Muse Track Rejected for "Eclipse"

by Brandon Rabideau


The third film in the incredibly popular Twilight series will not feature a Muse song. This came as a shock, as the previous two films featured the band's music.

Drummer Dom Howard broke the news to Dose saying it was surprising even to them:

"Oh, it’s nothing to do with Stephenie (Meyer), she’s totally cool. It’s the people in the movie business, completely outside of the writers and the creative types, the non-creative types I suppose are the people who are quite hard to deal with in Hollywood, so it didn’t work out."

'Twilight’ creator Stephenie Meyer and director David Slade are reportedly big Muse fans, but in the end they didn't have the final say.

"We worked on it in Australia, we were ready to record, we were going to do some recording with Butch Vig, so we might still do it. I’m sure the song will definitely come to life for real at some point, but I think for this film it’s not going to happen."
