More Twilight Easter Eggs

So, I caved and saw Twilight YET AGAIN today. And being that this was my fourth viewing I was able to catch a few more easter eggs that I managed to miss the last three times. An easter egg is a hardly-noticeable little detail that filmmakers or authors drop into their films or books for diehard fans (or just extremely observant people) to find. For those of you who missed my first posting on Twilight easter eggs, be sure to check it out here.

And here are three more to add to the list.

**WARNING: TWILIGHT SPOILERS HERE!

1) Wolf picture in Bella's room - Toward the beginning of the movie, when Bella first comes home to her dad's house in Forks, she walks into her new bedroom and behind her, on the wall, next to the door, is a picture of a wolf. Total foreshadow of book 2, New Moon and the forthcoming film adaptation.

2) Vegetarian Soul mates - So this easter egg (or small detail) is unique to the movie. It is not in the book. But I noticed that in the four times Bella is seen eating (twice with her dad, once in the cafeteria, and once with Edward in the restaurant), she is eating something vegetarian. Veggie burger, spinach salad, mushroom ravioli, etc. I think the filmmakers added this detail (in the book she eats meat) to mirror Edward's so-called "Vegetarianism" (the fact that his family doesn't eat humans).

3) Sleep Disorders - Okay, this one might be a stretch. But if you look closely, when Bella is in the hospital hallway, talking to her dad about the "almost" accident (just before she sees Edward again) behind them on the wall is a hospital directory. The fourth department listed on the directory is the "Sleep Disorder" Clinic. This could be a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that Edward (and all vampires) never sleep.

Okay, stay tuned. Maybe on my 5th viewing, I'll find more!

There's another one. When Bella's in the hospital, if you look at the TV, the scene you just watched in the movie is playing on the TV

Hey Jos, this is a good one! Thanks for posting. And another good reason for me to go see Twilight for the 5th time! :)

I have a few more. When they are in Port Angeles, and he is staring at the guys that were going to hurt Bella, listen very closely to Edwards deep glutural growl. The same growl can be heard when he is sucking the venom out of Bella's blood in the ballet studio. When they are in the lab, there is an owl behind him that makes him look like an angel...

Thanks Renee! Those are good ones. I noticed the growl in Port Angeles but not the one in the ballet studio. Very good catches! And I love the owl!

So, the Sleep Disorder sign in the hospotal scene isn't purposeful (though certainly a happy little accident). Hardwicke mentions it in the DVD commentary.

if you haven't listened to the commentary yet - "i hope you enjoy disappointment"! It seemed that they both had forgotten a lot of the movie - Was Rob embarrassed to have been in it? Doesn't he want to be Edward? He suggests Zack Effron should be in the next movie instead! He says he has aged since Twilight. Also was he hungover at the Comic-Con?!!
