THIS BLOG POST CONTAINS VIDEO/AUDIO & A DESCRIPTION OF A MAJOR SPOILER SCENE FOR EPISODE 121 (from what I was told there)! IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THIS EPISODE & DONT LIKE SPOILERS.... I ADVISE NOT CONTINUING ON! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED . . . . . . Final warning. As I stated in my last blog post with the still photos from this scene, there is video from this scene. The scene lasts about a minute & you can quite clearly hear dialogue from the likes of Lee Arenberg (Leroy/Grumpy), Ginnifer Goodwin (Mary Margaret Blanchard/Snow White) & Josh Dallas (David Nolan/Prince Charming) as they yell at the Mayor, who is tied to a tree. Lots of speculation has arisen on whether this is a dream sequence, or real. I got to say, its very hard to know for sure. My feeling is its a real scene, but that the end result of this will not break the curse. I saw some of the filming for the finale, episode 122 as well, and knowing what I saw in that shooting, I am more inclined to think this scene is real. In any case, here is the video of the Dwarves, Ruby Red, Granny, David & Mary Margaret, Dr. Hopper, Henry & of course Emma, giving Regina some nastiness back. As with all my sets, if you re-post my photos/videos, do so with proper credits & DO NOT remove the tags, or they will be removed from your site & the site may penalize you however their rules state for such infractions, which may include legal or civil penalties. If you want photo/videoss untagged for your site, images are for sale untagged, just inquire... as are autographs of the stars at the link tagged "Once Upon A Time autographs" on the left.

THIS BLOG POST CONTAINS PICS & A DESCRIPTION OF A MAJOR SPOILER SCENE FOR EPISODE 121 (from what I was told there)! IF YOU HAVENT SEEN THIS EPISODE & DONT LIKE SPOILERS.... I ADVISE NOT CONTINUING ON! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED . . . . . . Final warning. Ok, so those of you still reading on.... you have seen the ABC promo video by now for 121, and you have seen the scene where Regina is tied to a tree? If not, well, I guess these pics are even more suprising. In that scene, all you see is a close up of Emma with a sword swinging it and Regina tied to a tree & a breif pic of many of the residents of Storybrooke behind her watching. So, I happened to be around that night, and sure enough, caught this amazing scene being shot. Below are some photos (I apologize, some are grainy/blurry, sorry. It was dark & I was a block & 1/2 away). The scene entails Ruby & Dr. Hopper securing Regina to a tree thats in the middle of the road in downtown Storybrooke. All the characters gather around, and angrily yell at Regina their frustrations & feelings. "You're not queen anymore sister", "you took our love & ripped it apart" & "now your going to pay" just being some of the things yelled out at her by the angry mob. The Dwarves, Granny, Dr. Hopper, Mary & David, Ruby, Henry & of course Emma are all seen making a half arc around her, while some hold torches, others just stand around angrily venting. The scene ends with Emma grabbing a sword from David, and swinging it at Regina, who is still tied to the tree. When I saw this scene originally I was fascinated with wondering how they were going to get to this point so quickly, and having seen last weeks episode, I can solemnly say... I am still confused. Moreso, I am confused why ABC is burning what should be season 2 cliff hanger material so early. I guess I will find out on Sunday. Notably absent from the lynch mob... Mr. Gold & August W. Booth. Hmmmmm... As with all my sets, if you re-post my photos, do so with proper credits & DO NOT remove the tags, or they will be removed from your site & the site may penalize you however their rules state for such infractions, which may include legal or civil penalties. If you want photos untagged for your site, images are for sale untagged, just inquire... as are autographs of the stars at the link tagged "Once Upon A Time autographs" on the left. I will try to get the video uploaded as soon as I can. PROBABLY not today though. Links to other pics from my visit to OUAT set during episode 121                        During the filming for episode 121 of the ABC hit show Once Upon A Time, I ran into a literal plethora of the shows main & secondary cast. Here is a few pics of the guys of Storybrooke interacting with the fans on set that day. I already posted the women of Storybrooke post