Hey guys,
I was excited to read today that they've added Jim Broadbent to the cast of Indy IV. He said, "I’m doing a good cameo in the next Indiana Jones, so working with Mr. Spielberg should be an experience. I’m going to Yale. I’m a professor.” When it was suggested that he could be the new Marcus Brody, Jim replied, “That would do for me (laughs).” I love that guy.
Shia did a video for the official Indy website, which was nice.
And finally, I've been saving the clips below for a rainy day, so why not share them now? I loved the moment when John Williams talked about how he spends so much time working on the simplest bits of musical grammar to get them just right so that they seem "inevitable" and so natural as if "they've always been there."
In one example, he said, "I can't tell you how many permutations I would go through for a six-note motif like that." Then he mentioned how he "spends a lot of time on these little simplicities, which are often the hardest things to capture."
Same is true for writing, isn't it?
Like my other John Williams post, this really inspires me.
