Interview: Brian Tyler (2015) Part 1 of 2

Having, not one, but two $1 Billion + box office smashes in less than two months, Brian Tyler shares his perspective on how long one can bathe in the afterglow of such success. He also talks about two of his recent forays into sports via his NFL theme for ESPN and, most recently, his new theme for the USGA's 2015 US Open. Finally, Christopher Coleman puts the ultimate question to him, "If you had to pick just one, which franchise would you choose to write a score for, Star Wars or Star Trek?"
