The famous Italian composer Ennio Morricone and Quentin Tarantino will once again work together for his upcoming film "The Hateful Eight." The collaboration took place despite the rumors of Marricone saying that he would never want to work with Tarantino again.
During a question and answer with Christopher Nolan in relation to his film "The Hateful Eight" screening, Tarantino dished out details in regards to his film's musical scoring. As per Indie Wire, the director already planned putting his music for the upcoming movie on someone's care:
"I had a little voice in my head saying, 'This material deserved an original score.' And I've never thought that way before, I've never had that voice before. I didn't ever want to trust a composer with the soul of my movie,"
Tarantino then shared that he initially planned on meeting with Ennio Morricone, their scheduling however didn't go quite well.
"We started talking and he thought I hadn't started to shoot yet. Little did he know I had shot, and I would need the score in a month, And he's like, 'This is not going to work. I'm working with Giuseppe Tornatore, and he just finished shooting the other day, and I've got to do his score, this is not going to work. I was told a lot of things that weren't correct, and I'm really sorry.' And I go, 'Well, tell me what you thought about the script.' "
Tarantino also shared that upon reading the script, Marricone got inspired to make music for the film. Marricone then offered to write the theme and collaborate some pieces of the music from "The Thing."
"...'I wrote a whole orchestra score [for 'The Thing'], and I wrote a whole synthesizer score, because I knew that was what [John Carpenter] was used to, and I gave him everything, and the only thing he used in the entire movie was the synthesizer main title [track].' So basically, if you stay away from the synthesizer main title, all that music that's on the soundtrack album has never been used in a movie ever. So, he goes, 'What I can do, is I'll write the theme...and with the other 'Thing' pieces of music, now you have your original score that's never been used in a movie before.' "
