Late in 2011, Liberty Studios got an early Christmas gift in the form of multiple Academy and Grammy Award winning composer, Howard Shore, who was in Liberty Studios working on post-production for David Cronenberg’s upcoming film Cosmopolis. The film stars Robert Pattinson and was shot in Toronto as well as Manhattan. To sweeten the deal further, the main mixing engineer for the score was John O’Mahony who has worked with Canadian darlings like Metric for many years since their first album to the most recent.
While hosting a week long session for Howard Shore x Cosmopolis, the studio even got a visit from Mr. Cronenberg who; aside from being incredibly talented and innovative, was also very humble and simply a joy to meet and greet.

BEL AMI

Music Composed by
Lakshman Joseph De Saram (Between Two Worlds)
and
Rachel Portman
(The Vow, Grey Gardens, The Cider House Rules)

Based on the novel by Guy de Maupassant, BEL AMI is an erotically charged tale of ambition, power, and seduction that chronicles the rise of penniless ex-soldier Georges Duroy (Robert Pattinson — The Twilight Saga, Remember Me) from poverty up through the echelons of the 1890s Parisian “beau monde” elite. Using his wits and powers of seduction, Duroy moves from a prostitute’s embrace to passionate trysts with wealthy beauties who inhabit a world where sex is power and celebrity an obsession, and where politics and media jostle for influence.

Also starring Uma Thurman, Kristin Scott Thomas, Christina Ricci and Colm Meaney. BEL AMI is a timeless epic with a modern twist — a Dangerous Liaisons for a new generation.

Academy Award winner Rachel Portman (Emma) contributes the emotional but spirited original score.
Columbia Pictures opens BEL AMI nationwide on March 2.

A source tells HollywoodLife.com Summit has been sending out clips of the final ‘Twilight’ installment to song writers and producers.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn — Part 2 doesn’t hit theaters until Nov. 16, but the movie is going to be finished well before the premiere date. In fact, an insider tells HollywoodLife.com Summit is already working on the soundtrack for the highly-anticipated end of the series.

“Production has been sending out clips of the movie to different writers and producers and is asking them to write music for the movie,” the insider says. “The clips aren’t long — like 1-5 minutes — but they help the song writers get a feel for what they are looking for.”

Adds the source, “Normally established music producers aren’t clamoring to write for movie soundtracks, but the Twilightmusic is always epic, so it’s super competitive.”

As any fan of the Twilight series knows, the films always bring it in a big way when it comes to the music in the movies. Even though we’d love for Robert Pattinson to sing every single song, we’re glad to know Summit is reaching out to the best in the biz!

PP: Are either of you Twilight fans?

IM: Absolutely! We haven’t missed an opening weekend, and we’re really getting in to the books now. Leonard is especially grateful that Rob has brought the whole “shockingly pale” thing back to sexy. Leonard looks a bit like he was raised in caves.

Like you, we’re pop-culture obsessives.

That’s why from stars revealing baby bumps on live TV to the end (or near-end) of two of the most monumental movie franchises in recent memory and the deaths of a pair of the aughts’ quirkiest, most singular personalities, MTV News brought you everything you needed to know about the bold-faced names that mattered to you most in 2011.

We looked back at the many big stories of the year and came up with a list of our Top 10 Newsmakers of 2011:

2. “Breaking Dawn, Part 1″ Arrives

The second-to-last episode in the vamps-and-werewolves series was picked apart like a Thanksgiving turkey, with our experts delving into every scene in the trailer, every morsel of pre-release information on the now-famous wedding and birth scenes, the box-office records it smashed and each note of the soundtrack. Even with bloodsuckers, faeries, shape-shifters and zombies crawling out of every nook and cranny in Hollywood, the tale of Edward and Bella endured.

Previously it was download-only, but now you can get the CD. Carter Burwell is back as composer, and the track listing includes:

1. The Kingdom Where Nobody Dies
2. Cold Feet
3. What You See in the Mirror
4. Wedding Nightmare

This marks the second high-profile Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 must-have in stores today–the offiicial guide was released as well!

This week’s Twilight Tuesdays is dedicated to the 10 best “Twilight” moments of 2011. Selecting the list proved to be a daunting task, considering an action-packed year full of “Breaking Dawn – Part 1″ news, interviews, photos, videos and more. Among the biggest highlights were saucy honeymoon photos, much ado about a sex scene, the birth of a vampire/human hybrid baby and the return of the fan-created “tent city” in support of the L.A. premiere of “Part 1.”

