Alexandra Patsavas talks New Moon Soundtrack

Music Supervisor Alexandra Patsavas talked to Spin Magazine about the New Moon Soundtrack.

Read the entire interview here.

Here is an excerpt:

How you go about something like New Moon, which features original songs from so many artists who don’t often appear in projects this high-profile?
The work starts as soon as the script is finished and distributed. Chris Weitz, the director, had a very specific point of view about how he wanted the music to feel. There’s a lot of separation and longing and loss in the movie; the bands and lyrics and sound and arrangements had to reflect that. Some folks, like Lykke Li, the Killers, Grizzly Bear, OK Go, and Anya Marina all came into the cutting room and sat with Chris to watch the movie and talk about their contributions. Other tracks were submitted with the movie in mind. I think it’s very difficult to succeed without any context.

Thanks Alice!!

It’s a great interview so make sure you check it out.

Here is an excerpt:

Q: What was your favorite scene to shoot?

Mike: My favorite scene by far was the kind of three way date that happened between Mike and Bella and Jacob. That horribly awkward moment when Mike asks Bella out to the movies and she tries to turn it into a group thing and then it ends up being the worst case scenario which is that that three way thing. You know, I’m sure it was certainly not a lot of fun for Mike to go through. I mean, I can relate, as I’m sure a lot of us can, but it was a lot of fun to do.

Anna: And I would have to say that there is a scene where Jessica and Bella go to the movies. That was fun because Jessica really likes to talk about herself and Bella is really depressed. She’s not saying much. We were just kind of trying to do it all in one take, and Chris told me to just keep talking until we came to a natural stop. So I stopped and just kind of monologued as flighty, silly Jessica which was a blast.

Taylor Interview

J-14 has a short interview with Taylor Lautner as part of their New Moon Countdown. Check it out below!

J-14 exclusive interview with Taylor Lautner about why he’s born to be Jacob Black:

J-14: What was it about the role of Jacob that drew you to him?

Taylor Lautner: I guess the fact that I’m a lot like him. When Jacob’s human, he’s really friendly and outgoing and talkative, but his other side — his werewolf side — he’s very fierce and grumpy… and that’s totally opposite of me. It’s fun to play somebody who’s just like me, but then it’s cool as an actor to challenge myself to play something totally opposite of me!

J-14: You enjoy that contrast and balance?

Taylor:Yeah and Jacob is both of that, so that’s pretty cool.
