Random encounters with Twilight's biggest stars have some residents in the mountain town of Squamish, BC aflutter and the town is buzzing with gossip and "twi-fans" aka "tweeks." As the cast and crew of Twilight: Breaking Dawn wrap up filming this week in Squamish the visiting celebrity heartthrobs have done what real people do: eat in restaurants, get pedicures, go to the movies and (gossip has it) get drunk.
"The cast of Twilight drunkenly stumbled into McDonalds three nights ago after a late-night party," Chris, a McDonald's employee told the Vancouver Observer. "They came in here in a swarm."
The wedding scene in Breaking Dawn is apparently being filmed in Squamish, under tight wraps. But despite the secrecy surrounding the set, the crew themselves seem to be relaxed about showing up around town. And ever since Twilight's crew rolled into town, business has improved for some merchants, like Jay Dewitt, District Manager of Metropolitan Theatres.
“It all started when Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart came to Red Riding Hood and social media took over. These young 14, 15-year-old girls were texting, facebooking and tweeting everyone they knew. By the end of the movie, we probably had over a 100 people inside our lobby and outside our doors waiting for the two of them to get out.”
DeWitt tried to calm the storm by escorting the Twilight stars out the back door. "The cool thing was that Rob came up and said, 'Jay, don’t worry about it, let them in.' Rob and Kristen stayed for a good 15, 20 minutes signing autographs and taking pictures,” he said.
After this, "a group of 30-50 girls would come to the theatre daily over spring break in hopes that one of the cast would come in," he said.
Mallory Proverbs, creator of the Twilight fan page MontrealTwilightGirl.net, is a 25-year-Twilight fanatic who travelled all the way from Montreal in hopes of meeting her favourite film stars. So far, she’s spent a month and two days tracking down the cast of Twilight: Breaking Dawn.
She spotted Pattinson and Stewart earlier at the Sheridan hotel in Vancouver but missed out on a photo opportunity. "We did see them but we were too in shock to take the picture," Mallory said. "They're so cute together."
She’s "Team Edward," sye said, by the way.
“Is that Kristen Stewart?” Mallory speculated, watching a brunette drink coffee inside The Cup cafe. The woman was not her, despite sharing Stewart's same stilted body movements and awkward mannerisms.
