Twilight - Movies & Soundtracks





It’s undoubtedly a worldwide success: a simple book transformed into such incredible media production.

By the moment the starring actors Robert Pattinson (Edward Cullen in the movie) and Kristen Stewart (Bella) are the most requested in Hollywood and are finding themselves on the front page of every gossip magazine in the world without being aware about when and how it happened.

The sequel New Moon is the most discussed subject in the internet about movies and productions: Is there something going on between the actors? Will he die? Is it true that Robert is having problems about his eyes and hairs?

It’s sure that there’s incredible expectation for the sequel, though it could not be as good as the first one.

The theme of the vampires, that seemed so dead after all the series like Angel, Buffy and the most recent True Blood and movies like Underworld, is just rebirthing through Twilight’s productions.

A different point of view: they’re headed straight to the teenagers, in other words the easiest key to success.

But there’s another super interesting aspect about this movie, and in general related to those successful movies we all love: its soundtrack.

Does the word Paramore or Decode remind you something? Of course it does!!

The song Decode from the group Paramore has made its way into the music business thanks to the movie. They were barely known before and we’ll see how they’ll do after this chaos generated by the production.

What really interests me is the close relationship between movies and soundtracks, the possibility to be there for the other just in case.

As for the movie The Next Best Thing (2000) starring Madonna and Rupert Everett: without the hit single performed by Miss Ciccone herself American Pie, the movie would have just died in 48h!

Or we can name the case of Titanic: did have more success the movie or the song My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion?

As these ones there are thousands of examples.

I’m just wondering: Who’s gonna be the next lucky “one” for New Moon?

We’ll see!
