Have heard nothing about John Williams or the LSO's return to Indiana Jones but it is still early at this point.

At least Steven Spielberg is directing it, early on there was some indication he might not and old georgie would direct it himself.

having Kathleen Kennedy who worked on e.t. as the producer is also a very good idea. as well as it being shot on film, any dumbass who considers himself a cinematorapher knows HD video does not reach the quality of 35mm motion picture film and is not a lasting format for archiving for the future.

A while back I attended a meeting of the Canadian Society of Cinematographers. The pupose of the meeting was to debate 35mm versus Digital. The camera that was used to shoot Episode II was there (yes, one of the actual cameras), and they showed footage from the Stargate TV series shot with a traditional 35mm rig and the Sony/Panavision HDW-F900.

The general consensus was that apart from the reds being a bit overblown in HD, there was not that much of a discernable difference, and any distance between the two was rapidly closing with the advent of better lenses and other technical improvements.

My point? No one would be criticizing HD if the Prequels were any good. If the story was rich and compelling, we'd all be praising the camera and excitedly looking toward the future. The fact that EP's II-III were shot in HD just gives Fanboys one more thing to rag on.

Holding on to film is noble, but to deny the possibility of HD is folly.
