Green Day’s new music video for “The Forgotten,” the first video from The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2 soundtrack, including footage from the film, will make its premiere tonight, Oct. 30, at 6:55pm ET/PT on MTV and MTV.com. This marks Green Day’s first contribution to a Twilight soundtrack.

The soundtrack to Breaking Dawn Part 2 from Summit Entertainment, along with Chop Shop Records and Atlantic Records, will be released on Tuesday, Nov. 13, three days before the film’s premiere on Friday, Nov. 16. The film is the final installment in The Twilight Saga.

“When we were asked to be part of the Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2 soundtrack, we readily agreed, because the films are an insane cultural phenomenon,” Green Day bassist Mike Dirnt told Yahoo! “We have always been impressed with the way the Twilight soundtracks are so carefully curated.”

Other acts featured on the Breaking Dawn Part 2 soundtrack include Passion Pit, Ellie Goulding, Paul McDonald and wife/series star Nikki Reed, Feist, The Boom Circuits, POP ETC, Iko, A Boy and His Kite, James Vincent McMorrow, Reeve Carney, Carter Burwell and Twilight soundtrack alums St. Vincent (who contributed to the New Moon album) and Christina Perri (who previously appeared on the Breaking Dawn — Part 1 soundtrack).
