Nov 10 2008Morricone Scoring 'Inglourious Basterds'?
According to Italy Global Nation (apparently some sort of news site, not a post-apocalyptic European superpower), Legendary film composer Ennio Morricone may be scoring Quentin Tarantino's Inglourious Basterds. From CHUD:
[Italy Global Nation] reports that the legendary Morricone has accepted an offer to score Inglorious Basterds.Quentin Tarantino and Ennio Morricone have had a long, indirect relationship. Morricone once famously turned down a request to score small parts of Pulp Fiction, and then rather than using new music from the composer for Kill Bill, Tarantino and the RZA recycled some of the his older work.
Morricone turns 80 today and has been accepting less work in recent years. Now the question is: how much Morricone material will actually grace the film? Could be only a couple of minutes, or Tarantino could try to extract what might be one of the composer's last notable full scores.
UPDATED: The QT Archives have pulled their story, but the source at IGN still stands -- is this not as done a deal as we'd like?
I hope this ends up being true. Like the whimpers of stifled sobbing that accompany my daily routine, the music of Ennio Morricone and Quentin Tarantino movies just make sense together.

Is that actually Tarantino's handwriting? Because if it is it leads me to believe he is completely unaware he's misspelled both words in the title.

I'd be curious to hear what Morricone thinks of the script - not his usual cup of tea, I would have thought.

Are we that starved for information on this movie that this is news? I can't wait to find out if Pastrami Dan's is doing the catering or not.

I thought this said
Marricone Scoring 'Inglourious Basterds
Marricone as in translated to spanish means "gay man" or as it's explained to me, f*g. So I guess I read the title to mean
f*g scoring Inglorious Bastards
Hmm, that seemed funnier before I typed it.

which is longer his chin, his nose, or his level of education?
I say chin.
Some of his stuff is good, but he gets on my nerves.
