There seems to be more use of existing songs these days, but there's lots of original music in films. I wonder what the composers get paid. John Williams must have made a lot from all the blockbusters he's done. There must be issues around rights for existing songs. I think in some cases they can't get permission, so may get someone to write something in a similar mood. Music can really affect us and it's hard to imagine some scenes without it.

The sheer amount of music John Williams created for all the films he worked with is insane. I'd love to see one of the concerts that take place occasionally, some are specific to say Star Wars, where clips would be shown while the music plays, but there are also mixed ones that shows multiple films in one show.
There's something actually, I never knew this, but the singer from Toto, is the son of John Williams.
