Tarantino is usually quite selective about the songs and instrumental cues which form the soundtrack to his movies, as they are quite integral to the effect of the scene he wants to achieve.
I wonder if he and Morricone would be collaborating to achieve his desired result, or if Morricone will just say, "Don't tell me what to do, sonny boy, you'll get what I give you, like it or lump it!"

NO! If there is one thing I saw Ennio go absolutely ballistic on is when on WHAT DREAMS MAY COME when they felt the score was too dour. He was fine with that. But (rising out of his chair at this seminar) "why didn't they come to me, the man they hired for the job, to fix it!" It is all he asks that a dialogue take place and Tarantino, having said so many times he hates losing control of anything (especially music), will be very demanding but he has top respect for this man. Having for the first time an original score says it all.
And may I mention that on DJANGO UNCHAINED Quentin took the first step by commissioning a song from him. He has since declared "Ancora qui" is his favorite piece in the whole film. And I agree.
"compose music for" could easily just mean he has agreed to do 1 theme/2 themes or something other than a full score.
Given how the two work so differently, their two styles are at odds. Taratino has always wanted control of his music and likes his needle drops and songs, where Ennio has rarely been bossed by a director and being told what music to do and where it goes wounds his professional pride.
Somehow i dont see tarantino saying "compose me a full score ennio, and i trust your judgment"
Well, okay - until its done, I am skeptical. But yes, it would be nice to hear *new* *original* theatrical music in a Tarantino film, for sure. Hope it happens.
And I should mention the biggest rejector of Morricone music - Sergio Leone. He threw back more themes by him than anybody else. Many have mentioned those rejected themes ended up in a lot of his "other" westerns. Why so much rejection? Leone used this music as playback on the set. It was "inspiration" for the actors and everybody else. So it had to be exactly right.

Already happened in Kill Bill Volume 2...Robert Rodriguez wrote around 15 minutes' worth of original score cues.
I'll reserve judgment until I see the film, but a new original Western Morricone would be a true cause for celebration. Just hope Tarantino doesn't pull a Ridley Scott...
Tarantino is going to outfit 50 theatres to project "The Hateful 8" in 70mm with anamorphic projection lenses for a resulting 2.76:1 aspect ratio. He also plans to have an overture, an intermission, and a souvenir program for these 70mm presentations. This will be a revival of the old Ultra Panavision 70 format (perhaps with a different name). The last time a movie was shot and projected in this format was for the movie "Khartoum", released in 1966. There's an article about all this here:
I believe Tarantino was inspired to write THE HATEFUL EIGHT by simply reading the average thread on the FSM board. I thought he was "inspired" by whatever bargain bin dvd was on at that time and which was easy to copy.
What do you think was in the bin stu? Magnificent 7? The seven samouri? The dirty dozen? 12 angry men? 8 1/2? 8mm? 40 year old virgin? Gone in 60 seconds?

D.S.
Same thing. Endless rehashes. Plenty of cheap shots. And especially lots and lots of hate.
