After his 64-year-long career, beloved composer John Williams is ready to retire.
After 60 years of creating the soundtracks to our lives, legendary composer John Williams says that he might be ready to hang up his baton.
According to an interview with the Associated Press, Williams says that he is currently putting the final touches on his Indiana Jones 5 score, and believes it may be his final film.
“At the moment I’m working on Indiana Jones 5, which Harrison Ford—who’s quite a bit younger than I am—I think has announced will be his last film,” Williams said. “So, I thought: If Harrison can do it, then perhaps I can, also.”
The 90-year-old composer is preparing to end his film career, although he plans to continue writing music specifically for the concert hall. Williams says that scoring a major film takes six months, which “at this point in life is a long commitment to me.”
