Thom Yorke has written a song for New Moon, says Chris Weitz

Chris Weitz, who directs New Moon, the sequel to Twilight, said at Comic-Con in San Diego that Thom Yorke has written a new song for the film, which opens in American cinemas on 20 November. Weitz hasn't listened to it yet, but unless it's sounds of him belching, I think I'll put it in.¹

, Weitz said in an interview on 17 July, the week before Comic-Con. Since then Yorke has played new songs in public, in his solo set at Latitude in Suffolk last weekend.

Most of the music in New Moon will be newly written, around a score by Alexandre Desplat. Bon Iver's Justin Vernon is writing a song for it too, and Weitz is still hoping to get Kings of Leon. He says he picks the songs selfishly, from artists he and the cast and crew love.
