Did you know...

2. Kristen Stewart has had to wear contacts during filming - her naturally green eyes didn't match Bella's brown ones. (However, in the rainy Jacob/Bella break-up scene in New Moon, they had to be altered in post production because the heavy rain meant she couldn't wear her contacts).

3. When Bella is searching the internet for information about the Quileute tribe in Twilight and finds the link for the book store in Port Angeles, the link above it is for Little Brown, the publisher of the Twilight Saga.

4. In the Twilight film, when Bella wakes up in the hospital after the fight with James, the TV in the background is playing a montage of the previous fight scene in the ballet studio.

7. Originally, Rosalie was named "Carol" and Jasper was named "Ronald."
