More Security for ‘Camp Rock 2′ Filming

“You know what just completed my life? The Jonas brothers talked to me!” said Kirsi Parnoja after stepping off the bus that came from Camp Kilcoo, where the famous Walt Disney stars were shooting a Camp Rock sequel.

Kirsi is one of the many high school students who were hired as extras for the sequel that was shot at various Haliburton and Minden camps back in 2007. All last week they were filming at a closely guarded Camp Kilcoo. Filming for the movie began at the beginning of September of this year and will go till October 16. Unfortunately last week was the only time they’ll spend filming in Haliburton.

The new movie will include Demi Lovato, Meaghan Jette Martin, Maria Canals-Barrera, Alyson Stoner and Daniel?Fathers as well as teen singing sensations, the Jonas Brothers.

The expected name for the sequel is not yet determined due to a legal dispute on the movie, so it will either be called Coinflip or Camp Rock 2: The Final Jam.

The story begins when Lovato and the Jonas brothers – Nick, Joe and Kevin – all return to Camp Rock only to find that some of the instructors and students have ditched Camp Rock for the rival camp across the lake, Camp Star. Newcomer Matthew “Mdot” Finley plays the dominant hotshot singer at Camp Star who challenges Camp Rock to a musical showdown.

But there is also another twist in the movie. Taking on a similar plot from Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, Nate (Nick) falls for Dana (newcomer Chloe Bridges, an accomplished 17-year-old classical pianist), who is the daughter of Camp Star’s owner.

When students were asked how they felt about being in the movie, there was no negative answer.

“It was a good experience because you got to see how movies are filmed and how that type of industry works,” Andrea Salvatori said. “It’s cool to be part of something that’s that big.”

Along with the new actors and story plot another thing noticed by returning extras and locals was the security.

At the Pinestone Resort in Haliburton you could see well-built men with t-shirts that read “security” riding golf carts around the property.

“You could obviously tell [the Jonas Brothers] were there,” said a student. “You’d have to be pretty dim to not know it.”

If that didn’t tip you off, not being able to eat in at the hotel’s dining room because the Jonas Brothers were eating at the bar that night would be.

“We just went to get some dessert and we were asked if we were guests at the hotel. We said no and they told us we couldn’t eat here. A security guard came outside and watched us, making sure we got into the car and left,” Ariah Boots, a local student, said. “Last time they were here, they were never like this. I worked at the Pinestone when they came the first time. Things were a lot more relaxed.”

Even at Camp Kilcoo security was increased. Student extras were not to bring cameras and cellphones and whoever did was given a piece of tape with a number to put on their electronic device. Then they were all put into a bin and visitors were allowed to collect them at the end of the day. By Friday, security was nowhere to be seen.

But the strict rules and high security couldn’t put a damper on the fact the Jonas Brothers were in Haliburton and people got to be in a film with them.

“Because I’m a fan, it was awesome,” Parnoja said.

“But honestly they were just like normal kids walking around the set. It didn’t feel like they were the Jonas Brothers. They didn’t act live divas at all.”

Hopefully the sequel will be just as successful as its original then maybe there will be a third movie and another chance for the stars to return to the Highlands.

WHY would they name it coinflip?That would confuse people thinking its a completely different movie
angel, on September 29th, 2009 at 10:50 am Said:

it’ll be interesting to see where the plot of this movie goes, and which main characters will be the top focus. it seems like nick could be the one with the big romance this time.
Charlotte, on September 29th, 2009 at 10:53 am Said:

Coinflip? No. Just no.

Katie C., on September 29th, 2009 at 1:23 pm Said:

I have the chance to go up and be an extra thanks to that site Demi and the boys tweeted yesterday, but the only thing holding me back is the fact that I don’t have a passport. Why did they have to enforce that dumb law just this year? haha

Ugh. I was so close.

