IMDB Twilight Trivia

Check out IMDB's Twilight Trivia here.

  • Kristen Stewart has naturally green eyes. She wears brown contacts for filming because Bella is supposed to have brown eyes.
  • Kellan Lutz intended on keeping his natural curly hair for the role of Emmett Cullen. However, his previous role in _"Generation Kill" (2008) (mini)_ required a buzz cut and his hair didn't grow fast enough for the filming of Twilight.
  • Henry Cavill was Stephenie Meyer's first choice to play Edward, but by the time the film came to be, 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'
  • 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 with 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.

EW interview with Rob

EntertainmentWeekly, issue Sept 8-14 has a new interview with Elizabeth Reeser (Esme).
Thanks Twilighters.org

"The last time we saw Elizabeth Reaser she was having a nervous breakdown on Grey’s Anatomy, which had been preceeded by a disfiguring accident, a bout of amnesia, facial reconstruction and, finally, a love affair gone awry. This season, she’s left behind the Debbie Downer role to star in her own series, The Ex List, as a woman who’s told by a psychic that if she doesn’t marry in a year, she never will. Reaser gives us the lowdown.

Your character, Bella, is in a race to the altar. Do you have a matrimonial timetable?
My older sister is married and that took a lot of pressure off me. She had the greatest wedding of all time, the three most beautiful children of all time and her husband is the greatest brother in law you could ask for. So I’m covered; I can go be a crazy actress diva.
Your role on Grey’s Anatomy was pretty heavy. Is it fun to finally lighten up?
[nods] Because I’m always being tragic, anything where they’re making a buffoon out of me, I love. The more buffoonery, the better!
Your character in The Ex List is told she’s already met her intended, so she starts looking up her old lovers. Have you ever done that?
I have, yeah, and they rejected me. So I have plenty to draw on. I remember my first breakup. I was 14 and devastated. And it doesn’t get any better. The only difference is that when you’re 14, you think you’re never going to get over it.
Does Bella have a type?
I think they’re all over the place. That’s what’s cool about Bella. She has no type. In Mythological Ex, the Israeli series this is based on, there’s even a woman, and it’s a totally hot story line. I went to drama school, so there was a lot of that. Girls experiment all the time.
What actors are on your wish list for playing some of the exes?
I don’t think he’s available, but I’d love to work with Justin Chambers again. [Laughs] And I hear Patrick Dempsey is really hard up for work these days, so if he wants to call me, we can talk about it!
Your character spends a lot of time half-dressed. Did you have to work out a lot to get that amazing body?
I’ve always been active and athletic, but, yeah, I had to step up the yoga, Pilates, and swimming. When I found out that I was going to be in bikinis, I pumped it up. It definitely keeps you mindful of what you put in your mouth!"
