Director tells MTV News about film’s use of ‘Aroma-Scope’ technology.

Director Robert Rodriguez has made a career out of pushing the filmmaking envelope in various ways, from “Desperado” to “From Dusk Till Dawn” to his very successful “Spy Kids” franchise, which includes the first resurgent 3-D film, 2003′s “Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over.”

To mark the release of the fourth “Spy Kids” film, Rodriguez has added another level to the 3-D canon with “Spy Kids: All the Time in the World in 4D.” And what exactly makes a film 4-D? A little extra sensory overload provided by what Rodriguez calls an “Aroma-Scope.”

“Instead of just going 3-D like we did on the last one, we brought in 4-D, which is a very fun gimmick that I found in this old movie in the ’80s,” Rodriguez told MTV News of being inspired by John Waters’ use of Smell-O-Vision for 1981′s “Polyester.” “It’s kind of a scratch-and-sniff [experience] and you get to be really, almost like a video game, interactive with the movie. There are some really surprising smells, and some of the biggest laughs come from that.”

Rodriguez went on to say that the Aroma-Scope, which is a card with eight numbers on it that audience members are given with their 3-D glasses, provides viewers with a less passive and more interactive film-going experience.

“Even my own kids, people today are so interactive with gaming that to go and watch the movie feels so passive, so this really bridges the gap between the two,” he explained. “You’re watching the movie and then almost like video game numbers come up and you [scratch] the cards and smell almost exactly what the characters are smelling. It’s funny, the characters are all reacting to it, the adults are reacting to it — it’s really fun.”

‘It was beautiful. She did great. She’s singing great,’ film’s music composer T-Bone Burnett says.

We’ve seen snippets of the cinematic world of Panem — Jennifer Lawrence as blood-spattered, arrow-wielding Katniss crouching in the woods, Josh Hutcherson as her battle-worn fellow combatant Peeta lying in a clearing. What we haven’t yet checked out from “Hunger Games” — and why would we, with no trailer yet released and the film not hitting theaters until March 2012? — is anything to do with the score, an all-star collaboration between T-Bone Burnett and Danny Elfman.

But that musical omission will be changing soon, as Burnett not only told MTV News that filmmakers will be releasing “Hunger Games” tuneage soon, but that one track will feature Lawrence herself.

“Yeah, we did,” Burnett said when we asked if Lawrence had recorded anything in the studio. “And it was beautiful. She did great. She’s singing great. Killer actor too.”

Burnett’s confirmation follows a blog post in June from the website of Echo Mountain Recording Studio in North Carolina, detailing Burnett’s in-studio work with Lawrence. The post has since been deleted and Lawrence’s musical contribution has not been confirmed. After our chat with Burnett on Tuesday at the “Big Lebowski” reunion in New York, though (spoiler alert), we know the 21-year-old actress in fact recorded “Rue’s Lullaby,” a song Katniss sings after Rue, a young tribute in the Games, is mortally wounded.

“Yeah, we did that. We recorded that,” Burnett said about “Rue’s Lullaby.” “And it’ll be coming out soon.”

While Burnett and Elfman are ready to release Lawrence’s recording, the two Grammy winners are only just getting started on their “Hunger Games” work. What they have planned has blown Burnett away. “It’s 300 years in the future, so we can take all sorts of liberties,” Burnett said of the story. “[Elfman's] got an incredible space he’s put together. It’s the most incredible studio I’ve ever seen and he’s got drums and marimbas and a cimbalom — just crazy instruments everywhere. We’re just going to go over there and rock out. I think we’re just going to play together. We’re going to do it together.”

As the 10-year anniversary of the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks approaches, the remembrances have already begun pouring in. One story is particularly interesting: A woman claims that Oscar-winning actress Gwyneth Paltrow actually saved her life that fateful morning.

According to a story in The Morton Report, Lara Lundstrom Clarke had a chance encounter with Paltrow on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, which delayed her arrival at the Twin Towers. As a result, Clarke, who was 24 years old and working as an account manager at Baseline Financial Services at the time, was not at her desk on the 77th floor of Tower 2 of the World Trade Center at the time of the attacks.

After rollerblading before work and coming home to shower, Clarke says she dashed out the door and headed for the downtown 1 train to take to lower Manhattan. Pressed for time, she decided to jaywalk across 7th Avenue to get to her subway station.

Clarke then describes what happened next: "It was one of those mornings that felt good, you had a little skip in your step. What the heck — I always cut across 7th Avenue. Then all of the sudden a silver Mercedes SUV came barreling down towards me. I stopped and they screeched to a halt. Then it developed in to one of those classic who-goes-first situations. It got ridiculous. Then I made eye contact with the Mercedes driver. OMG it was Gwyneth Paltrow. I knew she lived down the street, so it made sense. She waved me across, I crossed and she continued on her way. At least if I was late for work I had a story to tell."

Due to this coincidental encounter, Clarke missed her train and had to wait for the next one. It was 8:47 a.m. when Clarke started up the subway steps into the concourse at the World Trade Center. The first plane hit, causing those below ground to wonder what had happened, if a bomb had exploded. The crowd on the subway steps hustled back downstairs. "It was total chaos being stuck in the basement of a building. All I could think about then was my parents and if I died, what it would do to them," Clarke says. "My heart was racing, I was paralyzed. I couldn’t even speak. ‘Get me outside, I need to be outside.’"

When she was finally able to exit, Clarke started walking uptown, and heard the second plane hit at 9:02 a.m. She said she looked back and saw her actual office explode.  It was only later, at home, that she learned that most of her coworkers had survived, due to the angle of the wing as it sheared through the floor. Only four people out of the staff of 170 died that day.

The jaywalking moment with Paltrow, whose movie Sliding Doors has an eerie similarity to this real-life story, impacted Clarke’s life immeasurably. "If I had made that train I would have been at my desk on the 77th floor of 2 World Trade Center," says Lundstrom. And who knows what would have happened?

A publicist for Paltrow, 38, has confirmed the account, adding that Gwyneth is "deeply moved" by the story.
