Muse No Longer On 'Eclipse' Soundtrack

MuseWell now, here is some rather odd news, Muse will no longer be on the Eclipse soundtrack! Whaaaaaaat? Yeah, here are the details and I must say I am a little surprised! What will the vampires do while they play baseball now?!:

"Nah, it's gone," Howard tells us -- just a few months after he quipped to MTV: "We might even do something for the third one. How about that for a scoop?"

The news is surprising given the band is pals-y with Eclipse's director, David Slade (he helmed loads of Muse's early videos), and possibly pals-ier with Stephenie Meyer (there's even a photo of lead singer Matthew Bellamy cozying up to Twilight's dark-ish mistress on Muse's official site).

"Oh, it’s nothing to do with Stephenie, she’s totally cool," says Howard, beginning to explain how Muse have potentially broken their Twilight hat-trick. "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."

As for the original tune in question, which remains untitled, Howard says it would have fit Eclipse like Edward on Bella -- even though it wasn't directly inspired by the books or movies.

"It was a love song, so it’s a personal song, and it wasn’t really to do with the films. But it was sounding good," he says.

Muse still plans to release it, says Howard, even if you won't hear it on the Eclipse soundtrack. (Maybe you can just play it over the make-out scenes once the flick hits DVD.)

"Yeah, yeah, we sure will [release it]. I mean, it was great. 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," he says. "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."

  12. lol can't believe you said muse belongs to twilight, I am a male, british fan of muse and have seen them live. Theyw ere around long before twilight and on the soundtrack that my cousin owns there are songs like teh samll print, hysteria and yes please, these and many other of there songs have nothing to do with fucking queer-ass vampires or romance, muse are better than this, twilight fans can't be proper muse fans they just try to like them because stephanie meyer thinks shes a fan
