If you remember, director Catherine Hardwicke left some little secret touches in Twilight. Here are two examples you may have heard of or noticed :
- When Bella is looking up the Quileute mythology book she finds a listing for a bookstore in Port Angeles. Under this tab there is a list of other places to get the book, like Amazon.com, including “Little Brown” which is the publishing company for the “Twilight” series.
- When Bella, Edward and Renee are in the hospital, in the background on the TV past Renee, look closely – it’s footage from a few scenes earlier during the attack in the ballet studio.

Well Chris Weitz did the same thing, leaving little inside jokes for us throughout New Moon. Today he revealed several of those little tidbits. Here’s the ones revealed in Entertainment Weekly:
- Hidden wolves – ”Look for an upside-down engraving of a wolf in the shot of the bowl in which Carlisle burns his first-aid equipment; on Jacob’s T-shirt when he meets Bella in the school parking lot for the first time; and a wolf trinket on the dream-catcher that he gives her.’
- Vampire elevator music – ”When Edward, Bella, and Alice get into the elevator on their way to see the Volturi, the music playing in the elevator is from Strauss’ Die Fledermaus (a.k.a. The Bat).”
- Emotional baggage? – ”When Bella is looking for the meadow where she and Edward are seen lying down together, she carries a golden compass clipped to her backpack — part of my baggage!”
- Speedy suitor – ”We did a little trick when Edward gets out of Bella’s truck and they’re arguing. We wanted to show Edward moving impossibly quickly, so we put Rob right next to the camera but out of sight, and used a double dressed like Rob in the driver’s seat. When Edward gets out, it’s the double, and then Rob steps in front of the camera, and it looks as if he got there faster than humanly possible.”
- Look it up – ”And last but not least: If you want to know what Jacob says before he almost kisses Bella, ask a Quileute! The address of the Quileute tribal council is quileutenation.org. I can tell you this much: He says, Kwop kilawtley.”
By the way, I looked it up -”Kwop kilawtley” means “Stay with me forever”.
In addition to those, there were some on the Twilight Tracker App – itunes.com/twilight” (These are courtesy of Twilight Examiner):
On Bella’s copy of Romeo & Juliet, a picture from Volterra covered the book.
The camera drop during Paul and Jacob’s in-transformation tussle was intentional to recreate the look of an actual animal knocking over the camera.
In front of Emily’s house, there was a drum actually given to the production crew by a member of the Quileute Nation.
The opening of The Twilight Saga: New Moon with the moon phasing backwards was also intentional to reflect accuracy in phasing.
Aro says “Fore … ne il vostro l’uno o altro” to Bella in the Volturi lair, meaning “Perhaps … nor yours either” (regarding whether he understands Edward’s soul).
Did you catch any of these when you watched New Moon?
Pick up a copy of this weeks EW for all the info!
