The Twilight Saga: New Moon

Trivia: The director was not expecting the unintentional movie audience laughter when Alice's vision to Aro shows Edward and Bella running in slow motion through the woods as vampires. Jokingly, he says it is because Edward runs like a girl. (Audio commentary.)

Trivia: "Kwop kilawtley" means "Stay with me forever." This is the Quileute translation for what Jacob says to Bella before they almost kiss in the kitchen.

Trivia: You can see Volterra's tower and the red-cloaked revelers from the festival of San Marco on the cover of Bella's copy of Romeo and Juliet when she wakes up in her bedroom. (Per director Chris Weitz.)

Trivia: Director Chris Weitz did a little trick when Edward gets out of the truck after Bella's birthday party and they are arguing. They put Edward next to the camera on the right but used a double dressed like Edward in the driver's seat. When Edward gets out, it is the double and then when the real Edward steps in front of the camera it appears he got there faster than humanly possible. (Entertainment Weekly, Jan 1, 2010).

Trivia: Right after the scene where Jacob begs Bella not to go to Italy, it shows Alice and Bella driving away in Carlisle's car; there's a glimpse of them heading down to the end of the street where a road block fence is visible. That fence is there to stop people from watching while filming.

Trivia: Towards the end of the movie when Bella tells Aro that he doesn't know anything about Edward's soul, he replies, 'Forse. Ne il vostro l'uno o altro' - 'Perhaps. Nor yours either.' (Per director Chris Weitz.)

Trivia: The wide screen shot was removed when Jacob took his shirt off to help Bella when she fell off the motorbike, since Stephenie Meyer called it "Jacob's Chippendale audition." It was therefore not filmed in a wide screen shot and it was done more quickly. (Audio commentary.)
