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.
• The Cullen family had to learn how to bat left handed in the baseball scene.

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!"

"He loves her, but if he gets too passionate, he will want her blood. He will want to kill her.""

Twilight Boys in Cosmo Girl

This month's issue of Cosmo Girl is something to sink your teeth into. Robert Pattinson, Kellan Lutz and Taylor Lautner are all featured. Here is an excert found on Lion_Lamb's LJ.

Put away the garlic and holy water. These wicked-hot guys may play vampires, but we promise they won't bite.

It's 5 p.m and Taylor Lautner is the first to arrive at the Venice, California studio for our CosmoGirl shoot. A few minutes later, his Twilight costar Kellan Lutz walks in. The guys high-five and joke about how Robert Pattinson - their other costar - is always late. By 6:30, I'm getting a little impatient because we're still waiting for our lead vampire. Finally, Robert tiptoes in, sleepy-eyed and full of apologies, "Sorry, I overslept," he explains in his sexy British accent.

He's so charming that my aggravation immediately vanishes. I totally see why Kristen Stewart's character, Bella, would want to spend an eternity with this guy, vampire or not. As the three actors change into jeans and white shirts, every girl on set finds an excuse to sneak into the dressing room, hoping to get a peek. Then - as if on cue, just around twilight - Rob, Kellan and Taylor emerge. Check out what we chatted about during the shoot.

Q: So how would you describe your three characters?

Rob: [My character] Edward is the conflicted and reluctant vampire. He's a poet, and very deep and profound. He's just extraordinarily troubled.


Kellan: Emmett's the tough guy, the protector, but he's a big old teddy bear to his little brother. He's a goofball, but when he snaps, he's menacing and there's no stopping him.

Taylor: Well, in the first film, Jacob is a normal high school guy - outgoing, friendly, and loyal. I'm a lot like him in Twilight, but I'm excited to play him in the sequels as his character evolves.

Q: Are you at all similar to your characters?

Kellan: Rob is definitely Edward. He's so complicated, so poetic... I mean, you cannot help but like this guy! I'd say I'm definitely the protector type. I have six brothers and one sister, and I got beaten up a lot because I was in the middle. But then I learned to defend myself.

Rob: Yeah, Kellan protects me all the time. It's like having a globe around me. Really, he's like a globe of protection!

Q: Twilight isn't just a "vampire movie", it's a love story. Do you guys like romantic films?

Taylor: I really liked Enchanted. In fact, I've seen it five or six times.

Kellan: I like The Notebook, Tristan & Isolde, and Romeo + Juliet. [I enjoy] period pieces that aren't just about winning the girl but are also about the struggle of class, wealth and privilege.

Q: What about horror movies?

Taylor: My friends just introduced me to how great they can be. I really liked The Hitcher, and Gothika gave me nightmares.

Rob: I don't like that "hiding behind doors" element when suddenly it's like "Boo!" I like the more eerie and disturbing horror flicks. One of my favorites is The Exorcist.

Kellan: I love scary movies. I think the pure gore movies are pretty funny. It doesn't bother me to see someone get their head chopped off.

Q: Twilight's tagline is: "When you can live forever, what do you live for?" Would you want to live for eternity?

Rob: Uh, yes, I think so, especially if I could turn it on and off. I kind of like the idea that I could see what death is like and then come back again. That sounds good to me. I want to have my cake and eat it too.

Kellan: I can't wait for the afterlife, to spend eternity wherever it might be. But it would also be cool to live for hundreds of years and get to see how the world turns out. If I could stay 23 years old for 500 years, I'd probably take that deal.

And here's what each of their captions say:

Rob: I never felt like I was making a 'vampire movie', even when we were ripping each other's heads off.

Taylor: I hadn't heard of the Twilight books before the movie. Now I see girls everywhere reading them. The series is huge!

Kellan: I loved vampires growing up. I dressed up as one for Halloween three years in a row.

Twilight Tuesday!

'Twilight' Tuesday: Catherine Hardwicke Gets Swept Up By Bella And Edward's 'Obsessive Love' Plus, the 'Thirteen' director gives details on the big kiss and which character she had to cut.

"MTV: There must be a thousand vampire movies and TV shows that have been made over the years. In your mind, what sets "Twilight" apart?
Hardwicke: Well, when I started reading the book "Twilight," I just got swept away into the feeling of this whole, almost obsessive love. A really cool teenager, just falling madly in love, so in love with this guy that she would actually turn into a vampire to be with him. And I thought: "That's kinda great." Stephenie really caught the spirit of being a teenager and of your first love. And I thought, "How visual!" These vampires live in the forest. We've never seen anything like that. We've never seen vampires playing baseball — superhuman-vampire-speed baseball. There were so many challenges, you know?"

Article catch-up

• The News Tribune discusses Twilight's affect on teenage girls.

"In a culture dominated by television and the Internet, many parents have been amazed if not shocked to watch their teenage daughters devour the “Twilight” series, which features a 17-year-old heroine named Bella and Edward, an incredibly handsome, if conscience-stricken, vampire."

• CinemaBlend has an new article up where they talk about the Twilight re-shoots.

" But now, as the frenzy around Twilight grows, and even old coots like me know who Edward and Bella are, the people behind the movie have a lot more reason to be confident. And therefore, weirdly, they're doing reshoots."

Support Stephenie Meyer!

With regards to the events of the Twilight fandom recently, we, the administrators of several websites, have heard your pleas requesting something be done to support Stephenie. So, to answer the question of "what can we do" that we have heard repeatedly over the last twenty-four hours, we propose the following list of suggestions. Feel free to participate in one or all of the events.

1. Post this for your MySpaces, Blogs, LiveJournals, website sigs etc.


2. Write a letter to Stephenie at

Stephenie Meyer

c/o Author MailLittle, Brown and Company

237 Park Avenue

New York, NY 10017

3. Participate in a "We support Stephenie Meyer" video. All you have to do is send a picture of yourself showing support to twilightthanks@gmail.com and put "VIDEO" in the subject line. Be creative with your show of support, but make sure it is a still photograph and not an actual video. We will take the photos and make them into a video that will later be posted on You Tube.

4. For those of you graphics people who want to do something, we have another idea. We are going to make a virtual quilt. Send a 200 X 200 support graphic to twilightthanks@gmail.com and we will work it into a virtual support quilt. Make sure you put "QUILT" in the subject line.

5. On Saturday Sept. 13, in honor of Bella's birthday, wear a twilight themed t-shirt to show your love of the series. If you work or have other obligations that won't allow you to wear a Twilight shirt, wear all black, white, and red to show your support.

All entries for the video or quilt must be submitted by Wednesday Sept. 3, 2008. You are certainly welcome to do one in each category, but that is by no means a requirement. Also please submit each item in a separate email as it will make our sorting go faster. If there is some sort of detail we left out that you need help with, email twilightthanks@gmail.com with "HELP" in the subject line and we'll see what we can do.