earlier, link SHOULD (if I did this right) be below in this blog to that post. For how big this show is, and how many cast it has, its truly amazing that each 1 of them has been terrific with fans & professionals alike everytime. below are pics of Robert Carlyle, Jared Gilmore & Josh Dallas (later that night) making fans happy. I will have some ON SET, VERY SPOILERY photos & video of scenes from that night to post later. I will try to post the links to those blogs in here as well (if I remember) In the meantime, heres the pics of Mr. Gold, Henry Mills & David Nolan. As with all my sets, if you re-post my photos, do so with proper credits & DO NOT remove the tags, or they will be removed from your site & the site may penalize you however their rules state for such infractions, which may include legal or civil penalties. If you want photos untagged for your site, images are for sale untagged, just inquire... as are autographs of the stars at the link tagged "Once Upon A Time autographs" on the left.                            Earlier this week I took the hour or so trip to the far end of Richmond by skytrain & bus to the small village of Steveston. Of course, as most fans of Once Upon A Time (Best New Show finalist in the Best Of TV Awards 2011 polls) know, Steveston is where much of downtown Storybrooke is set. This week they were filming scenes for episode 15, which from what I have been told is supposed to centre around the character of Little Red Riding Hood/Ruby (played by actress Meghan Ory). So I headed out there, as Meghan was 1 of the few cast members on the show I have yet to get autographs from. When I got out there I found Mary Margaret Blanchard (played by Best Actress In an Action/drama finalist in our Best Of TV Awards 2011 polls, Ginnifer Goodwin) & Granny (played by Beverly Elliott) doing a scene right on the corner I was heading down. No sign of Ms. Ory at that time, but I took some shots of the scene between Goodwin & Elliott. After their scene wrapped, myself & another local hound went across the street to get autographs. he went for Ginny, while I went for someone I had not gotten before... Beverly Elliott. She was quite amazed I had a photo of her, asked where I got it. I asked if she had seen it before & she said "yes, but not blown up into a photo", she signed it & thanked me for being there. Later on I in the evening found Ginnifer back at the set. She walked over to an ice cream shop that I had earlier wondered if it was being used for a scene or just a product of clever advertising. It had in its window a riddle promoting "Red Riding Hood Ice Cream". I saw Ginny, Jared Gilmore & several of his school class mate cast members in there enjoying ice cream on what was a very cold day already. At first, I assumed they were shooting scenes in there...but later came to realize, nope, it was just an ice cream stop during a breaking in shooting. At that point Jared was told he was wrapped for the day, while Ginny hurried back to the set where she still had a scene to do with Jennifer Morrison & Josh Dallas, where she would be inside & out of sight. I never actually ran into Meghan Ory the day I was there. She wrapped her day scenes shortly before I got there...and was there fir night scenes shortly after I left. Had the weather not been so bitterly cold, I might have braved it for a bit longer that day. But at least I didnt go away shut out, as I got a few pics from scenes, and an autograph from a cast member I had yet to meet. Below is a few pics from the day & a couple of different props & set locations, including the Dr. Hoppers office door & Ruby's car.... which appears to be just fine after the fender bender it was in earlier in the season.                                     Now that 2011 has expired, it is time to look back at the year that was. I didnt travel too much this year, but that was ok, as elite names were roaming the streets of Vancouver throughout the year... now only if I had ran into some of them. 20 - Ellen Degeneres I managed to get the talk show icon twice on her trip to Vancouver, including the 1st autograph I got in which I had to run 4 blocks to get after being given up to the second info on where she was. Few if any autographs I got this year took more energy out of me than that 1st 1 I got from her. Next day, she signed again and was happy to do it. 19 - Axl Rose For a long time, I had heard nothing but horror stories about the lead singer for Guns N Roses. So I was not eager to go