they are the pinnacle of fiction! Twilight was voted the “best book of all time” by my school (note: my school is an all girl school except for the top two years), above great authors like Michael Morpurgo and Meg Rosoff (who also write teenage fiction).
Everything written in that book is just a cliché… it read like fanfic written by a 13 year old with a slight fetish for vampires.
It’s pretty cool if your house is in a movie, but not one that’s this bad!

i HATE that series of books! thousands of stupid teenage girls are wandering around drooling over some vampire named edward. go read something with substance! oh well. they are probably the type of girls who wouldnt normally read anyway.

It’s a good thing I’m nowhere near you, Some Boca Dude, or my palm would be full of holes.

Anyhoo, I think these people only “rented out” the front of the house - so no damage to their possessions.

@violet: ouch on the piano! I hope they compensated you for that.

The cactus threw me for a moment. I was thinking rainy Pacific Northwest. It’s been a while since I read the book!

A couple years ago, the film “Deck the Halls” (with Danny DeVito and Matthew Broderick) was filmed nearby. They actually built the facades of the houses in a vacant lot! It was pretty amazing. They turned a grassy lot into an upscale cul-de-sac, complete with a paved street. It was during a heatwave, but they managed to make it look like the middle of winter. There was fake snow everywhere. What was even more amazing is that they removed everything when they were done, and the grassy lot is again a grassy lot. Movie magic…

Slightly off topic, but every time I hear or read “anyhoo” I want to stick sharp pencils in the palm of the hand of the person saying that.

Yeah, you don’t want to do that unless you aren’t really attached to your possessions or your house. My house was used for the movie “Heartburn” with Meryl Streep and Jack Nicholson many years ago, and some of the damage was not really fixable. You can’t, say, just repaint a huge gouge in an heirloom piano.

Ooh. What a nice fake cactus.

Alex, you might be able to get a part as a person walking in the background if you ask nicely!

And I think SenorMysterioso is right about being careful. A friend of mine put his house up in ads for minor films and inadvertently started getting calls from…adult film makers.
