In Twilight the movie, what are some secrets?
For example, when I saw the movie, my friend said that Stephenie Meyer (the author of Twilight) was one of the background people at the diner, where Bella and Charlie eat. It turns out, there she was!! On her laptop, taking a cup of something from the woman at the counter (watch for it next time you see Twilight!)! I was just wondering if there are any other secrets that they have? Such as, how did they… make Edward’s eyes change color for example? Just anything about Twilight. Thanks!! :]
* Kristen Stewart has naturally green eyes. She wears brown contacts for filming to match Bella’s eye color.
* Kellan Lutz intended on keeping his natural curly hair for the role of Emmett Cullen. However, his previous role in “Generation Kill” (2008) required a buzz cut and his hair didn’t grow fast enough for the filming of Twilight (2008/I).
* Henry Cavill was Stephenie Meyer’s first choice to play Edward. However, but by the time production was to begin, he was 25 years old, and no longer looked the part of a 17-year old. He was then offered the part of Carlisle Cullen but turned it down due to his commitment with “The Tudors” (2007).
* For the role of Edward Cullen, Robert Pattinson flew from England to director Catherine Hardwicke’s house to audition. There, he and Kristen Stewart, who was already cast as Bella Swan, rehearsed the “Love Scene”/”Meadow Scene” on Hardwicke’s own bed.
* All of the actors playing the Cullens wear topaz-colored contacts.
* Taylor Lautner had to wear a wig for his role as Jacob Black.
* Over 5,000 actors auditioned for the role of Edward.
* According to a July interview between network.nationalpost.com and director Catherine Hardwicke, Kristen Stewart was recommended for the role of Bella Swan by Emile Hirsch, her co-star from Into the Wild (2007) and whom Hardwicke directed in Lords of Dogtown (2005).
* The script was finished in 6 weeks.
* Robert Pattinson stated in an interview that this is his first American role and he had no formal training to perfect his American accent.
* Henry Cavill was offered the part of Edward Cullen due to the fan base he had of him playing Edward. He decline the offer, and was later offered the role of Carlisle Cullen but declined that role as well.
* When the ‘evil vampires’ make their first appearance, actors Cam Gigandet, Rachelle Lefevre and Edi Gathegi are all wearing little slippers painted like bare feet.
* Jessica in the movie is a combination of the characters Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory from the book.
* Eric in the movie is a combination of the characters Eric Yorkie and Ben Cheney from the book.
* Kristen Stewart wore hair pieces so they didn’t have to waste time doing her hair, and therefore had more time to shoot.
* Kristen Stewart turned eighteen while filming the movie and was rewarded with a birthday cake – and a full night of shooting.
* The actors who played vampires needed to be pale, so it was written into their contracts that they had to stay out of the sun.
* Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale) and Jackson Rathbone (Jasper Whitlock) learned how to play baseball left-handed for the famous baseball scene.
* Stephenie Meyer claims these authors partially inspired her: Jane Austen, Orson Scott Card, Shakespeare, and Charlotte Bronte
* Christian Serratos wore her own glasses for her part as Angela Weber.
* When Bella is searching the internet and finds the link for the bookstore in Port Angeles, the link above it is for Little Brown. Little Brown is the publisher of the Twilight Saga.
* Before casting, Robert Pattinson had never heard of the Twilight novel. He only attended casting because he liked Kristen Stewart’s performance in Into the Wild (2007).
* MTV Films & Maverick Films were the original owners of the rights to produce the film. Paramount was set as the distributor. Eventually MTV Films wasn’t able to get a script they felt was good enough for the film and Summit Entertainment ended up getting the rights and actually producing and distributing the film.
* Cameo: [Stephenie Meyer] The author of the original books can be seen next to a laptop ordering a vegetarian sandwich in the diner at the beginning of the scene where Charlie asks Bella if she likes the boys in town.
* With a $70.6 mil debut gross, the movie had the top debut ever for a film directed by one woman (as of 2008).
* At the cafeteria salad bar, Bella drops an apple which Edward picks back up and then cradles in his hands, copying the cover image of the Twilight novel.
* Stephenie Meyer cited the band Muse as her source of inspiration to write her books. Another of her favorite groups is Linkin Park, who contributed a song in the soundtrack.
* Kristen Stewart’s stunt double, Katie Powers, also plays a waitress at the diner.
* During the filming of the prom scene, Kristen Stewart didn’t like the songs playing so suggested ‘Flightless Bird, American Mouth’ by Iron & Wine which they decided to use.
* In almost every scene involving a television, the ending ballet studio scene is being played.
* Robert Pattinson performed two songs in the movie, however only one of these songs, “Never Think,” appears on the soundtrack
* At a midnight screening in Texarkana, Texas, Nov. 27, 2008, a gentleman dropped to his knee with a ring as the credits rolle
