TO MODS:: [spoiler]yu can DELETE this thread if its useless [/spoiler] THE DIFFERENCES [spoiler]Noted differences between the original Twilight novel and the movie adaptation. In the book, Edward mentions how 'twilight' is the "safest time of day for us[vampires]". The time of actual twilight is never made significant or mentioned in the movie. In the book, Forks High School is a cluster of separated buildings. In the movie, it is just one typical enclosed building. In the movie the heroin line "Isabella Swan: So what your saying is, I'm your brand of heroin? Edward Cullen: Yes, you are exactly my brand of heroin." is changed to "your scent, it's like a drug to me... my own personal brand of heroin...." Most of the integral conversations from the book were clipped short and almost trivialized in the movie. Bella never seemed embarrassed in the movie. There is no Ben Cheney in the movie. There is also no Lauren Mallory. Mr. Banner (biology teacher) from the book has been re-named to Mr. Molina in the movie. In the movie, there is a golden onion. Edward does a trick with an apple in a cafeteria scene in the movie. All the Cullen family members wear "the Cullen family crest" somewhere on them at all times in the movie. In the book, Bella's cell phone didn't work in Forks. Emmett's Jeep is white in the movie. In the book, it's red. Waylon Forge is a new character that is Charlie's friend. Victoria and James kill him. Jasper is right-handed in the movie. He is left-handed in the book. Angela goes to Prom with Eric. In the movie, Prom is held in a B&B called View Point Inn instead of the high-school gym. In the movie, you see Phil in Arizona before Bella leaves. Charlie's house in Forks has a dishwasher. In the Baseball Scene in the movie the Cullens wear jerseys and hats instead of normal clothes. The scene in the biology room where they do the blood typing is missing in the movie. In the book Twilight, Bella reveals that she knows Edward is a vampire in the car on the way back to Forks from Port Angeles; for the movie this revelation was moved to the meadow. New Movie Scene: Phoenix, Arizona, Bella's house. In the book it starts off with her going to the airport. We get to see Bella's house in the movie and things happen there. Renee & Phil are packing the car to take her to the airport, Bella unplants a cactus from in front of her home and puts it in a pot. She has the potted cactus in her hands when she enters her room in Forks, but it disappears quickly. In the book Twilight, Bella was using a CD Player instead of an iPod. In the book, Rosalie drives a red BMW M3, in the movie, she drives a Mercedes. In the book, Bella cooks for Charlie every night. In the movie, they go to the diner every night. In the movie, when they are in Edward's room and he says "You really shouldn't have said that," they jump out the door. In the book, they sit on the couch. In the book, Bella finds out about the truck while she is riding in Charlie's police cruiser and Charlie doesn't talk about the truck nor that Bella had been saving money to buy a car herself. In the movie, Bella doesn't see the truck at the house until after Billy and Jacob deliver it. In the movie, Edward and Bella's first kiss is in Bella's room. In the book, their first kiss is near the meadow. In the book, Victoria has fire red hair, while James and Laurent have short, cropped hair. Also, Laurent is described as having olive toned skin, and James' hair is brown in the book. Their appearances are different in the movie. In the book, James reveals information about Alice's past; they make no reference to that in the movie. They didn't mention Jasper's ability in the movie. In the book, Jacob tells Bella all the legends of his tribe and she learns from him that Edward is a vampire; in the movie, Jacob tells her only part of the story and she finds the rest out from a book she buys in Port Angeles; in the Twilight book, Bella never buys a book from the book store in Port Angeles. In the book, it is only after another student opens the door that Edward realizes that Bella is standing in behind him in the office on the first day. In the movie Edwards seems to smell her as soon as he enters the room. In the book, Emmett,Rosalie, Alice and Jasper attend the prom. In the movie they are not there. In the book, Alice helps Bella get ready for the prom. In the movie Bella seems to get ready by herself, as all of her clothes is mismatched and casual-something that would never happen if Alice had helped out. In the movie, the Cullen's house is modern looking that's black and brown. In the book, its old and white. In the book, Bella tells Edward that he dazzles people while they are having dinner in Port Angeles. In the movie she never mentions it. In the movie when Bella gets away from Alice and Jasper to meet up with James, she ditches them in the hotel lobby. They never even go to the airport like in the book. When Bella sees Jacob at the prom in the movie, he hasn't grown signifigantly like in the book. In the movie there is no mention of Jacob fixing up the Rabbit or when Billy bribes him with auto parts to get him to warn Bella at the prom. Instead, in the movie Jacob is given $20 instead of the car part. In the movie Victoria secretly stalks Edward and Bella at the prom. The resturant Bella and Edward in the movie is not Italian and the scene goes much differently than in the book. In the movie, Edward never invites Bella to sit with him at lunch leaving the rest of Bella's