Director Danny Boyle tapped Indian composer A.R. Rahman again to score "127 Hours" after the wild success they had together with "Slumdog Millionaire," for which Rahman won two Oscars (he took both of 2009's Best score and Best song).
Sheila Roberts interviewed the hot composer for Collider about this new found friendship with Boyle, and scoring his latest film -- staring James Franco as a man who must resort to the most drastic measures to survive alone in a Utah canyon.
Certain things are done intentionally opposite -- like there's no sound at the end or synthesizers or all that stuff. Anything that drowns the movie, no. Anything that makes you sit up and watch it, yes. So, some are expecting a very sad theme going on. We didn't want to do that. It would have been a beautiful moment in the movie but it would have brought the movie down.

Sheila Roberts sat down with Mel Gibson recently to talk about his new film Edge of Darkness which looks really fantastic and during the interview some comments about Mad Max 4 came up;
Q: Have you talked to George Miller about Mad Max Fury Road?
Mel: Oh yeah. I’ve talked to George. Yeah, we’ve had a good chin wag about it. We talk all the time anyway, George and I. So I’m abreast of that. I know he’s been trying to do this for years, the fourth installment. At one point, I was involved, then it fell to bits and then this and that.
