Legendary composer John Williams is largely regarded as the greatest composer in the history of cinema, but he may retire in Hollywood after Indiana Jones 5.
John Williams told the Associated Press that he could be moving towards just performing live instead of scoring massive blockbusters. Wiliams has been making hits for six decades now, and a change of pace could be something he needs for himself.
“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 AP notes that Harrison Ford himself hasn’t said that publicly, but Williams just did, and so we’ll concentrate on that.

A “Star Wars” film demands six months of work, which he notes, “at this point in life is a long commitment to me.” Instead, Williams is devoting himself to composing concert music, including a piano concerto he’s writing for Emanuel Ax.
The composer himself is 90 years old and wants time for other pursuits.
