When it came time to start production on The Twilight Saga: New Moon, producers of the much-anticipated Twilight sequel faced an awkward conundrum. Author Stephenie Meyer, having penned the second chapter of her teen vampire saga before production on the first film began, cast Bella Swan�s forbidden paramour, Edward Cullen, as essentially a background character in New Moon. But that was before a dreamy English bloke named Robert Pattinson arrived on the scene, inspiring an almost cult-like following with his performance as the brooding vampire badboy in Catherine Hardwicke�s blockbuster 2008 adaptation.
Producers of the subsequent sequel knew that the legions of Edward Cullen fans wouldn�t stand for a mere cameo from Pattinson in New Moon, so they scrambled to find ways to maximize the screen time of their most precious asset without compromising the integrity of the novel�s core storyline. Which is why Pattinson is often photographed in slow-motion or depicted as an Obi-Wan Kenobi-like apparition in the latest film.
