( CNN ) -- J.J. Abrams wo n't say much about the next `` Star Wars '' film , which he is directing â€ ” though info about casting and the story has piled up in bits and pieces . Now a new bit , from Abrams ' himself : At a Berlin press conference for `` Star Trek Into Darkness , '' an entrepreneurial audience member asked the filmmaker about longtime collaborator and composer Michael Giacchino , who has provided the score for most every major Abrams work . The audience member asked : Would Giacchino also do the score for `` Star Wars ? '' The short answer : No â€ ” John Williams , most famous for composing the six other `` Star Wars '' films , will , probably . The longer answer : Michael Giacchino is great ! But so is John Williams ! 'Veep ' renewed by HBO for season 3 . Abrams was caught on tape saying this , so it 'll be hard for him to drape it in much mystery , though questions persist : Have they had a formal meeting about working together ? Requests to both Abrams and Williams for comment were not immediately returned . Updates to come . 'American Idol ' : Top 4 Power List revisited . See Abrams ' full comments about Giacchino and Williams below : . Can you talk a little about Michael Giacchino 's music and will he be scoring Star Wars too , or not ? Michael Giacchino is an incredible composer who I was lucky enough to begin working with on Alias . He was doing videogame soundtracks and we started working together then and have done a number of films and television series since . He is brilliant and it 's very easy for me to say to him , looking at a scene , `` Okay , this scene needs to be about the conflict between these characters . It 's got to be hopeful but you also have to feel that there 's a tension still . '' I can say all these ridiculous things and he has to listen and say `` okay '' and go off and come back and present music that invariably does that but so much more . He 's truly one of the most influential members of our crew and I think this score , he just really out did himself , especially with the score for Benedict 's character . I think that suite that he wrote was just brilliant . Again , for Star Wars it is very early days to know but I believe that going forward John Williams will be doing that film , because apparently he was there long before I was .