10. Breaking Dawn Soundtrack Revealed
The vampire franchise has not only made its stars super famous, but an artist who lands on any of the films’ best-selling soundtracks can expect to a special boost and instant exposure to a massive fanbase. Emerging acts like Sleeping At Last and Christina Perri, as well as rising stars like Bruno Mars have earned featured spots on the compilations. But “Twilight” stars have also contributed material, with Mia Maestro’s “Carmen” making the cut.

9. The Twilight World Tour
There’s nothing like the glitz of a red-carpet premiere to bring out the best in everyone, particularly with regard to wardrobe choices. When the “Breaking Dawn” cast embarked upon a whirlwind tour of world premieres, Twilighters couldn’t wait to see who wore what. MTV News captured the glamorous looks in a handy photo gallery for repeated viewing pleasure.

8. Breaking Dawn Goes To Comic-Con
Those who’ve been following the franchise from the beginning will probably remember that it was at in 2008 San Diego Comic-Con that thousands of screaming fans descended upon the annual pop-culture convention and surprised convention-goers with their overwhelming enthusiasm. That first showing was such a huge success that going forward, Summit made Comic-Con a major priority with regard to promoting the films. At this summer’s event MTV News got several particularly newsy tidbits about Renesmee and Jacob’s imprinting, but we also really loved hearing Kristen Stewart talk about Bella’s wedding.

7. Our Extended Breaking Dawn Interview
We’ve had the pleasure of catching up with the castmembers several times this year, so it was hard to narrow down all of those great interviews into just one favorite. That said, we loved hearing Robert Pattinson talk about Stewart playing a vampire in “Breaking Dawn – Part 2.” And he really loved that she had to suffer through those uncomfortable contact lenses for the transition. “When she finally wore them and then was complaining about them every second of the day, it was kind of satisfying,” he smiled.

6. The First Photo
Any piece of “Twilight” news is arguably cause for a few screams of delight for Twi-hards. But when Summit released the first steamy, swoon-worthy photo of newlyweds Edward and Bella in bed together, we could practically hear the collective squeals and sighs from fans around the world. Talk about starting the New Year off with a bang.

5. The Trailer
This one really needs no introduction or explanation, but if there were squeals when the first photo was released, there may well have been mind-explosions and full-on fainting when we premiered the first full-length “Breaking Dawn” trailer during the ’11 MTV Movie Awards. The clip offered glimpses of the wedding, a shirtless Jacob Black, the Cullens, the wolf pack, a very unexpected and dangerous pregnancy … everything a Twilighter hoped for.

4. Fan-Made Reactions To The Trailer
When we asked “Twilight” fans to send in their reactions to the trailer, we couldn’t have anticipated all of the crying. Fans shed tears of joy, of course, and with those emotional outpourings clinched prominent placement on our list.

3. “MTV First: Breaking Dawn,” The Highlight Reel
As we’ve already mentioned, we were lucky to spend time with the cast this year. One of the best interviews we conducted was as part of our “MTV First” series. Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart and Taylor Lautner introduced an exclusive clip and let loose in a lively Q&A. We even put together a highlight reel from the extra-special event that includes making Stewart uncomfortable and Pattinson complaining about Lautner’s well-defined abs.

2. The L.A. Premiere
Excitement over the star-studded Los Angeles premiere of “Breaking Dawn – Part 1″ was so intense it seemed to rival major Hollywood events like the Golden Globes or the Academy Awards. Celebrity super fans begged to attend and came out in droves to the premiere, many with their children and teenagers in tow. The fans’ cheering was nonstop as the stars arrived on the black carpet, but it reached fever pitch with the arrival of Pattinson. Naturally, our quick chat with the heartthrob about all those sex scenes and their potential to give the film an R-rating made our Twilight Tuesdays “best of” list.

1. Fans Unite In “Tent City”
Make no mistake, we have high regard for Pattinson, Stewart, Lautner, director Bill Condon and everyone who worked on “Breaking Dawn,” but when it comes to the franchise’s key components, the fans are the real secret to its success. When we visited the dedicated, die-hard bunch that descended upon downtown Los Angeles to camp out, we were delighted by their enthusiasm. Gathered in appropriately named “tent city,” they amassed several days before the premiere in a show of ultimate fandom.
