The Walt Disney Studios has brought online a new featurette about Indiana Jones composer John Williams. Titled “The Final Score,” the featurette talks about the composer’s 42 year/5-film history with the iconic franchise.
The video, which you can watch using the player below, includes footage of the legendary five-time Oscar winner’s surprise performance conducting three of his compositions from the score of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny (read our review) before the U.S. Premiere June 14.
The selections included the renowned “Raiders March,” which he wrote for the first film in the series, and “Helena’s Theme,” a track he composed for Phoebe Waller-Bridge‘s character in the new film.
Directed by James Mangold, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, starring Harrison Ford and Phoebe Waller-Bridge, will open in theaters on June 30.
Harrison Ford returns to the role of the legendary hero archaeologist for this highly-anticipated final installment of the iconic franchise – a big, globe-trotting, rip-roaring cinematic adventure.
Starring along with Ford and Waller-Bridge are Antonio Banderas (Pain and Glory), John Rhys-Davies (Raiders of the Lost Ark), and Shaunette Renée Wilson (Black Panther).
Also starring are Thomas Kretschmann (Das Boot), Toby Jones (Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy), Boyd Holbrook (Logan), Olivier Richters (Black Widow), Ethann Isidore (Mortel), and Mads Mikkelsen (Another Round).
The film was directed by James Mangold (Ford v Ferrari, Logan) from a script by Jez Butterworth & John-Henry Butterworth and David Koepp and James Mangold.
Based on characters created by George Lucas and Philip Kaufman, the film is produced by Kathleen Kennedy, Frank Marshall and Simon Emanuel, with Steven Spielberg and George Lucas serving as executive producers.
John Williams, who has scored each Indy adventure since the original Raiders of the Lost Ark in 1981, has once again composed the score.
The movie is rated PG-13 for sequences of violence and action, language and smoking.
