Trivia

To achieve the effect of a newborn Renesmee, the visual effects team used the motions of over 30 real babies using the Lola projection rig. Small bits and pieces were taken to create the final look. Images of Kristen Stewart were also used so the baby would most resemble her like in the book. See more »

Goofs

Continuity: During Bella's transformation, her hair changes positions, from all behind her, to pulled mostly to one side, to on top of her shoulders. See more »

Quotes

[first lines]
