Speculation about the New Moon soundtrack is being talked about, according to MTV. And it's a bit surprising. MTV says that some musical acts being considered are Thom Yorke, Bon Iver and Grizzly Bear. The New Moon soundtrack will have a more "indie" bend to it, says music supervisor Alexandra Patsavas.Author Stephanie Meyer admits to music playing an important role in her writing. But the bands are Blue October, My Chemical Romance and Linkin Park. You can see how the bands on the film's soundtrack don't exactly match up to the bands the author listens to when penning the books.
I could only imagine it happening backwards with a writer like 76-year-old Cormac McCarthy (No Country For Old Men, The Road, All The Pretty Horses).
"Ok, so your very-serious novel Blood Meridian is about a teenage runaway and scalp hunters in the Southwest, correct?" asks the flashy big-time Hollywood director, looking to make a kick-ass film adaption.
"Correct," replies McCarthy.
"Good. Ok, now did you listen to music while writing the book?"
"Yes."
"I'm guessing a lot of music that would influence your writing of the Southwest, maybe some very classical folk artists and old-time country singers?"
"Sure."
"Ok, ok, ok, great...well, we're going to put Katy Perry, Black-Eyed Peas and Fall Out Boy on the sountrack. How fucking awesome is that, dude?"
"What?" asks a stunned McCarthy.
"Nothing, bro!" yells the director as he high-fives McCarthy.
