Chris Weitz Celebrity DJ

May 27, 2010 By 4 Comments

chris-weitz-tuxLexicon reader Nina wrote in to let us know:

“Thought you guys might be interested in posting a link to KCRW- Santa Monica’s Public Radio station. Their Guest DJ project will be featuring songs personally selected by New Moon Director Chris Weitz.

They also had a really nice interview with Alexandra Patsavas last year during their morning Alternative Music program, Morning Becomes Eclectic. During that interview she talked specifically about Music Supervision on the Saga series. It is archived on the site. I would not be surprised if she were featured again as Eclipse opens  given her connection to the music and film industries and her unique ability to acquire yet unpublished songs from cutting edge performers that are often already featured on their show.

Catherine Hardwicke was also featured  last March as a Guest DJ and she discusses “15 Step” by Radiohead and Robert Pattinson’s “Let me sign” how they made it into Twilight.”

EW Reviews the Eclipse Soundtrack

May 27, 2010 By 1 Comment

soundrtrackcovereEntertainment Weekly has reviewed the Eclipse Soundtrack and given it a B+ rating.

“At this point, even the most entrenched haters of Twilight’s vampire-sparkle voodoo concede the soundtracks’ indie-rock bona fides — though they might wish the music came shrouded in a plain brown wrapper.

Like last October’s New Moon collection, Eclipse operates as a sort of alt-party primer: original songs from the genre’s current varsity squad, with a smattering of JV newbies.”

Twilight Wins Two Awards at UK’s National Movie Awards

May 27, 2010 By 13 Comments

According to the press association release:

“Twilight was the big winner at the National Movie Awards, taking home three trophies.

The Twilight Saga: New Moon, the second in the series, was named best fantasy film and its star Robert Pattinson took the award for best performance.

Its third instalment, Eclipse, which is due out next month, was chosen as the most anticipated summer movie at Wednesday night’s ITV1 awards.

R-Pattz, whose performances as vampire Edward Cullen have made him a huge star, was not able to attend the ceremony at London’s Royal Festival Hall due to filming commitments but said in a video clip: “It means a lot to me because you the fans decided the winner.”

Peter Facinelli, who plays Dr Carlisle Cullen, collected the saga’s other awards.”