for him. However, this past time thru Vancouver, not only did the band actually play the show they came here to play, but Axl was even a willing signer. Pretty much anyone that went for him here got him. 18 - Simon Pegg While here for Mission Impossible 4: Ghost Protocol, Mr. Pegg was the most often seen of the films stars. Whether it was at the airport, his hotel or the movie theatre, the Hot Fuzz star signed whatever was asked more often than not. 17 - Henry Cavill The new Superman has been very good here so far. Although he is strict about limiting his autograph to 1 per person each time you see him, he has still been terrific in the interactions people have had with him. 16 - Cast of Sanctuary Never had a bad experience with this cast, this year was no different. Whether it was at the Leo Awards, the airport or a charity event, each member of the cast was exceptional.      15 - Cast of The Secret Circle This cast could have made the top 10, if it werent for 1 exceptionally bitter & sour life hating senior cast member of the show. That exception aside...the rest of the cast has been terrific with us. 14- Matt Barr & Aly Michalka I miss Hellcats. Not just because of the campy cheerleader drama storylines. But because 2 of the nicer celebs we have had in Vancouver in a long time left when the show did. While some other cast members were a lot less thrilled to interact with fans during the shows 1 year run, Matt & Aly were as accomodating & friendly as you can expect. Class acts. 13- Cast Of Supernatural Much like Ms. Torv from Fringe, the cast of Supernatural, whether its Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Misha Collins, Jim Beaver or the recurring characters of the show have been quite good to us Vancouverites when we run into them. Long as the regulars respect the no asking them on set policy, they are more than receptive to signing and chatting with us away from set when we see them. 12 - Leo Awards This years award ceremony for BC film industry was not as spectacular as past ones I had hounded. Much of that was because of an unexpected change of venue & the loss of 1 or 2 shows since last year. Still, a list of names came out that made the effort worthwhile. 11 - Amy Adams I had heard that Ms. Adams was a very willing signer, but till I saw it for myself, I didnt understand just how good she was. She willingly signed for everyone till there was nothing left out there to sign. She did it too with a smile. Wish all movie stars could have that level of appreciation.      10 - Booboo Stewart, Myanna Buring, Julia Jones, Guri Weinberg This past year, the final installment of the Twilight Saga series, Breaking Dawn 1 & 2 was filmed here. In the years prior, some of the bigger names in the film were at times, pretty decent signers. This year however, there was VERY FEW great interactions with the cast. The names above were the very few I can say were outstanding. Considering how massive the cast was, its sad you can count the great experiences on 1 hand. Not to say ALL the others were terrible, but that they didnt neccesarily stand out as great. 9- Cast Of Fringe The cast of the hit FOX show Fringe is generally friendly (the occasional grumpy Mr. Noble encounter not withstanding) the true star from a fan interaction aspect is usually Anna Torv in past years. Despite seeing the regulars probably 100+ times combined over the shows run here, she still willingly signs for us, even at the absurd time of 5:30 AM. This season, Seth Gabel became a regular and skyrocketed up along side his Fringe co-star for terrific interactions. Joshua Jackson, Jasika Nicole & others are terrific as well. 8 - John Schneider Although from an excitement standpoint, getting Mr. Schneider wasnt overly high for me (I was a Dukes of Hazzard fan..but not a massive fan), it was how wonderfully personable he was each & every time that won me over. My 1st interaction with him was 1 of the rare "I wasnt expecting that" situations where we were at the airport for persons unrelated, and saw a sign for him there. Knowing he was coming in for an episode eventually, we waited to see if it was him, it was. He happily signed then. Seeing him 2 more times after, he was just as gracious each time after, even at the Smallville wrap party, where some of the bigger stars were nothing short of rude, Mr. Schneider was 1 of the ones that made the fans waiting out there happy. 