As a gamer and someone who has followed the behind-the-scenes stories of movies, I have to admit that the production of the Twilight saga sounded quite challenging for its cast members. The infamous sparkly vampire makeup, which was particularly hated by Robert Pattinson, added an extra layer of difficulty to the filming process. Kellan Lutz even considered leaving the franchise due to long waiting periods on set. Anna Kendrick shared her misery during rainy days in Portland that made the filming experience unbearable at times.
In Stephenie Meyer’s acclaimed “Twilight Saga,” the vampires deviate from the conventional understanding. When Bella Swan, portrayed by Kristen Stewart in the movies, settles in the gloomy town of Forks, Washington, she encounters Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), an alluring and enigmatic “high-schooler” with a surprising secret: he is over a century old and a vampire. Upon disclosing this truth to Bella, Edward shares another unusual trait – he glimmers in daylight, prompting his vampire kin to relocate to a place with limited sunshine.
In an interview at a convention as reported by ScreenRant, Jackson Rathbone, who portrays Edward’s adopted vampire brother Jasper Cullen in the Twilight series, shared that Robert Pattinson, the actor for Edward, strongly disliked the make-up required to transform him into a glittering vampire. While they all found the glitter unpleasant, Pattinson bore the brunt of it the most.
As a gamer immersed in the behind-the-scenes of movie making, I can tell you that during the filming of “Twilight,” I witnessed the sparkle testers at work. Occasionally, Rob (Pattinson) would emerge from the makeup trailer, visibly frustrated and agitated. One side of his face was intensely glowing with sparks, while the other half had a more subdued effect. It was a strange sight, leaving me wondering, “Dude, what’s up with that?” The weather also played a significant role in this process. On rainy days, we were relieved because no sparkling was required. But when the sun came out, production faced an even bigger challenge. We would all cheer for the sunshine, except for the production team, who knew it meant more work and complications for them. It was a bizarre situation where sunlight brought both joy and frustration to the set.
Wait, why do the vampires in Twilight sparkle?
As a dedicated fan of the “Twilight” series, I can’t help but notice how Edward’s chilling complexion stands out in every scene. His skin, which is always colder than the frozen winter air, adds to the mystique surrounding the vampires in this captivating saga. This icy exterior is the secret ingredient that makes them shimmer in the sunlight – it’s as if their marble-like skin, devoid of any blood flow, produces a mesmerizing sparkle effect.
Within the unique framework of Meyer’s stories, there is some rationalization behind the fact that these “Twilight” vampires can sparkle in daylight, despite being an anomaly in comparison to classical vampire lore. This difference sets them apart significantly, as most mythological vampires are harmed or destroyed by sunlight. However, the creators of this series seemingly designed these vampires to cater to a younger female audience who might find the idea of their love interests perishing under the sun unsettling.
Filming Twilight could be tricky sometimes, according to its stars
Robert Pattinson isn’t the only actor from “Twilight” who faced challenges during filming. Kellan Lutz revealed on the podcast “The Twilight Effect” that he nearly quit before the final installment, “Breaking Dawn,” due to the tedium of long waits on set. According to Business Insider, Lutz shared, “Some days we were just waiting on set. ‘Twilight’ and all the movies were probably the most waiting on set I’ve ever experienced.” Given my impatience and preference for staying active, I’d rather be doing things than standing around.”
As a gamer, I can relate to Anna Kendrick’s experience during the filming of The Twilight Saga. When we were shooting scenes in rainy Portland, Oregon, my sneakers, or Converse as Anna mentioned, would get soaked through, leaving me feeling quite miserable. At times like these, I couldn’t help but think, “Gosh, this team is awesome, and I believe we’d be great friends under different circumstances, but right now, I want to give each one of them a piece of my mind!”
The production of “Twilight” presented challenges for all involved, with complicated special effects and uncooperative weather, yet the devoted fanbase continues to cherish the final result.
