John Williams will retire from doing movie scores.

I would like to be upset, but I can’t think of a single way to be so without also being a jackass: “During an interview with The Associated Press, the legendary film composer revealed his plan to bow out after the upcoming Indiana Jones sequel.” John Williams is 90 years old. The article notes that he’d like to work on his own stuff. His awards shelves are probably made out of reinforced titanium. I named the opera house in FROZEN DREAMS after him. What on earth does he possibly have left to prove?

  1. It saddens me to suppose that John Williams does not regard his film scores as “his own work”. Surely it is what he will be remembered for.

    1. In the end, it must be fit to someone else’s screen timing and editing. I’m curious what an *un-supervised* JW would come up with.
