View Point Inn

Because I live along the Columbia Gorge were they filmed the first Twilight movie it wasn't much of a drive to go to the View Point Inn. The View Point Inn is were the prom scene was filmed. The owner proudly displays magazine covers that have articles featuring the View Point Inn and the Twilight movie being filmed there. They have a Twilight walk of fame outside were you can buy a brick for a thousand bucks to help with the renovation of the building. The renovation has been going well, Rob and Kristen bought a brick and the rooms look great. They are inexpensive and the Sunday brunch (which I had) was $28 a person and super great!! The food was fantastic and the view was amazing. They even left the Monte Carlo Casino night prop from the prom that Rob & Kristen walked thru for the movie. Ya, I got a pic under that. I even got to look out the window Victoria did and walk down the staircase she stormed down. It seemed less dramatic I know but still fun. We also went to Multnomah Falls which is right below The View Point Inn. There are about five waterfalls but Multnomah is the biggest. I didn't see any vampires playing baseball unfortunatly. Well, if you are in the Portland area please check out the Twilight sights you will be happy you did.

New Moon Poster & Twilight Movie Where Was It Really Filmed?

This is the new poster for the New Moon movie which will come out in 6 months come tomorrow. Filming is taking place as we speak in Vancouver B.C. and also in Italy. I was browsing another website today and the webmaster was commenting on her trip to the real home of the Twilight Movie. It occurred to me that many people are mistaken as to where the filming of Twilight took place. The book is set in Forks, WA and Port Angeles and of course the La Push reservations. The movie was filmed in Portland OR due to limited accommodation for cast and crew. The Port Angeles scenes were filmed in St. Helens OR. The Vampire Baseball scene was filmed at Multnohma Falls and those sweeping views from the top of the tree were of the Columbia River Gorge which is were I call home. The Prom scene was The View Point Inn in Portland OR. and Forks High was in Portland. I hope this clears up any confusion for some people. Forks is the ideal place of the Twilight setting that was in Stephenie Meyers head. She visited Forks after writing the book and talks about how perfect it was and how when she went to the La Push reservation she was waiting for Jacob to jump out of the forest at any moment. But, the movie and what you see there is definitely the Pacific Northwest, and as a Pacific North westerner I am so happy that we had a movie filmed here that did it's beauty justice.
