Jacob Black's House being prepared for the set of 'Breaking Dawn’ Filming (photos)

Malicious Mandy blog is bringing us the latest news and photos of the preparations and props that are being added to the Black house from the set of Breaking Dawn.

They have added the fire wood, boat buoys, the Black mailbox and other details. There is no ocean nearby this actual location, so it's funny when they add boats, crab traps (which they did for the previous two movies) and all the boating and fishing props. They seem so obviously out of place, but perfect touches for the movies.

Elizabeth Reaser Talks Pattinson, Breaking Dawn and That Steamy Sex Scene Photo

"It's a complicated situation," Reaser, who plays Esme in the Twi-franchise, told me while at Sundance's Bing Bar to promote indie flick Homework. "If you're going to be an actor and you don't want to do dinner theater and you want to do movies like this, it's a crazy risk."

She continued, "I know for me, you want people to watch you tell stories. There's some part of you that is somewhat of an exhibitionist... I'm not saying you want people to chase you down the street screaming and attacking you, but it's a price you have to pay, I think."

Reaser had jetted into Utah from Baton Rouge where they're shooting the last of the Twilight series, Breaking Dawn, with director Bill Condon. "I feel like there's never going to be a time in my life [again] where I'm going to sit with Peter Facinelli or Nikki Reed at four in the morning with [colored contacts] in and pale makeup and laughing our butts off...giggling all day."

But it's way too soon to say goodbye. "We have so far to go that it doesn't feel like we're anywhere near the end," she said. "Plus we're going to promote these for a few more years, you know. So we're nowhere near the end."

As for that steamy BD photo of Rob and Kristen Stewart, Reaser laughed, "At least everyone knows: OK, people are naked. Just in case the frenzy was dying down, just in case no one cared, here's a naked picture of Rob and Kristen."

MTV: Robert Pattinson Laughs Off on new 'Breaking Dawn' Honeymoon Bed Still (Photo)

"I love how they release that for the first one," he told MTV News sarcastically Sunday (January 16) on the Golden Globes red carpet. "They just give it all away."

Pattinson laughed about what was running through his mind while shooting that scene, and told us the sex scenes with Stewart were no more awkward than with other actresses, such as his "Bel Ami" co-star Uma Thurman.

"It's always awkward, in a way, doing it with anybody," he admitted. "But at the same time ... it really depends on how it's staged and stuff. It's like doing Twister."

Also on Sunday night's red carpet, Pattinson's movie dad, Peter Facinelli, revealed some details about filming the big "Breaking Dawn" fight scene, leaking how much longer the cast will be onset with director Bill Condon: "We've been shooting the last two weeks with a lot of vampires," he said.

"I don't want to give away too much, but if you've read the books, it's the standoff with lots of vampires in play. There's like 70 people going through the works at once. It's a little maddening, but fun," Facinelli continued.

"We shot pretty much the ending of the two movies the other day," he added. "But we shoot until mid-April."

Architectural Digest features the Isle Esme Shooting Location of Breaking Dawn(photos)

Halfway between São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, off the BR-101 highway, lies a corner of Brazil bounded by forested mountains that edge their way down to the sea. The Saco do Mamanguá, a tropical fjord, cuts between the mainland and the peninsula of Juatinga, where ridges approaching 1,600 feet frame a narrow bay; this pristine spot is where businessman Ícaro Fernandes, his wife, Cristina, and their five children, ranging in age from three to 24, come to trade life in the urban jungle of São Paulo for waterskiing and dolphin-watching. On weekends, the clan braves São Paulo’s notorious traffic to make the nearly three-hour drive to the colonial town of Paraty, where they hop onto a speedboat for the short ride to their beachfront home.

Fernandes and his family got to know Saco do Mamanguá in 2001, when they visited friends who owned a house in the area, and they eventually decided to buy a 99-acre property on one of the inlet’s loveliest beaches. Fernandes, a real-estate developer who also owns a food-import business, had long admired the work of Brazilian architects Bernardes + Jacobsen, lauded for their imaginative tropical-modern houses. So he called on the firm—now headed by Thiago Bernardes, son of the late Claudio Bernardes and grandson of Sergio Bernardes (1919–2002), and Paulo Jacobsen, partner to all three generations—to design his family’s retreat. “My father and Paulo were constantly researching how to build with natural materials and with an economy of resources—for example, trying to understand how fishermen built their simple wood shelters and how to integrate good natural ventilation into a house,” explains Thiago Bernardes. “That’s the vision Ícaro asked us to incorporate into his home.”

Master's Bedroom

Instead of siting the house on the property’s highest point, as his client imagined, Bernardes suggested placing the nearly 11,000-square-foot building closer to the beach, nestled between two small hills. Bernardes knew cooling breezes would flow naturally through the pass and also clear through the house; this in turn led him to a dramatic layout in which a double-height living area, open to the elements through louvered windows and pivoting glass doors, would spill out onto a deep, shaded veranda extending the full length of the house.

This towering central room neatly divides the interior into three parts. To one side of the space, a kitchen, dining room, and service wing sit below a spacious master suite. On the other, two guest rooms and a family room are beneath the children’s bedrooms; a bridge spans the open living area to connect the family’s sleeping quarters. The combination of skylights overhead and palm and banana trees sprouting from planters set into the floor makes the interior feel like an extension of the outdoors. “Every idea I had in my head about what the house would look like and where it would be located, Thiago said no to,” recalls Fernandes with a laugh. “He didn’t do a single thing I requested. But it turned out ten times better than I ever imagined.”
