Comments on: Howard Shore to score Eclipse Soundtrack

Seriously, New Moon & Eclipse directors did their films a grave injustice by not hiring and/or even using ANY of Carter Burwell’s score from Twilight. This is SCORE I am talking about here by the way, not the soundtrack/Stephanie Meyer playlist/Paramour n’ Linkin Park pop crap/(props for Radiohead shoutout tho) type compilation included in the movie. Score is different than the soundtrack. I was sorely disappointed when I realized he wasn’t scoring New Moon and felt totally cheated when I finally went and saw each film and both had a crappy unmoving unremarkable score. Suddenly I realized 80% of what I liked about the Twilight film was a visceral reaction to Carter Burwell’s score and not just Kristen Stewart & Robert Pattinson chemistry mixed with an uncomfortable affection for Bella and her plight (I watched the film Twilight before I read the books which I admit is an equally important factor). The next two films I suffered through only because I (guiltily) fell in love with the story as told by Stephanie Meyer in her books and I really love Kristen Stewart as Bella. But none of the visceral reaction I got from Twilight. In fact, I was definitely checking my watch during New Moon and and cringing during Eclipse. Really should have budgeted Carter back in especially given the budget was much greater following Twilight and most of the work was already done through scoring Twilight or at least the sequel directors could have come up with a decent comparable composer… Sigh. Not optimistic round 4 will deliver either.

I loved the Twilight score by Carter Burwell. It stuck in my head and I had to buy it immediately. The score for New Moon was lovely, but nothing memorable. I wish that the theme music in Twilight was carried over to New Moon and the rest of the franchise. The same or similiar scoring would provide continuity and be identified with the Twilight Saga.

I enjoy both soundtracks equally. There are a lot of good songs! I listen to the New Moon soundtrack almost everyday.

I agree with you Leandra. I was so disappointed with the New Moon soundtrack overall although I felt the movie itself was pretty good. We gotta have some hard rock stuff for Eclipse, that’s for sure.

It should have alot of good music, perhaps alot of rock since there’s alot of fighting in this book. Also maybe some sad love songs because well in the beginning bella’s hurt and that scene with jacob and bella saying goodbye. :[

Totally agree and……..i thought Twilight the movie was better too……….even though I love Jacob i thought that without Edward it was a little bit….lost? I am really happy there will be a lot of Taylor Lautner AND Robert Patinson! YAY!
And I think that Edward Cullen was a lot more……relaxed in Twilight. Did anyone notice he sprt of tensed up in New Moon. (Hi hair??????!!!!!)

Me too! I bought the twilight sountrack (I am listening to supermassive black hole right now!) but I thought the music in New Moon sucked….sorry its just my opinon! I hope they get really good music for eclipse!
Maybe Steaphine should ake one because on her website she has a list of tracks she tinks would suit it!

Love twilight even though I like New Moon Twilight will always be #1 sorry but Catherine Hardwick was much better as the director.:(
