The city of Volterra and Italian Twilighters are mobilizing to try to encourage Summit to actually film in Volterra and not just some generic town in Italy.
Usually when they make choices not to film in an actual town, it has nothing personal to do with the people there. It has to do with cost, accessibility, and support services.
Here’s what the organizers have in mind:
We’d like to humbly ask for your support for an important initiative to Help the City of Volterra host the filming of New Moon and to show you some great material we created.
Summit Entertainment confirmed that part of the movie filming will be done in Italy.
However, the town of Volterra is seriously risking of not being considered as the location for the filming.
This is why we wanted to show you the real Volterra.
We went there. We tracked the “real” steps of Alice, Bella and Edward in Volterra with beautiful photos and videos.
Watch our footage, completely translated in english for your users: you’ll realize why having a fake Volterra in New Moon would mean stripping the film of a part of its magic. You’ll see a little screenshot of some content we created in a picture attached to this email.
And after that, if you’ll still have any doubt about Volterra being up to the expectations for the film, read the official interview we had with the city representatives, coming tonight.
At this link you’ll get a view of the story where it was supposed to unfold.
We beg you, please spread the word to your users. We need to get as many signature as possible to the online petition “I LOVE VOLTERRA”, to ask Summit Entertainment to choose Volterra as the only Italian location for the movie.