friends jealous. In the movie there is no "sadie hawkins" dance, only the prom. In the movie, Bella has a new-looking Apple laptop. In the book, she has an old desktop computer. In the movie, Bella's truck is quiet. In the book, it is loud and everyone can hear it. In the book, when Edward saves Bella from being crushed by the truck, it's before school. In the movie, this happens after school. In the book, Bella isn't worried about how old her truck is, and knows it won't attract attention. In the movie, people make fun of how ancient her truck is. In the book, Charlie put chains on Bellas truck tires, and he hadn't told her about it. In the movie, Charlie put winter tires on the truck instead, and told her before she left for school. In the book, Angela isn't happy about going to the dance with Eric. In the movie, she hopes that he will ask her to the dance. In the book, Edward gets Ben to ask Angela to the dance, in the movie, Angela asks Eric. In the book, Tyler tells everyone that he is taking Bella to Prom, without her permission. In the movie, there is no mention of this. In the book, Bella swaps clothes with Esme to throw off the "tracker"'s (James') scent. In the movie, Rosalie puts on Bella's jacket and runs through the forest to throw off the scent. During the hospital scene in the book, Edward says that he will stay with Bella "as long as it is best for her", this is a crucial part of New Moon. But was not in the movie. In the book, Edward takes Bella in to Carlisle's study and shows her the paintings and tells her about the Volturi and about their pasts. In the movie, this doesn't happen. Alice doesn't walk in with Jasper and say "We thought you were having Bella for lunch, we wanted to know if you would share?" In the movie, there is no hunting trip, therefore Edward doesn't leave Bella a note telling her to "Be Safe" while he is away like there is in the book. In the movie, Bella does not leave her jacket in Jessica's car, forcing her to wear Edward's. In the book, Edward didn't know that James and Victoria were together, a crucial point in the next two books with Edward saying that he would've known that Victoria would've come back if he would've known that they were "mates", whereas in the movie, James and Victoria walk away with James' arm draped over her shoulder. In the book, Bella was afraid of riding on Edward's back as they ran, whereas in the movie, she appeared excited and not frightened at all. Bella and Jacob never sat on what became referred to as their log during the other books when Jacob told Bella the story. They were walking in the movie when he told her. In the movie, she never "flirts" with Jacob to get him to tell her his tribe's legends. In the book, Jacob danced with Bella, with Edward's consent while telling her what Billy bribed him to say. In the movie, this never occurred.[/spoiler] ------>> WHO IS EDWARD CULLEN?(robert pattinson) [spoiler]Edward Cullen was born Edward Anthony Masen on June 20th 1901. He had a great want to be a soldier and fight in World War I while he was growing up. That however changed when he and his parents caught the Spanish Influenza in 1918. His father Edward Masen Sr. died in the first wave of the influenza. His mother Elizabeth Masen asked the physican Dr. Carlisle Cullen, who was taking care of them to do everything within his power to save her son before she died a few hours later. Carlisle acted on her wishes and took Edward from the hospital shortly after he took Elizabeth to the morgue and took him to his house where he changed him into a vampire in 1918. Edward had a very rebellious period at the beginning of his vampire life and used his ability to read minds to prey on only the worst people of society. He later regretted everything he did and went back to Carlisle's side and his way of life. Over the next 80 to 90 years, Edward watched his family grow from just him, Esme, and Carlisle to him, his adoptive mother and father, his adoptive sisters Rosalie and Alice, and his adoptive brothers Emmett and Jasper. Rosalie was originally meant for him but he never looked at her more than a sister.He also watched how everyone in his family found love and that he was the only one who didn't. However, that all changed when he met and fell in love with Bella Swan.[/spoiler] WHO IS BELLA SWAN?(kristen stewart) [spoiler]Isabella Marie Swan was born on September 13, 1987 to Renée Dwyer and Charlie Swan, a young couple living in the small town of Forks, Washington. Bella's parents divorced when Bella was six months old, and Renée took Bella with her when she moved to Phoenix, Arizona. Very little of Bella's life in Phoenix is mentioned, although she does allude to not fitting in very well at her old school, never having any romantic relationships or many friends, and that she spent a lot of time with her mother. She mentions briefly taking piano lessons, which she complained about until her mother let her discontinue her lessons, and having (and killing) a few pet fish - three in a row. It is also known that she used to take ballet lessons in a studio near her house, and that she wasn't very good; she was always placed, to Bella's relief, in the back at recitals. The dance studio is the sight of a future fight between Bella, Edward, and James.Bella is also known to have visited Forks in her past to spend time with Charlie. During these occasions, she also spent time with Rachel, Rebecca, and Jacob Black, the children of Charlie's friend Billy.[/spoiler]