7 - Cast Of Once Upon A Time Usually when new TV shows roll into town, odds are someone on the cast thinks more of themselves than they actually are. Not so with the cast of the new ABC fantasy drama Once Upon A Time. Each & every cast member I have met has been terrific with interacting with the fans & the pros. It was the overall attitude of this cast that made me hope for it to do well...I'm glad it is succeeding, this cast deserves it. 6- Sharlto Copley The District 9 star is simply, awesome. How awesome is he with fans? After a flight that was the better part of a day, he stopped, chatted with fans at the airport, did photos with, and even cracked a few jokes. So awesome he did an autograph session for a local African import store "African Breese Imports" just because they asked...and at the autograph session, he had no qualms signing stacks for fans, collectors or dealers alike. One guy plopped down 30 or so photos, Sharlto went thru the entire stack, not once groaning about doing it and thanked the guy for coming afterwards.      5- Callum Blue
Being a huge Dead Like Me fan, I still get a bit excited when I meet any of the cast. This past year, I had a 4th (or 5th?) chance to meet Callum Blue. He was in town reprising his Smallville role as Zod. What made this meeting stand out more than others prior though was how it went down. I first learned he was going to be coming back..I then contacted him thru a site I knew he was a member of that I too was a member of. He replied back with when he was coming. I then tried, several times, but without success, to cross paths with him naturally. So I gave him another message & he told me what day he would be off. So I tried that day, called his room & he answered & came right down. In the pouring rain, he stood, signed, and chatted with my friend & I for several minutes. 4- Chloe Moretz At 2010 TIFF I had Ms. Moretz high on my list of people to get...but she cancelled. This year however, Hit Girl was there, and made up for the year long wait. One of the best signers at TIFF. Even with volunteers telling her she had to go, she still kept signing. 3- TIFF - The 2011 Toronto International Film Festival Individually, several of the events from Tiff could make this list, and a couple I did list individually. But for the mostpart, the entire event of the Toronto International Film Festival falls under 1 event for me. So thus, why it is going here. This years fest was certainly my most successful from a star power aspect, and total wise, it was close to my best. Stars like George Clooney, Megan Fox, Madonna, Nicolas Cage & Ryan Gosling made the event quite successful for me. It was the newer names I wasnt as faimiliar with before going that made some of the more cool moments though, like Chris Pratt, Ezra Miller, Dominic Monaghan and Sarah Bolger who all made me fans of them with the way they handled their attention. 2 - Tom Cruise While I did get a disappointingly low total of 2 autographs from someone I was told "signs everything", a lot of that wasnt any fault of his or really mine either. It was just dumb luck. Still, I managed to get 2 from him, which was still 2 more than most hounds in Vancouver got from him. The 1 and only night outside the trade & convention center unfortunately turned out to be the 1 and only chance Vancouverites got to get the Mission Impossible star. He made the waiting worth it though, as Mr. Cruise strolled over to a crowd of 20-30 people (which swelled to 75-100 when extras & crew came over too) around midnight & did a 20-30 minute meet & greet with fans, taking photos & signing autographs. Each interaction he made feel special, he asked fans to make sure their photos turned out and even acknowledged autograph requests with a level of respect, and not just a "ugh, fine" mentality to it. 1- Madonna No disrespect to Mr. Cruise, but at the end of the day, a rare, hard to obtain signature is a bigger deal on average than a classy, easier to obtain star. Anytime you get someone of Madonna's level of fame, its probably going to make your best list. The Material Girl has been known for quite awhile as, at best, an unwilling signer. However, when you are promoting a movie you directed & has been panned by many critics, you are on your best behaviour. That is what fans in Toronto got when the pop icon was there to promote W.E. this past Summer for TIFF. Madonna signed probably 75-100 autographs on the red carpet, and signed at dinner a bit later after her event as well. Some honorable mentions should go out to the likes of Patrick Gilmore, Rose