The Twilight: New Moon soundtrack is filled with talented artists including Muse who have a song entitled, "I Belong To You (New Moon Remix)". Matthew Bellamy of Muse in a new interview discusses how their involvement in the project came about, and how it all started years before the film was made when Twilight author Stephenie Meyer approached the band.
An excerpt from the interview with the NationalPost:
Q: You have a song on the new Twilight film. Are you a fan?
A: Well, I liked The Lost Boys in the '80s. I remember that one had a pretty good soundtrack as well. This sort of film struck me as this generations version of The Lost Boys. It was actually Stephenie Meyer who approached the band quite a few years before the film was name, just as she was becoming known. She came to a concert in Phoenix, in Arizona - I think that's where she lived, or she lived nearby. She was very friendly, and she told us that she liked the music and that she'd like to use the music in the films. It was a few years later that the filmmakers came to us, and we said sure. I had no idea [the first film] was going to be a film as it was, I thought is was going to be an indie film.
Q: You've also put your band forth as being interested in contributing the theme song to a future Bond film.
A: Yes (laughs).
Q: Are you interested in working on a full film score?
A: Me personally, yes, I'd be interested in. Not in the Muse style. Picking a film that the music would work. I've been offered to do some work on a remake of Clash of the Titans. It'll be really sort of mental music for a film like that. Totally different to Muse.
