Alex 2,835 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Well, JW has completed the Star Wars Saga, arguably the greatest legacy he will leave. Where does he go from here? Obviously he’ll keep writing music, but will we ever hear another score from the Maestro again? I imagine Indy 5 will be the next potential score (if that film ever gets made). What do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nils 35 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I’d be surprised if we don’t get at least a couple more Spielberg/Williams collaborations. And hopefully other film scores as well. Will 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bollemanneke 3,343 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Am I the only one who realises he's 87 and that 'a couple of scores' are therefore highly unlikely? And do we really need Indy 5? Wasn't 4 bad enough? Jurassic Shark and Naïve Old Fart 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,310 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 It's amazing that Indy 5 hasn't been delayed yet. Spielberg must be confident he can make the release date, even though the film seems stuck in development hell. Supposedly Pinewood is booked for May onwards but Koepp being brought back onboard fills me with dread. But yes, Indy 5. If Williams is still healthy and able this time next year, he should be deep into writing within 12 months. It would be a fitting encore to the final act of Star Wars to also close off his collaboration with Spielberg 40 years after scoring the original Raiders. It's too romantic to resist!

In this stage of his career and life, Williams clearly excels more at dramas and whimsical Spielberg movies, that require more quality than quantity. And I'd rather have Williams do more quality, than spread himself thin in movies that expect him to recapture the vigor of 35 years ago in 2-3 hours of music, that will eventually get edited to fuck anyway. Disney will do the same to Indy as it did to Star Wars. Cut off the balls and put them in a handbag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post karelm 2,913 Posted December 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted December 23, 2019 JW's mom lived to be 97 without "being sick a day in her life", dad lived to be 80. By all accounts, he will never retire because he is doing what he would do if he retired which is compose. So as long as he is physically able to, we will get new music from him and that could be for a few more years. Sure his pace has slowed and maybe he would prefer to do more personal projects but I still think we'll have a few more years of new music from our Maestro. I heard from many in the SWIX session that his mind, aptitude, endurance was the same as its been for decades. crlbrg, Nils, St0rMl0rD and 5 others 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete 907 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 I really really wish his assistant would accidentally make his schedule publicly available on Google docs. Would give anything to know how his next few months and beyond are mapped out. Certainly that rumor posted earlier this year that he would "retire completely" in the new year was bullocks. Not that that's news. Indy 5 or no Indy 5, I'm just always excited for new music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard from many in the SWIX session that his mind, aptitude, endurance was the same as its been for decades. Exactly. He might be 87, but he's a sprightly 87-year-old (my own granddad passed at 86, in considerable worse shape the last couple of years of his life). More like 77 in 'physical age' if judging by his appearances lately. So I'm optimistic and hoping for another whole decade of new Williams music in some form or another. He'll be like Mozart, composing on his death bed and relating his notes to some Salieri (William Ross?). Let's hope he'll be like Portuguese film director Manuel de Oliveira, who directed films untill the very end, at age 106(!).

Bryant Burnette 654 Posted December 23, 2019 Share Posted December 23, 2019 Indiana Jones 5 is never happening, at least not with Spielberg, Ford, or Williams. Williams might keep scoring Spielberg's stuff for a while, but I kind of wonder if even that is going to happen. So my suspicion is that we get one, maybe two more scores, a handful of concert pieces, and nothing much else. Naturally, I hope for a dozen more scores, three handfuls of concert pieces, and an autobiography. That'd be cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
