Canada’s Globe & Mail: Bitten by the Twilight Craze

Set9.23.09.2

This article at the Globe and Mail talks about how the Twilight craze, especially fan blogs and Twitters is affecting things in Vancouver, BC.

“We’ve never seen this level of interest by the public in something that’s filming in British Columbia,” says B.C. Film Commissioner Susan Croome, who adds that, frankly, it worries her. “I think there’s always a concern about safety when you have large numbers of people gathering in an area that is effectively a production zone. People are moving around a lot, there’s heavy equipment, there’s vehicles, there’s a lot of elements, and so safety is always an issue on a film set. And when you have people that are keen to see what’s going on and maybe not part of the process it’s always a concern.”

There’s safety – and then there’s showbiz snitches. Some of the tips Goodson receives have to do with the film’s content. And, like Showbiz Spy, Goodson says PopSugar is getting some of that information directly from the set.

“I think that they try really hard to keep that set as closely guarded as possible. They have the cast sworn to secrecy about everything and they try to have the set sworn to secrecy about everything, but there’s a lot of people working on that movie and there’s a lot of opportunities out there for them to leak information and that’s how it gets out.

“Luckily for the franchise … it doesn’t seem to lessen anybody’s interest in it. It’s not like they get the scoop and they’re like, ‘Oh, I don’t need to watch the movie now.’ They just want to watch it more.”
