Robert Pattinson used Midnight Sun in Twilight
Tuesday, 23 December 2008
Robert Pattinson read Midnight Sun whilst Twilight was being filmed and it helped him develop Edward Cullen's character.
He was given a copy of Midnight Sun (Twilight written from Edward's viewpoint rather than Bella's) about two thirds into the filming by writer Stephenie Meyer.

Robert told Collider.com that reading Midnight Sun made him realise how dangerous Edward is.
He said: "In the book (Twilight) it seems that when he says, 'I'm a monster and I'm going to kill you –' and she says, 'I'm not afraid –' you kind of know the whole time in the book that he's never going to do anything bad.
"But then you read that first chapter in 'Midnight Sun' where the full extent of how much he wanted to kill her and how he's considering killing the entire school just so that he can kill her becomes evident. I wanted that element of him to be very prominent.
"I wanted Bella to be saying, 'I'm not scared. You won't do anything to me –' but not so certainly. So that it'd suddenly be like, 'You won't do anything to me, will you?' I kind of wanted something like that.
"I think it makes it sexier if there's a very real chance of him just flipping out and killing her."
