E! Online talks a bit about how the songs for the Twilight soundtrack were chosen–and the process for the New Moon soundtrack one. Basically, anything is up in the air to be included, and it could even turn out to be a bit more adventerous.
The songs for New Moon haven’t been nailed down yet—the flick is still in preproduction after all—but do I have some gossip on the movie anyway? You bet.
First, some background. When it comes to Twilight’s soundtrack, you may credit legendary music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas, who has also curated the music for TV shows The OC, Roswell, Chuck, Mad Men and Without a Trace. Patsavas is also on board to supervise the sound for New Moon. Now the gossip…
The new director, Chris Weitz, has been sending out signals that he may be open to a more experimental soundtrack than his predecessor. That could mean songs that sparkle even more than the movie’s vampires when they get caught in the sun.
“I think that might be the way it’s going,” says Marisa Baldi, West Coast partner for Zync, a music brokerage that funneled two songs onto the Twilight soundtrack. “I get the vibe that the guy is a little more into being surprised…everything is really open, and he wants to hear a lot of cool music.”
I’m all for a more experimental soundtrack–the Twilight soundtrack was great, but with the higher profile of New Moon it needn’t rely on big names, what matters is how it fits the mood of the movie. Speaking of the soundtrack, coming soon will be a huge new soundtrack poll, with a runoff between the winners of our free-for-all poll from last month. Plus, you might so a couple of suggestions for what we’d like to see on the soundtrack as well!
