Yeah, we had a thread a few months ago. That and "The Fablemans" are his last two films.

Understandable - but still a major loss for film score lovers.

A sad moment but what a wonderful career. We are blessed that he continued scoring into his 90s.

Well, on the one hand he's not the John Williams of the 1970's and 1980's anymore score wise, and on the other he said he cant' do scores where he's taking six months out of a year of his life to do, so … I guess I'd b way way way more disappointed if he had retired in, say, 1988.

He'll probably go with Thomas Newman or Zimmer (availabilities depending). Though maybe after working with David Newman recently, he'll consider him, too. But Conrad Pope should be considered.

Who Will Steven Spielberg pick to score his next film after The Fabelmans??? As he was mentioned in another thread, why not blow the cobwebs off Cliff ( who he / already retired) Eidelman.

Far too many of my favorite composers ended their careers because they, well, died. I am happy Mr. Williams is drawing the curtain by choice. While he isn't my favorite composer, he is my favorite LIVING composers and composed some of my all time favorite scores. I'd venture to say my generation's interest in film scores bloomed because of his work. I'm glad he's gong out on an Indy score - one of his most iconic film series.

I'd venture to say my generation's interest in film scores bloomed because of his work. That's true for me. His mid-late 1970s scores are what sparked my interest. My first five LP purchases were Jaws, Jaws 2, Star Wars, Close Encounters and Superman. Bless the man. I'll chime in and say it's most definitely true for me too. It all began with Star Wars, then Close Encounters and Superman. IMO, he's the greatest film composer we've ever had (subjective, I know). How truly blessed we've all been.

I'm feeling a bit of deja vu regarding the discussion of who should take over as Spielberg's film scorer. This was a topic in the question-and-answer section of the Film Score Monthly magazine 30 years ago in a 1992 issue. It's pretty amazing that this is still a viable question in 2022!
