Exclusive Interview With 'The CO'

We had the chance to talk to 'The CO' about writing a song for the last movie of the 'Twilight Saga'. Here's our interview. Enjoy!

GossipDance: How much did you know about The Twilight Saga before you got the chance to write the song to the soundtrack?

The CO: We have all seen more of the films and love them! the story is incredibly complicated and intriguing...and just like being a musician, it's pretty easy to get hooked on.

GD: When you wrote the song, did you have any special inspiration except for the new movie?(Breaking Dawn Part 2)

TC: We really wanted to get into the heads of the characters...imagining what they must feel at the arc of this story...having not seen it, we really had to go deep and just find the emotion inside of us knowing what was coming next based on the books.

GD: Have you listened to any of the other soundtracks from The Twilight Saga before?

TC: THEY ARE INSANELY GOOD. some of the best soundtracks i think are out right now. i was most hooked on the last two...the lykke li track "possibility" was one early on that pulled me in. also bruno mars' track from the last film blew my mind. music makes or breaks a film...and these have always been top notch.

GD: Have you met any of the actors from the movies?

TC: Nope

GD: Do you have any favourite of the characters in the movies?

TC: I'm drawn to Bella and really even Edward. Mainly how Bella has to go through this process of piecing together this love that isn't conventional.

GD: Can you tell me a little bit about what it is to work with this project?

TC: Well, it's honestly an honor. Not many people get the chance at all. We worked really closely with the people who do the music for the film to come up with a new idea of something that tied the films together.It was a really freeing experience...to take a piece of music and create a new idea around it...a new song...a closing remark.

GD: Tell us a little about how The CO came to be.

TC: We've been together for 9 years now. we all met in Nashville and love what we do! we only play/sing music we believe in...and a lot of times that takes a while to get to.

GD: Did you get any particular instructions from the producers how they wanted the song to be?

TC: No we were told by the music dept to just take it and interpret it---they let us make it our own.

GD: What is your future projects?

TC: We wrapped up a new album this year and are planning on releasing that early next year. til then we will release a few singles and possibly a winter EP.

GD: Have you had any more offers to appear on movie soundtracks?

TC: Not on a soundtrack yet, but we have had a lot of success with ABC/ABC Family on shows like 'Jane By Design' as well as working promo spots with companies like NASDAQ.

GD: Do you think this experience will make a difference to your career?

TC: Anything that can get you in front of a new group of music lovers is always a good thing. We think the Twilight community of fans is super special and in a lot of ways like our fans who we lovingly call our COhorts. So yes, of course it will make a difference! :)

GD: What music do you listen to yourselves?

TC: We love A LOT of variety....anything from Ryan Adams to Fleetwood Mac to Lana del Rey to Gregory Alan Isakov.

GD: How did you guys come up with the name "The CO"?

TC: We wanted to make a name that let the listener make the meaning...or when they saw our name they think of the music. We have some quirky things that make it a fun meaning for us...for instance, we really love Colorado...and the abbreviation for it is CO.

GD: Are their any musicians (past or present) that you especially feel inspired by?

TC: Johnny Cash...Ryan Adams...Ryan Tedder...Neil Young...The GREATS!

GD: Any end notes that you'd like to add? follow us on twitter @TheCOMusic or find us on YouTube at youtube.com/thecomusic or on Facebook at facebook.com/TheCOmusic. You can ALSO grab 18 of our songs for FREE including "Safe With Me" at our website at www.thecomusic.com

Ashley Greene In 'Riviera San Diego' Magazine

There are the highest-grossing films of all time, like Gone With the Wind, Avatar and Titanic, and then there are the highest-grossing film franchises, like Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, Harry Potterand Christopher Nolan’s Batman. And there’s the series that could very well eclipse them all this month—The Twilight Saga. While this final installment of the vampire franchise has secured megastardom for some of its cast, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn—Part II (opening Nov. 16) will complete Stephenie Meyers’ book series and solidify yet another star of universal proportion, Ashley Greene. Greene’s already been through the typical Hollywood initiations: She’s got almost 2 million Twitter followers, topless pictures of her have surfaced on the Net and she’s dated a Jonas brother. Yet when I sat with the 25-year-old beauty in the Royal Suite of midtown Manhattan’s Palace Hotel, I met a grounded, street- and school-smart girl from Jacksonville, Fla., who likes to bake and watch Gator football games with her dad.

