Storyline

After Bella recovers from the vampire attack that almost claimed her life, she looks to celebrate her birthday with Edward and his family. However, a minor accident during the festivities results in Bella's blood being shed, a sight that proves too intense for the Cullens, who decide to leave the town of Forks, Washington for Bella and Edward's sake. Initially heartbroken, Bella finds a form of comfort in reckless living, as well as an even-closer friendship with Jacob Black. Danger in different forms awaits. Written by IMDb Editors

Did You Know?

Trivia

Dakota Fanning took the small role of Jane in order to prepare for her role as Cherie Currie in The Runaways biopic, with her co-star Kristen Stewart. She later said that the role helped her to establish the relationship between the two in real-life and characters Cherrie and Joan Jett, which Fanning and Stewart play respectively. See more »

Goofs

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: Laurent doesn't glow like the vampires do, though he is outside. However, it's not so much sunny as overcast. We see Edward and the other Cullens outside many times during the day when it's light but overcast, and they never sparkle. See more »

Quotes

Jacob Black: Have you ever has a secret? One that wasn't yours to tell? well that's what it's like for me, only worse, you have no idea how tight I'm bound.
Bella Swan: I hate this. I hate what they've done to you.
Jacob Black: I mean the killer part is you already know. Bella do remember when we walked the beach at La Push, the story?
Bella Swan: The story, about the cold ones?
Jacob Black: Guess I understand why that's the only part you remember.
