Was Twilight Filmed In Forks? Unveiling The Vampire Sagas Real Filming Location

Did any of the filming for Twilight take place in Forks? Interestingly, although the movie’s storyline is set in the famously cloudy town of Forks, Washington, none of the actual filming occurred there. Instead, many of the iconic scenes from Twilight were captured in the picturesque locations of Vernonia and Portland, Oregon. This decision to film in Oregon rather than Forks allowed the production team to find the right atmosphere and settings to bring the story to life.

“Why was Twilight not filmed in Forks?” is a question frequently posed to us, both through our email inquiries and during the Twilight Conventions. To provide a comprehensive answer, it’s crucial to consider several factors. One significant reason behind this decision is Forks’ remote and small-town nature. While the town’s picturesque scenery aligns with the story’s setting, it lacked the necessary infrastructure and support services required to accommodate an entire film crew for an extended period, spanning several months. This logistical challenge made it more practical to select alternative filming locations.
