Composer John Williams Shares Beautiful New Theme From INDIANA JONES 5 at the Hollywood Bowl
Award-winning composer John Williams is known for so many of the greatest movie scores of all time. He recently conducted a concert at The Hollywood Bowl and revealed a new theme he wrote for Indiana Jones 5, the long-brewing sequel which is due to hit theaters next year, and which Williams has said will be his last film score.
The film will see Harrison Ford reprise the starring role, and he will be accompanied in the cast by Phoebe Waller-Bridge (Fleabag, Solo: A Star Wars Story), Mads Mikkelsen (Rogue One: A Star Wars Story), Boyd Holbrook (Logan), Thomas Kretschmann (King Kong), Shaunette Renée Wilson (The Resident), and Antonio Banderas (Pain and Glory). The new movie is being helmed by James Mangold (Logan), who took over for Steven Spielberg, and Williams is back, as no Indiana Jones movie would be complete without a John Williams score.
At the Hollywood Bowl event, Williams debuted “Helena's Theme” from Indiana Jones 5, which is the character played by Waller-Bridge. Williams teases that her character is an adventurous "femme fatale." A video of the event was shared by Charles Ozeas (via Polygon) on YouTube.
It’s a beautiful score, and it’s so awesome to see Williams up on the stage bringing it to life. Check it out below, and watch Indiana Jones 5 in theaters on June 30, 2023.
