Just in case you had any doubt, here’s some further evidence that ‘The Hunger Games’ won’t be the new ‘Twilight’. In a new post on Yahoo! Music, fears that the new film will share too many similarities with the teen-oriented ‘Twilight’ movies are put to rest. The article discusses how the aim of the soundtrack creators was to “make music that reflects what Appalachian music will sound like in 300 years”.

From Lionsgate’s head of film music, Tracy McKnight:

“I think the misconception is that, just because you have a book that appeals to a certain demographic, it’s going to go a certain way. But what we tried to do was have a selection of music that really fit the story of The Hunger Games, and our only preconceived idea was about approaching artists who would connect to the material. We always knew we wanted to make a record that was a great listening experience from beginning to end. We’re giving the audience something really special that they get to discover, instead of it just being pre-stamped and saying ‘Here’s your teen album.'”

The companion album features many indie artists along with the more well-known names. Sunday, we got to hear thirty-second snippets of the featured songs. Do you think the soundtrack creators succeeded in making an album that helps to separate the film from “teen” ones like ‘Twilight’?
