Twilight Examiner: Update on Eclipse Filming!

It's raining, it's pouring, the old ... friends are meeting up in the woods?That's the case, according to a recent tweet by Peter Facinelli, of The Twilight Saga: Eclipse's set in Vancouver, British Columbia.Said he, "Meanwhile back on the set of Eclipse... It's raining again. Today, meeting up with some old friends in the woods."Inquiring minds will wonder ... what does this mean?

Well, as you might have guessed, it could have something to do with the Volturi.

In Eclipse, after the big fight scene showdown between the Cullens (flanked by the wolfpack) and Victoria (Bryce Dallas Howard) and her newborn army, some of the Volturi (particularly Jane (Dakota Fanning) and Alec (Cameron Bright)) arrive to see what's going on. Of course, they come across Bree and had to have her discarded.

Then, they have a back and forth with the Cullens to determine if and when Bella (Kristen Stewart) was going to be fulfilling her New Moon promise to be turned.

Two days ago, Facinelli's Volturi co-star Bright sent a message to his The Twilight Saga: New Moon co-star Michael Sheen (who portrays Aro in the series), and said "Miss you on set."
On the other hand, Jodelle Ferland (who plays Bree) tweeted about being on the set about two weeks ago. Of course, there is a possibility that she has been written into more than one sequence or that the Volturi's scenes that involve her could be shot separately. Anyway, she tweeted once again about going to the infamous cast dinner with her Eclipse co-stars just three days ago as well.
As already discussed, Carlisle has history with the Volturi stemming back centuries.
So, could Facinelli's "old friends" be the Volturi? Very possible.
