"John Williams, the man with more Academy Award nominations than any other living human being, and the winner of 21 Grammy’s, 7 BAFTA’s, 4 Golden Globes and 5 Oscars. He is the undisputed master of melodies. John Williams has been scoring films and TV shows since 1958 and has so far 137 titles to his name. Doing a top 10 of this man’s masterful work is not for the faint hearted."
It appears that legendary film composer, John Williams, may be stepping away from scoring motion picture sooner than we'd like.
Star Wars fans, rejoice! John Williams is coming out of retirement to compose the theme music for the upcoming Obi-Wan Kenobi TV show.
WGTC: “John Williams, composer extraordinaire, has seen an early cut of Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker, and he appears to be pleased with the outcome.”
John Williams is simply.. a master.
Has that man done anything wrong?
He's definitely a legend. I'd have to put Hans Zimmer right up there with him, though. Williams benefits from his work being featured in some of the most iconic films of the past. Not to take away from him...just saying.
I'd have to disagree too. I think the Superman theme should be higher up for the iconic status of it alone. And I would have to put Jaws first. Two note motif that reaches an iconic status, perfectly captures the tone and incites fear in thousands just from hearing it.....that is absolute genius.
But definitely, Hans Zimmer I'd put right up there with him. And Danny Elfman wouldn't be too far behind them for me.
