Pulled from the oven just right. Trustworthy, fact-dense, deeply satisfying.
Summary
John Williams, now 94, composed the score for Steven Spielberg's "Disclosure Day," marking their 30th collaboration spanning over 50 years since "The Sugarland Express" (1974). While Williams hinted three years ago that "The Fabelmans" might be his final score, Spielberg convinced him to take on this project after Williams suggested four other composers. Spielberg has already discussed their 31th collaboration, though uncertainty remains about Williams' future in film scoring.
