One of director Weitz’s creative challenges is Edward’s long absence in the novel: ”Rob was the first guy to say to me, ‘You know, you don’t really need to have too much of me in this film.’ I don’t want him too present, so his apparition will be a subtle, flitting effect — clearly a reflection of Bella’s will and desire to see him.”

導演Weitz的創造力遭到指責的是愛德華在小說裡長時間缺席：「Rob是第一個這樣告訴我的人：『你知道嗎，你真的不需要給我太多的鏡頭』，我不想他太造成困難，所以他的出現將會是很微妙的輕快的結果-在貝拉的心志並且想要見他，清楚的迴響。
