Behind the Scenes Photos from Heroes Location Shoot
My good friend, The ODI, gave me a heads up on some exclusive location photos of the Heroes cast and crew. One of his friends,Wendy, was kind enough to share some photos and a quick set report with him and he, in turn, shared the with us. Here’s what Wendy had to say:
They were filming a jungle scene with Nathan, Peter, the Hatian…. and other guys that looked like they were from Haiti. My friends got to meet Milo before I got there
I didn’t get to meet him, but hear he was really cool and friendly. I DID get to see Nathan and the Hatian guys. They were letting a few random people in to see the set, we tried but didn’t get in.

Shooting was rumored to be for an episode to air December 1st, which would make it episode 11, The Eclipse Part 2. Peter, Nathan and The Haitian were all reported to be on set, though in these photos, no one looks like The Haitian to me. I’m not sure who the man in camo is but I’m trying to find out. Please post a comment and let us know if you have any ideas!
By the way, I did some Googling of the word “Rubelia” shown in one of the photos and found this (along with an identical photo) at Wikipedia:
Rubel Castle (also known as Rubelia) was established in Glendora, California, by Michael Clarke Rubel (April 16, 1940-October 15, 2007). It has been called "a San Gabriel Valley version of Watts Towers.”
Rubel purchased a 2 ½ acre citrus orchard on which the structure resides in 1959. He and his friends completed construction in 1986. Rubelia is considered the first major recycling project in the United States, according to David Traversi, who authored One Man’s Dream: The Spirit of the Rubel Castle.
Rubel Castle was constructed partly out of concrete, but also out of scrap steel, rocks, bedsprings, coat hangers, bottles and other pieces of junk that Rubel found.
I guess that’s where this filming took place!

I think you are right, Debbie, this does look like the same place that Flickr pic was taken.

Yes, they were definitely filming something there for the last few days. I happen to live around the corner.

Whoever posted as “Scott Rubel” on 9/19/08 at 3:29am is not Scott Rubel. I am Scott Rubel and I was not awake at 3:39am. I hope that post can be removed.

[...] Nathan, Peter and The Haitian in what looks to be Haiti. I’m sure those go right along with those photos we posted back in September, which were supposed to be from episode 11, "The Eclipse." Thanks [...]
