It seems that filming for The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 and The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2 has finally made its way to Baton Rouge, Louisiana today.For the entire security detail, click here.
Scene Today, a local film news site, reports that along with the arrival of set personnel, security measures have been increased as much as six-fold, and authorities are monitoring the location with the intent to prosecute trespassers.
“So, we’ll have on property at all times a forty-eight man force. We are not taking security on this property lightly,” ST quote the security chief responsible for the location to state. “We will absolutely prosecute every person who trespasses . . . There have been six who trespassed before and they have all been caught.”
Yikes! What does this mean for Twilight fans?
“Most of you Twi fans know in this area that a large portion of Breaking Dawn will filmed in Louisiana. We have the wonderful opportunity to be making Bella and Edwards wedding cake. Yes!!! You heard me correctly. I am a huge Twi fan and wiggled my way in to be making their cake for the movie. If all goes well it will not be vaguely in the shop or cropped out of the film all together. Who knows. Can’t tell ya what it will look like…not until it opens in theaters, then you will get a clear shot of the cake Over the years we have made two of the opening premiere cakes for Rave Motion Pictures and this surely a great step up. Oh, we are definitely Team Edward!!! Ha”You can check out Fairy Dust Cakes here!

“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 1″ sold $24 million in tickets in its debut late Thursday night with shows that started at or soon after midnight, according to an estimate from Warner Bros.
That’s $1.8 million more than the last movie in the series, “Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince,” brought in from midnight shows when it debuted in June 2009.
It’s well short, however, of the record set in July by “The Twilight Saga: Eclipse,” which grossed more than $30 million during its late-night launch.
In fact, “Deathly Hallows” is the No. 3 midnight opening of recent years, also coming up behind November 2009′s “The Twilight Saga: New Moon,” which kicked off its opening weekend with $26.3 million.
“Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 1″ is on track for a huge opening weekend of more than $100 million. Now that it didn’t break any records in midnight shows, however, it’s less likely the picture will top the $158-million debut in 2008 of “The Dark Knight,” which stands as the biggest opening weekend ever, not accounting for ticket price inflation.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are saying goodbye to Brazil. The on-and-off-screen couple has been in Paraty, Brazil, all week to film the “Isle of Esme” honeymoon scenes. HollywoodLife.com spoke with a source close to production who revealed that Breaking Dawn producers rented the house for 22 days at the end of October, but Rob and Kristen are leaving the tropical paradise Nov. 13 by helicopter.
“It took the production crew 10 days to change the house to the way they wanted it [for the film],” our source tells us. “Then they spent five days filming scenes and now they will spend the next five days changing the house back to the way it was before.”
Several fans tweeted Nov. 9 that Rob and Kristen filmed the highly-anticipated “feather scene,” in which Bella wakes up covered in feathers after losing her virginity to Edward.
Though we know Rob and Kristen are leaving Brazil, we’re told they aren’t going straight back to Baton Rouge, La., to film more Breaking Dawn scenes. Our source says Rob and Kristen are “making a stop in LA” before returning to their private love nest!
A picture of Kristen’s body double (sitting in sunglasses) and Robert’s body double (sitting in plaid shirt) marking scenes on Friday for Breaking Dawn at the Isle Esme set. Photo taken Friday 11/12.
Marking a scene is when the doubles (unit 2) are essentially rehearsing in the areas where the real actors will be shooting. This is done for lighting and camera angles. This way when the real actors on the set they aren’t wasting anytime.
