Some humorously suggested Stephenie Meyer, the author of theTwilightnovel series, which was adapted into the film series starring Pattinson, also contributed to the movie. And many went as far back as J. Robert Oppenheimer himself while tracing the quirky connection between the tale of vampires and the father of the atomic bomb.
