Twilight Saga: Eclipse - Bella and Jacob
Robert Pattinson has revealed that the anticipated tent scene in Eclipse was reshot because director David Slade didn't think it was "erotic" enough.

The snowstorm sequence, in which werewolf Jacob (Taylor Lautner) warms up Bella (Kristen Stewart) with his body because vampire Edward is cold-blooded, took two days to film and another day of additional shooting.

"[The director] wanted it to be more erotic. Seriously," Pattinson told Entertainment Weekly of the tent scene.

Stewart added: "It's true. In the book there's a serious sexual tension. As I'm sleeping, Jacob is staring over my vulnerable body, and he's naked in this f**king sleeping bag because you heat up faster that way, and Jacob and Edward are leveling with each other."

Lautner said that the scene is his favourite in the movie "because it's the first time Edward and Jacob are actually able to connect and understand each other".
