Trivia: Before Twilight, Emile Hirsch and Kristen Stewart worked together in a film, Into the Wild. Emile would later recommend Kristen to Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke, who had worked with Emile on Lords of Dogtown. Interestingly enough, also in that film was Nikki Reed, who would later play Rosalie in Twilight.
Allister Cooper, 2011Trivia: Cam Gigandet, who plays James, once stated that when he auditioned for a part in the film, he won and was originally cast as Emmet. However, he preferred to play James, and he got the role. He refers to James as the vampire's vampire.
Allister Cooper, 2011Trivia: Stephenie Meyer (on the bonus features DVD) discusses how she wishes she had thought of putting the dream sequence in her book that is in the movie. When Bella dreams of Edward in her bedroom, he is in the room. Bella immediately sits up and switches on the light, and he is not in the room. The audience knows that Edward was in the bedroom with Bella, and Stephenie Meyer says, "Oh, I should have done that!" in the book.
