After a bumpy — and highly criticized — second season, “Glee” looks to be back on track, and according to series star Cory Monteith, a lot of that has to do with how the show is choosing its music.
What kind of music are they giving you for your character?
Oh, man I’m so excited. There is one song that I cover that is typically like a female vocalized-pop song from the ’80s, and it has been pared down into this acoustic-slow-piano wonderful ballad, almost. They have done some really great stuff with music this season especially. It’s really influenced and inspired by the storylines. Whereas before, last season, we did tribute episodes.
Are you saying last season they did a lot of stuff that was more current just because they could?
Right. I feel that in the second season we got the opportunity to do whatever artist we wanted to cover because the show was big, and so there was a lot of very kind of larger-than-life numbers and things.
There is a lot of talk about what happens to characters like yours, that are seniors, after they graduate this year.
It’s been, you know, discussed that “Glee” cast members will graduate, but I really don’t know when. It is kind of a great ride for me right now so I’m kind of excited to be, you know, “You want to make me a two-year senior? OK, cool.” If I graduate, you know, then I move on to do other things.
Do you have any plans for after “Glee”?
Yeah, I’m producing a film for Fox. Now it is a script in development. I’m one of two producers, and it would be like an ensemble workplace comedy — that’s what I’d call it. It is very exciting. It’s in development now. There are a couple other indie movies and things like that. I’m trying to do as much as I can without kind of detracting from what I’m doing on the show.
