LA TIMES: CHRIS WEITZ ON THE ‘NEW MOON’ SOUNDTRACK
The Los Angeles Times has a longer look at the interview with Chris Weitz that we posted earlier in the week. In today’s article Chris Weitz talks more about the particulars of the soundtrack for New Moon.
It’s now July, and Weitz will face 6,000-plus screaming fans as he unveils never-before-seen footage from “New Moon” at Comic-Con International in San Diego on Thursday. At last year’s convention, months before “Twilight” was released, the delighted squeals were nearly deafening.Driving home from a day of post-production, Weitz says he understands what’s at stake. There are 450 visual effects shots to complete, in addition to the score and the movie’s soundtrack, which he says will feature songs from Radiohead, Muse and Band of Skulls, among others. But the sequences he’s readying for the event — one, an action scene that will feature some of those effects, the other, a love scene sure to elicit hysteria from the crowd — will be done in time.

I’m so excited to hear Muse might be on the soundtrack. I know nothing is ever confirmed unless we actually hear it from Summit, but this does sound positive. I was just thinking today how sad it would be if Muse was left off the soundtrack.
What do you think of this soundtrack news? Are you happy about the bands mentioned so far?