And while her striking good looks are a match for her strong sense of self—there isn’t anything typically Hollywood about the real Greene. The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn director Bill Condon agrees that Greene’s star quality looms large and is driven by her timeless beauty. Condon minimized the Tinkerbell-like elements of her character, Alice Cullen, Edward’s clairvoyant and immortal sister, for the last two films. “In Breaking Dawn, we changed up Ashley’s pixieish hairstyle to reflect a more Audrey Hepburn-type look, which I think fit her really well,” he says.

“As naturally effervescent as she can be, she also has a great ‘Old Hollywood’ elegance which we wanted to bring out.” As a victim on the hit TV series Crossing Jordan, Greene’s very first acting role wasn’t quite so glamorous, “I didn’t really study acting in school,” says Greene. “I got this role and my mom said, ‘Ashley! You have to tell me when you die!’ It was so funny because I didn’t think about it, but I guess as a mother, seeing your daughter get brutally murdered is not fun.” Although she’s now the new face of Mark cosmetics and DKNY, Greene’s modeling career didn’t come easy.

“I am clearly not tall enough,” says the 5-foot-5 Greene, of her attempt at modeling at 17, although her mother encouraged her to build her confidence by taking modeling/etiquette classes. Eventually that led to a commercial class, and then an acting class, where her teacher’s fervor for the craft ignited her own. “I fell in love with it, and my teacher was so passionate about acting and teaching, I saw how in love he was with the whole world.” Greene went on to set her sights on role models like Audrey Hepburn (“I mean, I’ve seen Breakfast at Tiffany’sa million times and I never get tired of it!”).

With her distinctive features she could very well take on a modern-day version of Holly Golightly, as Condon pointed out, but as far as a part she’d truly love to re-create? “Marie Antoinette. I love period pieces,” she says. “Or an action film that’s female-driven.” And the resolute Greene means James Bond, not a Bond girl! Although it’s been four years since the first movie was released and a year since Breaking Dawn-Part 1, the craze of Twilight has not dwindled. Indeed, the fanatical “Twi-hard” fans the films have fashioned sometimes seem scarier than the vampire folklore they obsess over. A fan site for Greene popped up before the first film even came out. “We hadn’t done anything yet and the fans were so invested [in the books].” The attention has been the only thing that has scared her during the past four years. “I was in Sweden touring with Rob [Pattinson] last year, and we literally had to be ushered out the back because fans got so excited it became a safety hazard. They were pushing on barriers and literally they grabbed us and yanked us. It was a little frightening.” Greene, however, sensed Twilight would be huge long before the first film came out. “Two days before I left to start filming, me and one of my best friends Katie were sitting at our place and she gave me a card and I started crying because I thought, this is going to change the rest of my life.”

Greene uses that intuition to push herself with out-of-the-box roles, as she did in the recently released comedyButter, opposite the all-star cast of Jennifer Garner, Olivia Wilde and Hugh Jackman. Butter demonstrates Greene’s comedic side. “You have to do things that scare you. Butter’s amazing—so smart and funny. I was a little out of my element.” By “out of her element” she means playing a disaffected teen who gets physical in an engrossing lesbian sex scene with Wilde. Garner, who plays her mother, was maternal off the set, too. “When I got there I was intimidated, but Jennifer came right up to me and was so sweet and really welcoming, so thank God for her.” As much as she is defining herself as Hollywood’s latest dream girl, Greene aspires to a deeper acting path and is drawn to strong female actresses. “I love Cate Blanchett,” she says. “She’s extremely classy and has this knack for taking on roles and being very, very strong, but also embedding vulnerability. She has this relatable quality. I like the path she chose.” Greene’s shown she’s taking more leaps with next year’s CBGB film about the legendary New York City live-music venue. “Courage isn’t the lack of fear, it’s acting in spite of it,” she says. “As human beings we’re a work in progress and you learn things about yourself every day. You have to constantly keep working towards a better version of you. You have to look at the positives because it’s a hard industry.” Her love affair with New York City inspires her positivity and challenges her to take on more:

