Jon
Bon Jovi attracted
the attention of the villagers during the first day of filming of 'Vampires: Los
Muertos' in Acapulco,Mexico.
In
the first day of filming of Vampires: The Deads, of which is main character, Jon
Bon Jovi captured
the looks of more
than 150 villagers
that expected
any movement that the American star made.
The
leader of the band that takes his name was identifiable for his half riotous
blond hair, his inseparable boots colour honey, a mixture pant that gave the
impression of having been used during a lot of time, a sneaker and a black
jacket (?) with his name embroidery in red letters in the front part.
In
spite of the fact that in several occasions he repeated the filming of some
scenes and that the semblance was serious, the artist was shown friendly and
smiling with his admirers, especially when some was brought near to request an
autograph, he even allowed them to take pictures
with him.
"I
like Mexico a lot, it’s
exciting to be here, I feel very well in this place", Jon said when a girl
admitted she admired him. The rocker even huged
his fan when posed
for the picture of the memory.
The
first day as hunter of vampires
Last
Monday, with a cold, cloudy climate and some wind, Jon began with its mission of
exterminating the vampires during the filming of Vampires: The Deads that took
place in a small square in front of the main church of the
town whose number of inhabitants don't overcome the 15 thousand.
According
to members of the production, the part of the script that is shooting in the
moment coincides with the beginning of the history, when the Mexican actor's
Diego Luna character lives inexplicable situations and he requests Jon for helps
him, because apparently he is an expert in the eradication
of vampires.
Since
this it is the first time that Acapulco
welcomes to a film production, the filming lapsed in the face of the admiration
of the inhabitants who didn't give credit when seeing the rocker neither so much
people gathered with
cameras, lamps, handbags, notebooks, slates and a long boom, with
other elements that the staff use.
The
security that surrounded filming was not too strict, probably because nobody of
the production imagined that they would be identified
by the onlookers.

Federal
District, Mexico- The singer Jon Bon Jovi continues with the shooting of the
Vampires: The Deads in the City of Mexico, to the streets of the Coyoacin colony
from Tuesday night. The author of Bed of Roses arrived at the streets of the
colony and interrupted the dream of the inhabitants of the condominium President
Miguel German, because the corridors and windows were filled with people that
loved to see him and to dream about the film. Two adolescents- age 12 and 14,
ventured to request him, in English, for a photo, the bodyguard denied but Bon
Jovi, who was near the young people allowed the step and fulfilled the dream of
Thalia Arevalo and Daniela Dominique. "I cannot believe it, I took the
photo with Bon Jovi, he is handsome, he has incredible eyes", Thalia said
while jumped and shouted.