Kelly, on September 29th, 2009 at 2:06 pm Said:

I’m starting to believe the rumors of Kevin only working 4 or 5 days on this movie are true :(
PAT, on September 29th, 2009 at 2:30 pm Said:

KELLY-

Yeah…oh boooo! Equal time my butt…
zozogirl, on September 29th, 2009 at 2:33 pm Said:

But guys you gotta admit disney is tryin their best to even get FRANKIE some time on screen so disney is tryin to get all brothers some screen time wheather its 2 seconds 7 minutes or 3hours
Kirsten, on September 29th, 2009 at 2:33 pm Said:

Where the heck did they get Coinflip from????? It’s the sequel of Camp Rock, so it should be Camp Rock 2. End of story!!! It’s like HSM, and HSM 2 and 3.
Kelly, on September 29th, 2009 at 2:39 pm Said:

Zozogirl, no matter how much I love the little guy, Frankie isn’t THE Jonas Brothers as the group formed years ago(heck, even he says he just wants his own band). Kevin has been and I was looking foward to more Jasonisms in this one.

That said, this is kinda backing up a theory I have been running in my head about what Kevin and Dani have been doing most of this month(no, I dont mean they eloped), but I dont want to pull a Liz and get in trouble(no, I am not dissing Liz about what happened in July. I miss her a lot). I will just have to wait and see if some news on them is similar to what I have been thinking
zozogirl, on September 29th, 2009 at 2:43 pm Said:

Kelly-I feel Frankie will be in the abnd anyways haha I mean like what he taking over THEIR show ahah but true we all need some jason but right now we should just deal with kevin lucas(thats always odd to say)
Kelly, on September 29th, 2009 at 2:49 pm Said:

Did Kevin already do his voiceover work for the WW museum project or was that going to happen during this break?
zozogirl, on September 29th, 2009 at 2:52 pm Said:

i have no idea but fun fact its on his imdb page haha http://www.imdb.com/name/nm2650334/
Kelly, on September 29th, 2009 at 2:57 pm Said:

WT-? Why is that Farting Dog thing still listed for a project under their names? I thought that was a dead stick now
zozogirl, on September 29th, 2009 at 3:00 pm Said:

I have no idea.
PAT, on September 29th, 2009 at 3:01 pm Said:

KELLY-

That’s what I said when I saw that..

This is why I never use IMDB…
Courtney h., on September 29th, 2009 at 3:04 pm Said:

Im sure they are tight on security because the Jonas Brothers are way Bigger than they were in 2007!!I wouldn’t be surprised!!..lol :)
kay, on September 29th, 2009 at 3:09 pm Said:

i think the whole coinflip things is wrong… but i kind of wish Nick and Kevin with got the same amount of screen time as last time or equal. I wasn’t too angry about the focus of the movie on Joe last time. It made more sense, and this is a Camp Rock movie not a Jonas Brothers movie so there’s no rule that all three of them need equal time. It would be awesome to have kevin have more screen time, but i’m not too bothered by it & honestly i doubt he is either. It’s a DCOM not a major motion picture & i’m sure he is still having fun.
m?, on September 29th, 2009 at 3:48 pm Said:

i don’t think they would call it coinflip. that doesn’t make any sense.
bk, on September 29th, 2009 at 4:22 pm Said:

I don’t think anyone will know the real story of the plot and what is going on until Disney is ready (or it’s farther along). Right now, everyone wants to feel like they have the scoop.

I still feel like Coinflip is the name being used in production. And the legal dispute is over The Final Jam part. I can’t imagine Disney not keeping the Camp Rock 2: something as the name.

The difference in security isn’t just for JB. The whole project is much more visible than when the original was filmed. I’m sure the hotel isn’t letting a bunch of strangers come and eat because the whole cast is there, not just because of JB. Can you imagine the number of people that suddenly are deciding they’ve always wanted to eat at the restaurant and wander the hotel?

It’s always easy to blame JB but the report in the story was that JB wasn’t acting live divas, they were like normal kids on the set.

Even the amount of time spent filming means nothing until we see the edited version.

^–I’m sorry…but I find that sentence quite amusing. Grown security men running around in small golf carts…HAHAHAHA! XD
dj_trixie, on October 1st, 2009 at 11:11 am Said:

They said they’d be calling it a different name in the article dudes.
It’s cause of legal issues with the new director and writer.
yea..coinflip is a lame name but they probably are trying to whitty cause its “coinflip” of a desicion for Nick…like his camp or the girl. heads or tails

also…the Echo like the newspaper is the providor but who actually wrote the article?
i think we should include the persons name cause they probably had to do some serious stuff to get some of this info
cause the security and all…..

so yea…who DID write the article??
