We previously reported that Moon from Letters2Twilight served as our amazingly awesome guest reporter  to bring you this incredible information from the conference.

Moon was able to sit in on the Anatomy of a Soundtrack: Twilight, New Moon panel. Here is her report -

Anatomy of a Soundtrack: Twilight, New Moon

• Making the Twilight soundtracks were easier because Stephenie is an author that already had a clear vision and sound for her books from what she provided and talked about on her website. Music is a centerpiece to her stories. They wanted the soundtrack to be a musical manifestation of the movie and Stephenie’s story

• Chris had a clear point of view about the music he wanted in New Moon: somber
  (and appropriate for denim cut-offs and sleep number beds)

• Chop Shop/Alexandra began working on New Moon last December and were approached by countless bands and managers who wanted to be on the soundtrack. They picked artists who wanted to be part of the team , provide solely exclusive material and weren’t afraid to talk about the movie. It was all about cohesion and the artists they ended up choosing, in their minds, could all play a festival bill together.

(a festival of wrist slashing music! my favorite! bandaids not included)

• New Moon is the first movie Alex has worked on that was a sequel

• They had what Alex called an “embarrassment of riches” when it came to options and artists to choose from for the NM Soundtrack. So many more than they could include. Almost 20 cd’s worth of material

• Chris invited 6-7 potentials artists into the cutting room to show them cuts of the movie, spend time with the artists talking about tone and feeling from the scenes and what he was looking for musically. He took the time because he wanted the right songs. That is why everything fits so well according to Alexandra, the Atlantic VP and Paul Katz (Summit)

Check out the rest of her awesome account of the event after the break! Including Alexandra  Patsavas (Chop Shop Music) stating that they are going to ask Robert Pattinson to contribute to the Third and Fourth movie soundtrack!

A while back, we sent out a call for people passionate about Twilight to help cover all the news here on NewMoonMovie.org and EclipseMovie.org.

The video is pretty awesome! Talks about the current Vampire craze (Twilight, True Blood, The Vampire Diaries) and some of the Twilight spoofs that are currently popular. The video also gives us some background deets for those who are not familiar with the ‘older’ Vampire movies.

I can’t wait to see part 2!

Thank you so much Karli for making this awesome video and for the special introduction! You rock!

NewMoonMovie.org reader, Hollywood2Bklyn, had the awesome opportunity to attend the fundraiser held to support  Alex’s Lemonade (a charity fighting Childhood Cancer) with special guest Peter Facinelli (aka Carlisle Cullen) on Sunday September 20th, 2009.

Hollywood2Bklyn gives her detailed account of the event -

On Sunday, September 20, 2009 Peter Facinelli was at the Galleria at Crystal Run located in Middletown, NY. Just two hours north of New York City. The fund raiser was for Alex’s Lemonade which was established to help fight childhood cancer and I was there, (cringing every hour from the overly screaming teens) for the event.

As Peter tweeted, he flew into New York that morning after filming Eclipse Movie until the breaking dawn hours in Vancouver. With only having three hours of sleep, he was full of energy and personable to each and every fan; for the entire six hour event. I’m now even more enamored with the man.

When it was my turn, (after waiting in line for four hours in 3″ heels again. Yeah, I know I’m mental) I took the opportunity to ask a few quick questions that have been on several of our minds.

Check out Hollywood2Bklyn’s  “mini” interview with Daddy C and another autographed pic of him after the break!

NewMoonMovie.org reader TeamSpaceHeaters has given us an awesome write up of her experience during the Birmingham Twilight Prom, held over this past weekend. She attended the event with fellow NMM.org readers: Phoenix and Bean (yes Bean, LMC still loves you!)!

Here is what TSH had to say -

This was a continuation of the event in London as the cast Charlie Bewley, Daniel Cudmore and Jose Zuniga had previously help a prom in London on the Friday night before doing a talk/pictures etc on the Saturday before coming up to Birmingham – the second biggest city in England and having another prom here and doing the talk pictures on the Sunday.

One of our fellow nmmer’s Phoenix won the prom dance with Daniel Cudmore you can see the video here:

Check out the rest of their awesome experience after the break!
