Trivia: In the restaurant scene you can tell that one of Edward's 'pauses' is sped up during his conversation with Bella. His eyes are downcast then flick up super fast to meet Bella's gaze. Although I doubt that this is to show his "vampire super speed" its still interesting to spot.

Trivia: When Bella first arrives at Charlie's house, note the wolf picture on the wall in Bella's bedroom. This is meant to foreshadow the werewolves that appear in the next movie. (Confirmed by the director, Catherine Hardwicke, in the DVD commentary.)

Trivia: When Edward tells Bella he is going to bring her over to his house, he says "You're worried about it." When he says "worried," you can hear his British accent.

Trivia: When Bella is researching on the internet about vampires, she clicks an India link. A picture comes up of a 'vampire', but in fact it is a picture of the Devil from the Codex Gigas, or the 'Devil's Bible' as it is known.

Trivia: 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.

Trivia: 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.

Trivia: The gentleman who sells Bella the book in Port Angeles is the steady cam operator (confirmed by director Catherine Hardwicke).

Trivia: Kirsten Stewart was allowed to choose the song "Flightless Bird" by the band Iron and Wine for the prom scene. Catherine Hardwicke said it is very rare for an actress to suggest a piece of music that would actually make it into the movie.

Trivia: The director Catherine Hardwicke added the armadillo in the background of the biology class. It is a tribute to her home state of Texas. The armadillo is in the scene where Bella and Edward sit together in Biology class for the first time where he looks mad at her.

Trivia: 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.

Trivia: In a cafeteria scene, Eric is saying something about a pyramid. This is taken from a "rock opera" produced by director Catherine Hardwicke in her college days.

Trivia: In the hospital scene near the end of the film, the picture on the wall above where Edward is "sleeping" is a picture of Bella in the Ballet Studio.

Trivia: In the Cullen's garage scene Esme is actually not in the scene (this also has been revealed by the director Catherine) although Edward refers to her being there and throws one of Bella's jackets to her.

Question: When they are in the garage, before they split up to throw off James, Edward tells Alice to "Please keep your thoughts to yourself". I've read the book and I'm pretty sure it explains this but I can't remember. What is Alice thinking?

Answer: Alice can see the future (She can not read minds, thoughts and intentions). She has foreseen that Bella will become a vampire and Edward does not want her to tell Bella that.

Jazaray

Answer: If Alice tells Bella that she will be a vampire she will be scared and shocked.

Bella wouldn't be shocked or scared by knowing that. Bella wants to become a vampire. Edward does not wish this for her, believing it is a cursed life. If Alice tells Bella that she foresees her becoming a vampire, Edward knows this will only encourage Bella to pressure him to change her.

Answer: I thought Alice was thinking about how tasty Bella smells because they had to wear her belongings to confuse Victoria and lead her off Bella's actual scent. If not please do reply as I am curious about this.
