The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 1 director Bill Condon’s partner Jack Morrissey sent out a few tweets this morning with some interesting updates concerning the film’s score!
He wrote:
Two morsels for Friday:
*The score is recorded.
*I thought you’d be interested in hearing that NEW MOON composer Alexandre Desplat and ECLIPSE composer Howard Shore both happened to be in London this week and stopped by to visit TWILIGHT and BD composer Carter Burwell
*Lastly — for the moment, anyway — the score was recorded at historic Abbey Road Studios (abbeyroad.com) Still owned by the Beatles
All six STAR WARS scores were recorded there, as were all three LORD OF THE RINGS scores (also by Howard Shore), and at least HARRY POTTER 7
It’s great to hear that the New Moon and Eclipse composers stopped by to see Carter Burwell and Bill Condon. We imagine they gave Burwell some tips and/or collaborated in some way.
