Twilight Movie Trivia

Weeks after the wide release of the movie, Twilight. Fans still can't get enough of this great movie. I've seen it in the theaters and have also been able to watch Twilight online. And I'm really excited to see the movie sequel, New Moon.

Anyway, to keep the Twilight fever running, I've searched the internet for some Twilight Movie trivia and here are those that I've found:

In the books, Edwards is described as being Bella's "Vampire Angel". In the scenes shot in the science lab, Edward is sitting with his shoulders hunched and behind him there is a stuffed white owl. In some shots you can't see the body of the owl and it appears that Edward has white wings. Not sure if that was deliberate or not, but I found it very interesting.

When Bella is in the hospital at the end of the movie, the television in her room is showing the fire at the ballet studio. In that scene, the television also shows Taylor Lautner (Jacob), sitting and talking with Kristen Stewart (Bella). It is probably a clip from an interview.

When Jacob and his friends meet with Bella and her pals at the beach, they talk about the Cullens, and one of Jacob's friends says, 'The Cullens don't come here.' That person is Sam Uley, the future leader of the werewolf tribe of which Jacob is a member.

When Bella is looking up the Quileute mythology book she finds a listing for a bookstore in Port Angeles. Under this tab there is a list of other places to get the book, like Amazon.com, including "Little Brown" which is the publishing company for the "Twilight" series.

When Bella is invited to the Cullen's house for the first time, she and Edward head for the stairway. Against the wall is a cross lying at an angle. Though they do not discuss it in the film, in the book Edward explains to Bella the history of the cross and how Carlisle acquired it. It's clear that vampires do not fear crosses.

Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight series, got the idea for Twilight from a dream she had back in 2003. She dreamt of a girl and a boy sitting in a meadow, talking about their impossible love for each other. The girl was just a normal, human girl. The guy was outrageously beautiful, sparkly, and obviously a vampire. It is because of this single dream that A) The Twilight series came to be and B) Meyer's vampires sparkle in the sunlight.

Actor Rob Pattinson is very musically talented. On top of writing and performing two songs for the film's soundtrack, his performance in the "Bella's Lullaby" scene includes him actually playing the piano. This is according to the Illustrated Movie Guide.

In the hospital scene, when Bella wakes up and is talking to Renee, you can see the flashback that plays while Edward is trying to suck the venom out, on the TV behind Renee.

Bella drops the apple in the cafeteria when she gives her theories on what Edward is. When he catches the apple, after he bounces the apple back up from his foot, the way that his hand catches the apple is the cover of the book.

In one scene of the film, when Bella and Charlie are eating at the diner, there is a dark-haired woman in a red sweater sitting at the counter with a laptop, being served her meal by the waitress. The woman being served is the author of the Twilight series, Stephenie Meyer.

At the end of the movie when Bella is sitting on the bench prior to prom, Jacob offers to help her since her foot is in a cast. Edward says to Bella "I leave you alone for one second and the wolves descend." This is a veiled reference to the fact that Jacob is indeed a wolf, which you find out in the second book "New Moon".

When Mike and the rest of the boys at Forks High School are trying to get Bella's attention in the lunch room, Jessica remarks that Bella is like "a shiny new toy." This is a direct line from the first chapter of Midnight Sun, a book "in the works" by Stephenie Meyer. Midnight Sun is Twilight told from Edward's perspective. The first chapter and rough draft that leaked over the Internet are posted on Stephenie Meyer's website.
