Christopher McQuarrie is one of us. He, too, was drawn to the holy mountain… in his case, somewhat literally. The veteran Mission: Impossible writer/director, who has in many ways taken up Steven Spielberg’s mantle as a composer of sheer, jaw-dropping spectacle, joined me for a fascinating and insightful conversation about why he loves Spielberg/Williams, why the era in which this duo started was vastly more free, and how drastically Hollywood scoring has changed. But mostly… he talked about Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
