When you think of Hollywood movie premieres, what comes to mind? Glamorous stars? Yes. Flashy outfits? Sure. A 91-year-old maestro pulling off a surprise performance? Not so much. π€·ββοΈ So, how did John Williams, the music wizard behind the Indiana Jones franchise, shake things up at the recent premiere of “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny”?
Imagine the scene: Spielberg, the man behind the lens of our beloved Indy franchise, on stage, appreciating the creator George Lucas, and the always cool Harrison Ford. Then, suddenly, the curtain rises to reveal the “glue of all five films”, John Williams and a full-blown orchestra. π΅

But let’s pump the brakes for a minute. Williams and his surprise performance are indeed legendary, but what about the upcoming film?
