• The scene where a near-death Bella is sinking into the depths was achieved by putting weights in the actress's pockets and letting her sink in a swimming pool. 'Kristen Stewart' was apprehensive about this, so director Chris Weitz demonstrated, to show that there was nothing to be afraid of. As soon as he hit the bottom, he panicked, pulled the weights out of his pockets, and resurfaced, saying "We can't do that to Kristen!" They filmed her from the side and moved the camera backwards to achieve the effect of sinking.
• 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.
• Movie Goof (continuity error): In the clock tower in Volterra, in one scene, Alice is holding her scarf and sunglasses, and then when it goes back, she is holding nothing.
• Movie Goof (incorrectly regarded as a mistake): Bella is said to be immune to vampires' special abilities as highlighted when facing the Volturi, however, Jasper is able to control her mood in regards to her birthday party. In fact, her immunity is to powers that effect the mind, whereas Jasper's powers effect the hormones that control emotions.
