Chris Weitz, director of Twilight sequel New Moon, has confirmed Radiohead frontman Thom Yorke will appear on the film's soundtrack.

Weitz told HitFix.com at the Comic-Con in San Diego on Thursday that Yorke had written a song for him, which he said he would listen to on Friday for the first time. It will almost certainly appear on the soundtrack.

"Unless it's sounds of him belching, I think I'll put it in," Weitz told the website.

This won't be the first time Radiohead's music has been used in the Twilight franchise. "15 Step" plays during the end credits to last year's Twilight. It does not, however, appear on the soundtrack.

Weitz also said Bon Iver will appear on the New Moon soundtrack, since the man born Justin Vernon has also written something for the film.

"I selfishly want to put songs in by artists I love," Weitz said. "And some the cast and crew also happen to love.

"I think [Bon Iver] is fantastic. He says he wrote [the song] for the film, but who ever knows if it might just be something laying around in his cupboard."

Weitz said Band Of Skulls will also appear on the New Moon soundtrack, and he still wants Kings Of Leon on it.

New Moon opens in theatres on Nov. 20.