“I like the energy—it’s so contagious and I feel like you just have to be productive here. It’s very artistic and inspiring.” As far as her relationships have gone, since she’s hit the big leagues, Greene looks to her parents to keep her grounded. “The greatest thing about my parents is that they love me and support me. You need someone who is going to help you make that better version of yourself. I need someone who is strong but supportive and who loves me—someone who isn’t afraid to call me on my sh*t.” One of the benefits of living a bicoastal life is the exposure to all sorts of people, men in particular. “I would love to date someone outside the industry,” says Greene. But, she points out, “It’s hard to relate to someone who hasn’t gone through the same thing as you.” While Greene is down-to-earth, there is nothing half-baked about her. She’s clearheaded about her fashion choices and knows exactly what colors look good on her, from her nails and lips to her uniform of a gray T-shirt, jean shorts and black flats paired with a great necklace and handbag. “I pack all these amazing clothes, and that’s what I wear [instead]. My friends from Jacksonville could tell me what I’m going to wear on any given day.”

Greene stays connected to her pals back home and often meets her parents, who came up to Savannah, Ga., every weekend while she was filming CBGB. “We baked all the time,” she says, using the cookbook her co-star, Alan Rickman, gave her. How does she stay connected to them all while traveling the globe? “‘I love you!’ I think it’s very important to say it to friends and family as often as possible. ‘I don’t like you right now, but I love you.’”

20 'Twilight' Things To Do According To 'Fandango' Before The Big Finale

From source: Fandango
1. Carve a Twilight pumpkin! If you have a hidden talent for this traditional Halloween pastime, you’ll want to check out some amazing carved pumpkin photos at Hypable. They recently launched a fandom pumpkin carving contest, and although it’s too late to enter, you can vote for your favorite one and spark some inspiration for your own holiday décor. The voting period is from now until Oct. 27.

2. Watch the premiere Although it’s too late to register for Fan Camp, you can still plan on attending The Breaking Dawn Part 2 premiere, which will be held at Nokia Theatre at LA Live on Monday, Nov. 12. Plan for long lines, standing-room only, and a chance to see all the Twilight celebs on the red carpet one last time. If you can’t fly out to L.A., don’t fret. We’ll be sure to have footage and exclusive video from the premiere.

3. Get your tickets If you’re planning on watching Breaking Dawn Part 2 opening night, getting your tickets in advance is an absolute no brainer! Gather your viewing party early to avoid sold out showtimes and sitting by yourself. Some theaters, such as AMC and ArcLight Cinemas, allow you to reserve seating – an extra convenience if all your friends on Facebook are tagging along.

4. Watch the Twilight marathon What?! You haven’t watched the previous four Twilight films yet? And you call yourself a fan? There’s still plenty of time, and if you’re up for a theatrical experience, the Twilight Marathon is the way to go. You’ll see all four previous films on Nov. 15, plus extra exclusive footage (at participating theaters), and then the final Breaking Dawn to top it off.

5. Or, just watch Breaking Dawn Pt. 1 If you don’t have time for an entire marathon, re-watching The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 is the next best thing. Part 1 serves as a good refresher for key events, plots and characters, and when you watch Part 2, it’ll be like picking up right where you left off. Check your local theaters if they’re showing Part 1; some are even coupling the film with a meal plan: The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Feast.
