New Moon (2009)
When Carlisle
is cleaning out Bella's wound after her disastrous eighteenth birthday party,
he drops a match into the bowl with the glass, blood gauze, etc. If you look
closely, you can see that it resembles the cover of the novel 'New Moon'. This
is similar to what Melissa
Rosenberg did in Twilight,
when Edward caught the apple that Bella dropped in the cafeteria.
After months of
speculation and rumors, director Chris
Weitz and the novel's
author, Stephenie
Meyer, confirmed on her official website that Taylor
Lautner would be
reprising his role as Jacob Black. It was doubted as the filmmakers feared he
would not be able to become fit enough in time. However, he was given the
go-ahead after gaining 26 pounds of muscle.
Each member of the
wolf pack had to have papers proving their Native descent. Chaske
Spencer is Lakota
(Sioux), Bronson
Pelletier is
Cree-Metis, Alex
Meraz is Purepecha
(Tarasco), Kiowa
Gordon is Hualapai,
and Tyson
Houseman, who was discovered at an open casting call, is Cree.
Actors of the wolf
pack went through "wolf camp" together to get buff and bond with each
other.
During the filming of
Bella's birthday party, Jackson Rathbone got so into character that both Peter
Facinelli and Kellan
Lutz had to hold him
back. During one of the takes,Elizabeth Reaser was knocked to the ground.
Because it took 36
hours to turn Nikki
Reed's brown hair blond, it was reported that she would wear a wig
to play Rosalie.
Ashley
Greene wore a
different wig than the one she wore in Twilight,
to portray Alice Cullen. She also cut her hair quite short so that it could fit
under the wig.
Jamie
Campbell Bower, who stars as Volturi member Caius, originally
auditioned for the role of Edward Cullen in Twilight.
"New Moon"
is Robert
Pattinson's favorite book in the Twilight series.
The film's American
premiere was held on 16 November 2009, which, in the lunar cycle, is a new
moon.
The ring Bella wears
on her index finger the whole movie is set with a large moonstone.
Robert
Pattinson refused to
have his eyebrows waxed as extensively as he had in Twilight,
resulting in a slightly bushier look on Edward.
A vampire's diet is
revealed by the color of the eyes - the Cullens feast only on animal blood and
therefore have topaz eyes, whereas the Nomads and the Volturi have red eyes
indicating they feast upon human blood.
When
Jacob is fixing Bella's motorbike in his garage, a wolf print is shown on the
rear back of his t-shirt.
In the scene where
Charlie is giving Bella her birthday presents, there is a picture of Bella and
Edward from Twilight stuck in the corner of a wall
decoration behind her bed.
Just
before Jacob almost kisses Bella, he says "Kwop kilawtley", which
means "stay with me forever" in Quileute.
In
the school parking lot scene it's Bella 18th birthday. That scene was shot on
April 9 which was Kristen
Stewart's 19th birthday.
Throughout Twilight, Kristen
Stewart wears brown
contact lenses in order to match Bella's eyes. The same is true of New
Moon, except for one scene. In the Jacob/Bella "break-up"
scene outside of Jacob's house. In this scene, Stewart did not wear lenses due,
instead her brown eyes are actually CG applied during post-production. This was
because the large amounts of rain kept affecting her lenses.
During
an argument between Bella and Edward in the truck outside her house, the Edward
that got out of the truck was actually a double dressed like Robert
Pattinson in the seat.
Pattinson was actually positioned next to the camera but out of sight. After
the double moved out, Pattinson stepped in front the camera. Chris
Weitz pointed out that
this was trick deliberately done to simulate how Edward moved in and out of the
truck in an inhuman manner.
While
Carlisle is cleaning Bella's wounds after the
party, when he burns the blood-soaked gauze, the gauze forms the shape of a
heart.
When Taylor
Lautner lifts the
motorbike out of the back of the truck, he was actually holding a bike held up
on wires by a crane. The wires were later removed digitally.
In
the book, Bella (Kristen Stewart) works part-time at a sporting
goods store with Mike Newton (Michael Welch), in which his family owns. In
the film saga, Bella never has a job and her friendship with Mike becomes very
distant.
The
scene where a near-death Bella is sinking into the depths was achieved by
putting weights in the actress's pockets and letting her sink in a swimming
pool. Kristen
Stewart was apprehensive about this, so director Chris
Weitz demonstrated, to
show that there was nothing to be afraid of. As soon as he hit the bottom, he
panicked, pulled the weights out of his pockets, and resurfaced, saying
"We can't do that to Kristen!" They filmed her from the side and
moved the camera backwards to achieve the effect of sinking.

Stewart) accepts the motorcycle ride in Port Angeles
