A still from the latest Twilight film called New Moon starring (from left) Mike Newton (Michael Welch), Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) & Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner)
Here are ten things you never knew about the hit series:
* The actors need to remain pale, so their contracts reportedly include a “stay out of the sun” clause for the duration of the shoot.
* The first Twilight film, directed by Catherine Hardwicke, took over $70 million worldwide and was the top debut ever for a film directed by a woman.
* Two of the songs in the first film, Never Think and Let Me Sign, were recorded by Robert Pattinson.
* The author, Stephenie Meyer, says that the idea for the book came to her in a dream.
* Stephenie Meyer made a cameo in the first film, as a woman who orders a vegetarian sandwich in the diner.
* The location of Forks, Washington was decided upon when Meyer googled the parts of the US which have the most rain.
* The name Edward Cullen is a mix of Stephenie Meyer’s love of classic heroes of English literature, such as Edward Rochester and Edward Ferrars, and a common English surname found on seventeenth century tombstones.
* There are five completed books in the Twilight saga – Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, The Host and Breaking Dawn.
* A sixth book – Midnight Sun – was leaked incomplete onto the internet. The book is still unfinished – Meyer says it is on hold indefinitely.
no i dont agree that the host was part of the twilight saga! it was a separate book with its own characters and storyline!
I agree with demons above. The Host is a separate novel and story with nothing to do with Twilight!
