ALEXANDRE DESPLAT HIRED TO SCORE ‘NEW MOON’, CARTER BURWELL NOT RETURNING
Carter Burwell, the amazing film score composer who worked on Twilight and created the famous “Bella’s Lullaby” has stated, through his website, that he has not been asked to score New Moon, and instead, composer Alexandre Desplat has been asked. Read his statement below:

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”.

I have to say, I’m really saddened that Carter won’t be returning for New Moon. I thought the score for Twilight was amazing and really added a lot to the film. But, like I’ve said a million times in the past, I completely trust Chris with the film and am supportive 100% in his decisions. I’ve never seen The Golden Compass, so I can’t vouch for Desplat or the score of that film.
How do you feel about Carter not returning? Were you pleased with the score in Twilight? And what about The Golden Compass – have you seen it? And if so, how did you feel about the score?
