Q: Just to follow that up, can you tell us how far along you are to completion right now?
I am about two weeks away from showing the director’s cut to the studio. I’ve got some wolves with fur. Some wolves are still invisible basically and some wolves are like — you’ve all probably seen the claymation versions. We are still in the light RD phases of what Edward looks like when he’s hit — what the vampires look like when he’s hit with light and the diamond effect. Also, the kind of hallucinatory effect Bella has when she hears Edward’s voice and she imagines him there. And then we are Alexandre Desplat has just started working on his music for the film. And we are just starting to put together what acts will be on the soundtrack, so it’s kind of like keeping ten plates spinning at once, but it’s all good because we’ve got Alexander Desplat who I think is one of the greatest film composers living and because of the kind of the strength of the franchise that I inherited, a lot of bands are really interested in working on the soundtrack and we got visual effects people. And that just leaves me hopefully not dropping the ball in terms of editing together the story.
Q: Sounds like a lot.
It is a lot, and with Comic-Con on the 24th were we are going to show a couple of scenes to whoever can get in that auditorium. And yeah, it’s a lot to be getting on with, but it’s fun at the same time.
Q: In regards to the music, will Alexander Desplat be using Carter Burwell’s theme at all?
I think, y’know, yes, because like any franchise there are certain themes that become familiar. I suspect he’s going to transpose it in some manner and most of the music will be entirely new to the franchise, because his style is somewhat different from Carter Burwell’s, but I think there is some value to having a familiar — I believe the words are ‘light motifs’ — running through the entire series.
Q: Really quickly on the music. The first movie probably made Paramore as a band. Were you surprised by the number of acts wanting to be on the sequel and have you had to turn anybody down?
Well, fortunately I’m not at the stage where I have to turn anybody down yet, because everything is still kind of up in the air, but I am surprised by some of the bands that have said they are interested. It’s kind of great. The criteria will still be what’s right for the movie at that given moment, but y’know, Thom Yorke is interested. We might, if we’re very lucky, get Kings of Leon to do something. So, it’s exciting to have access to this kind of talent.
