It took 13 takes to recreate the book’s cover

Catherine thought it would be “neat” to give a nod to the novel’s iconic cover - a pair of hands holding a rosy red apple - in the movie so she got Robert to playfully catch a piece of fruit for a blink-you’ll-miss-it moment between Edward and Bella in Forks High School’s cafeteria.

She told GQ magazine: "We had the apple, and we kept trying [the sequence] and it was a pretty tight budget, we had a tight schedule. We usually only did, like, three or four takes and we just could not get the apple to work, and then on take seven, I was like, maybe this was a dumb idea, but let's do take eight and let me try it one more time. Take 13 I think is where we got it.”
