When the Entertainment Weekly cover hit with Edward and Bella in the water, sharp-eyed readers noticed that Robert Pattinson’s eyes were not golden and Kristen Stewart’s were not brown. We figured since there was so much water involved in the scene wearing contacts wasn’t possible and that they’d fix it digitally in the final touches on the film (much in the same way Kristen Stewart couldn’t wear contacts in the New Moon cliff diving scene.)
Well it turns out there is another answer. Bill Condon’s partner, Jack Morrissey responded to fan inquiry and here is the answer. According to Bill Condon, the picture in EW is a rehearsal shot. They had the actual contacts in when the cameras actually rolled and things like that are also double checked in post production.
So no worries folks, the eye-color is correct in the film.
I’m glad that was clarified but I will admit when I first saw the picture, I thought it was a paparazzi shot more than a shot for the film. Let’s keep it real, everyone knows with 99% positively what is going on personally so with them using that picture as the cover without their contacts is a bit misleading because I can see it as they(Robert & Kristen) were caught in the midst of a private moment rather than their characters (Edward and Bella)..but as long as they get it right in the film, its fine.
I was thinking it was a paprazzi shot too b/c of the way they are looking in the direction of the camera. It just didn’t really seem like a ‘scene shot’.
Either way, I love the picture.
I love it too regardless…the interview was pretty funny too.
Well Said! Thank you
I wasn’t worried. I thought the same as you guys that it was because they were in water. I’ve had contacts in water before & it’s not easy & I almost lost them.
Very True., I’m the same way….unless you wear goggles., they are impossible to wear in water.
I didn’t notice her eyes but I noticed his…I thought maybe he was hungry.
got mine in the mail over the weekend!!! love it!
anw *-*
i love !
Just posted this on my page! Thanks!
i love you soo much
I read the story…wish this had love button
I knew it!
I definitely thought because of the quality of the shot that it was not an actual still from the film so it is nice to know it is a rehearsal shot.
Seems like poor judgement to release it. Why not just release paparazzi shots if it means so little?
I’m actually very pleased to see them like that completely natural. I’m a Robsten fan anyway this give day dream material

Were people really making that big a deal out of it? Anyone who wears contacts like me knows that its not a good idea to wear them in a pool or shower
Sharp eyed readers? I could see they were contact-free without my glasses on!
That’s so cool!!! I love twilight!
i really real;ly love so much
really really cool
