The Twilight Saga is getting serious about music. They’ve hired Oscar winning composer Howard Shore to provide the score for its next installment, The Twilight Saga Eclipse, according to Movie Score.

Shore is probably best known for his masterful, award-winning work on The Lord of the Rings trilogy. More recently he provided the music for Mel Gibson’s upcoming thriller Edge of Darkness.

So far, the music has really been a non-factor in the Twilight series. They’ve already gone through two different composers. Carter Burwell scored the first movie in 2008 and Alexandre Desplat handled New Moon, but I doubt you noticed. Go ahead, hum the Twilight theme. You can’t, it doesn’t really have one. Maybe Shore can change that, and inject some sort of bombastic musical life into this mega-franchise.
