SK: Whats the status now on MAD MAX 4? Is he still on schedule to make it?
JP: You know, I dont know. I think so. I think George is just coming out of what was an incredibly hard process for him. He took this film on not knowing how he was going to make it and he had to figure out how to make it. Its not like any animation film youve seen. Its not produced or directed the same way. A large part of it is that its a live action director making an animation movie.
He probably just wants to have a sit down for a little while. I know he wants to make it. The script is incredible! Ive read it. I hope its sooner rather than later but at the same time I think he needs a rest before we can ask him that question.
SK: Are you still officially on board to score MAD MAX 4?
JP: Youre never really official but having been hired for it four years ago and then getting to the end of HAPPY FEETI think George enjoyed the process of making the music. I think he felt that I was a collaborator who was almost worthy of him. Id hope that he would come back to me with the idea of doing MAD MAX 4 when he does it.
SK: When will you start work on THE BOURNE ULTIMATUM (2007)?
JP: Probably not until next year. Were probably scoring, I think, in May.
