When the film becomes successful and popular, fans, having reviewed it several times, begin to become interested in the filming process. And the film "The Twilight Saga", based on the novel by Stephanie Meyer, is no exception.

How the first three films of the saga were shot
The first part of Twilight was released in 2008, directed by its director Katherine Hardwick. Kristen Stewart was immediately selected for the role of Bella, but Henry Cavill was originally supposed to play Edward. The role of Rosalie was offered by Aishwarya Rai, but she eventually refused, and the role was played by actress Nikki Reed.
The second part of the New Moon saga, filmed by director Chris Weitz, was released in 2009. Wolves first appeared in it, and Taylor Lautner, who plays the role of Jacob, by this time managed to build his muscles with hard training.
To make Pattinson look like a vampire, he was carefully made up, and visual effects were used to give his face a glow.
Actor Michael Sheen, who played the role of Aro from the Volturi clan, had previously played in the film about the vampires "Another World" in 2003. He did not immediately agree to the role of Aro.
In 2010, the third installment of Eclipse was released, directed by David Slade. He was already known for his other directorial work - the film about vampires "30 days of the night." Many expected a similar style from him, but these expectations were not justified. This part of Twilight turned out to be quite calm and romantic.
