Carter Burwell, the talent behind the original soundtrack for Twilight, will not be composing the score for New Moon. Instead, Alexandre Desplat, who wrote the soundtrack for New Moon director Chris Weitz’s earlier film The Golden Compass, is most likely at the helm. This news comes from the website of Carter Burwell, stating–

As I understand it, the director of New Moon, Chris Weitz, has hired Alexandre Desplat to composer the music for the film. Desplat composed the music for Weitz’ earlier film The Golden Compass. I don’t know if they’ll use any of my themes from Twilight, such as “Bella’s Lullaby”.

[thanks, Aimée!]

While out for coffee, some staffers over at the Deadbolt noticed a group of gals across the street crowding around. Curious, they walked over and saw what all the hubbub was about–and what a hubba-hubba it was–Peter Facinelli! The good doctor proved to be a class act–

Peter Facinelli remained on the sidewalk for slightly under 10 minutes, smiling and chatting away until all autographs were signed and a few photos were taken, which speaks to the patience and obvious appreciation Peter has for Twilight and New Moon fans. Thanks to Peter Facinelli for being so gracious.

Check out the whole encounter and some more pics over at The Deadbolt!

Twilight baddie Cam Gigandet’s healthy baby girl has been born! His girlfriend Dominique Geisendorff had the baby on Tuesday. No name has been picked yet, but 4TNZ has some humorous name suggestions–

• Caminque. Kind of like Renesemee. You know, with the name combination. No? Okay.
• James Jr. Oh, it’s a girl. Right. James-a? How about Jamie?
• Victoria. She’s sworn revenge for James, gotta give her some kind of credit!

Alex Meraz, the newly recruited Paul for New Moon, has an interview with E! where he addresses the smell of Robert Pattinson–and as well all know, the news is fantastic–

“He smells like roses!” castmate Alex Meraz assured us at the Armani Exchange watch launch party last night.

“The first time I met him, I was like, ‘Dude, you smell fantastic!’” Alex continued. “I don’t know where people get this stuff from.”

Growl! Check out this new clip of Alex Meraz–Paul in New Moon–talking about life on the set of the movie. Alex chats about what Chris Weitz has in store for us, what it’s like to be the “Bad Boy” of the wolves and whether there’s any hazing for the new recruits to the Twilight sequel.

If you live in France, you have a chance to win a trip of a lifetime to the set of New Moon in Italy. What’s interesting about this for us folks outside of France is that the tentative dates listed for travel are May 26th–29th–more or less confirming at least part of the dates for the New Moon shoot in Italy.

Interestingly, the traveller will stay in the Hotel Baglioni in Florence, with promise of travel to wherever the shoot is taking place. Does this mean some scenes will be filmed in Florence? Or is the travel from Florence to Montepulciano–about an hour and a half drive away?

France is the first in the world to see New Moon–on November 18th, and now this! Jeez, Paris is sounding mighty find right about now…

[thanks, Lydia!]
