I have to ask you, Alan, about the live-action Beauty and the Beast.
MENKEN: They’re editing it now.
Are they just taking all the songs from the movie?
MENKEN: The songs from the movie are in. Actually, none of the songs from the Broadway made the film. I would’ve taken “If I Can’t Love Her,” but the problem is that was for a very specific moment to end Act I of the Broadway show. There’s a moment where the Beast drives her away and he regrets that. But I think Bill [Condon] built a more promising moment for the film, which is when he lets her go and he watches her leave. And as he watches her leave, he sings.
MUSKER: So you wrote a new song?
MENKEN: A new song with Tim Rice. There’s actually three new songs written for the movie. It’s called “Forever More,” and there’s also a song called “Days in the Sun.”
MUSKER: Is it based on any of the melodies from the film?
MENKEN: Similar. Sort of a cousin of “If I Can’t Love Her.” So yes, there’s new songs and I’ll be scoring that in the spring. It’s exciting.
I mean, we knew, but I'm still sad that NONE of the songs made it... I was really hoping for "Home". Oh well.
