Trivia

• Catherine Hardwicke, director of Twilight (2008), the first movie in the Twilight Saga, was set to be the director of New Moon as well. Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts, Hardwicke had to back out.
• New Moon began filming in March 16th 2009, in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada; then filming moves to Montepulciano, Italy.
• After months of speculation and rumors, Director Chris Weitz and the novel's author, Stephenie Meyer, confirmed on her official website that Taylor Lautner would be reprising his role as Jacob Black. It was doubted as the filmmakers feared he would not be able to become fit enough in time. However, he was given the go-ahead after gaining 26 pounds of muscle.
• Each member of the wolf pack had to have papers proving their Native decent. Spencer is Lakota (Sioux), Pelletier is Cree-Metis, Meraz is Purepecha (Tarasco), Gordon is Hualapai, and Houseman, who was discovered at an open casting call, is Cree.
• Actors of the wolf pack went through "wolf camp" together to get buff and bond with each other.
• Shares filming location of Montepulciano, Italy with Diane Lane's romantic comedy Under the Tuscan Sun (2003) and the coming of age/study abroad documentary Di passaggio (2009).
• During the filming of Bella's birthday party, Jackson Rathbone got so into character that both Peter Facinelli and Kellan Lutz had to hold him back. During one of the takes, Elizabeth Reaser was knocked to the ground.
• Because it took 36 hours to turn Nikki Reed's brown hair blond, it was reported that she would wear a wig to play Rosalie.
• Summit approved a film adaptation of Eclipse, the third novel in the Twilight series, in February 2009. The film is tentatively scheduled for release on June 30, 2010. It was announced that Chris Weitz will not be directing the third film. Instead, Eclipse will be directed by David Slade.
