Twilight DVD Release Party

Twilight Movie Fun Facts:

1. 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.

2. Actress Nikki Reed was the one who got the producers to add Robert Pattinson’s songs to the film. Reed secretly started recording him from her laptop, while he was singing, and playing his guitar.

She then took it to the film producers, were they fell in love with his songs. The next day, they asked Rob if he could sing a few of his songs for the soundtrack, and he accepted.

3. The song playing on the background when Bella comes to "have dinner" at the Cullen's is the aria "Libiamo" from La Traviata. "Libiamo" literally means "Let's Drink,” which is exactly what the Cullens do when they "have dinner.”

4. 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.

5. Author Stephenie Meyer 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.

6. In almost every scene involving a television, the ending ballet studio scene is being played.

7. 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.

8. 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.”

9. 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 that is "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.

10. Nikki Reed (Rosalie Hale) and Jackson Rathbone (Jasper Hale) learned how to play baseball left-handed for the famous baseball scene.


Twilight Movie Mistakes and Bloopers:

1. In the cafeteria, when Bella drops the apple and Edward catches it, he has visible pit stains. It should be impossible for him to have these stains because vampires don't sweat.

2. In the scene where Edward and Bella are lying in the grass, you can see Edward's carotid pulsating. This goes against the 'Twilight' books, which state that vampires do have hearts, but they don't beat.

3. Throughout the film, various vampire's faces are paled out with makeup, but not their ears and necks. In one of the cafeteria scenes, Robert Pattinson's ears are extremely red, which goes against the idea that vampires shouldn't have any color in their faces or bodies.

4. Throughout the movie you can see the vampires' breath. In the book, Edward states they can breathe because it enhances their ability to smell and helps them blend in as "normal," but you would not be able to physically see their breath because they have no actual body warmth.
