Having vowed never to work with filmmaker Quentin Tarantino again, Maestro Ennio Morricone returns to the fray with the soundtrack of the director's next film, 'The Hateful Eight', after having already collaborated on 'Django Unchained', an experience that earned him more than one dislike, as he assured in a master class at the University of Rome in 2013: «Working with Tarantino is frustrating, because he places the music without consistency and you can't do anything with someone like that. Also, 'Django Unchained' I didn't like, too much blood.
From this new Morricone collaboration with Tarantino a few days ago one of the topics, 'L'Ultima Diligenza Di Red Rock', was leaked on social networks, apparently without permission of the author. This soundtrack, which is already nominated for the Golden Globes, will also feature discarded songs by Morricone for the movie 'The Thing' (John Carpenter, 1982).
It was in 1966 that Ennio Morricone got his first Golden Globe nomination for the soundtrack of a western: 'The good, the ugly and the bad'. Winner of an Honorary Oscar and with five nominations for the Hollywood Academy statuette, Morricone has more than 240 soundtracks to his credit between television and cinema.
Quentin Tarantino's latest film, 'The Hateful Eight', will be released on January 15, a western starring Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tim Roth and Kurt Russell that was originally intended as a sequel to his previous film, "Django Unchained." “After Django, I knew I would have to do a sequel or something like that. I liked the idea of the character and wrote something about him called Django in White Hell. Instead of starring Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), Django had the lead role. I had scoundrels against people with even less reputations, so I decided to let Django go, because I realized that I could not have a single center with these characters, "said the filmmaker.