McGowan, Daniel & Henrik Sedin, Ben Cotton & Lyndsy Fonseca. So, that concludes 2011. Some amazing successes for me. Granted, there was some downright failures as well. I somehow never got Matt Damon despite him being here for 2-3 months. All my Saoirse Ronan autographs were ruined by an ugly fading silver sharpie. I missed Robert DeNiro AGAIN by mere inches, and same with Brad Pitt this time. Who will grace the list at the end of 2012? Going into 2011, there wasnt a lot of "sure things" I could see making the list. To be honest, most of the list is a complete surprise, simply because I didnt know going into 2011 these people would cross my paths. If you DO NOT want any spoilers of the show.... DO NOT READ ON OR VIEW THE PHOTOS! I have not seen 1 single second of filming for the ABC smash hit "Once Upon A Time" since they filmed scenes for the pilot in downtown Vancouver more than 7 months ago. http://canadagraphs.weebly.com/1/post/2011/03/jennifer-morrison-filming-scenes-for-abc-tv-pilot-once-upon-a-time.html At that time it was an unproven pilot & most people didnt think much of it in the local celebrity spotting circles. Now, it has become a massive hit for ABC & looks headed to a 2nd season barring some type of curse by the Evil Queen. Since then, finding the fairy tale based show has been nearly impossible because they dont need the downtown core for their show & I rarely venture past the dt area to find filming. The show is set in a small town in Maine. The show is filmed in smaller cities around the area like North Vancouver, Ft. Langley & Steveston, a small tourist nook at the far southwest corner of Richmond. Mostly known for its fishing industry, Steveston is very welcoming of the film industry & is used often by productions, and this year its primary tennants have been the cast & crew of Once Upon A Time. So earlier this week a friend & I went out there determined to see something. We got a late start on Monday & got out there a little late to catch scenes out on the beach, as we showed up, I went out there to see where they were filming only to find the set being torn down & Jennifer Morrison & Jared Gilmore strolling by me back to the trailers. It was exceptionally windy on this day & the cast & crew alike were doing all they could to stay warm, and so were we. We looked around & found their next location shortly after. It was in a private dock area and luckily, had a small area right where the scene was being shot to shoot pics of them filming it thru a fence about 200 feet away. The scenes included Jennifer Morrison's character Emma Swan showing up in a Sheriffs car to interact with Jared Gilmore's character Henry. I find it interesting that Ms. Swan is driving the Sheriff car. In the last episode we see her get hired as a deputy, now driving the sheriffs car?? The scene itself I Later on scenes were done with them & another man who my friend originally thought was Jamie Dornan, the sherriff. I have looked at those photos (sorry, didnt have them in time to edit for this blog...maybe later on?) since then & am not too sure, will have to watch a few scenes with him over again to be 100%, but my first look at them on a big screen has me uncertain. Below is a few photos from that scene.                       The other night I caught a scene being shot for a new TV Pilot for ABC called "Once Upon A Time". The series stars Jennifer Morrison ("House", "How I Met Your Mother" & "Bringing Ashley Home"), Ginnifer Goodwin ("Big Love" & "Walk The Line"), Robert Carlyle ("Stargate Universe" & "Trainspotting" ), Lana Parilla ("24", "Boomtown", "Spin City"), Josh Dallas ("Thor" & "The Descent 2") & Raphael Sbarge ("The Guardian" & "prison Break"). The show is based on the premised that all the fairy tales you have heard of, actually are real. On this particular day I caught Jennifer Morrison portraying her character "Anna" driving around with a young boy who I only heard the name "Kevin" for.( Not sure anymore details of who it is, anyone with a good knowledge of local young actors...feel free to let me know & I will revise this...UPDATE - It is Jared Gilmore). The scene takes place in Massachusets. Earlier in the day I was at another location for them, but was uunable to see what the scene was since it was covered with large black screens...but it entailed "Anna" being in a high end restaurant with dozens of well dressed extras. So thats the 1st report from the new ABC TV Pilot "Once Upon A Time".                      |
