Jurassic World Rebirth composer on following in John Williams' footsteps

There, 100 members of the film orchestra await him. Moments later, unleashed by a sweeping gesture from Desplat, dramatic music fills the air.
Recording is in full swing for the soundtrack of Jurassic World Rebirth, which hits cinemas on July 2.
After the two-part Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2010/11), Desplat has again taken on the challenge of creating music for a film series with an original score composed by the legendary John Williams, famed for the Star Wars and Jaws theme tunes, among many others.
'There's a moment of panic because you know that you're taking over,' says Desplat, himself a fervent admirer of Williams, who he calls 'a b****y genius'. 'It's hard to come after him.'

Williams' famous theme also features in the seventh part of the series that began in 1993 with Steven Spielberg's Jurassic Park.

Children who vape are 3 times more likely to become smokers, new study suggests
Children who vape are more likely to go on to be smokers, be diagnosed with asthma and have poor mental health, new analysis suggests. Advertisement The largest global review on vaping in young people found 'consistent evidence' that children who vape are three times more likely to go on to become smokers. The study also pointed to links between vaping and increased odds of respiratory illness and substance abuse, including drinking and marijuana use. Experts from the University of York and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM), both in the UK, analysed all available reviews on youth vaping – known as an umbrella review. It included 56 reviews on 384 studies. Of these, 21 looked at the use of e-cigarettes among young people and later cigarette smoking. Disposable vapes for sale at a shop in London.
