When it was revealed Ennio Morricone would be teaming with Quentin Tarantino to deliver an original score for The Hateful Eight — the biggest news out of this year’s Comic-Con, bar one — we wondered if this might be a brief respite for the director, in terms of utilizing anachronistic music choices. Today now brings the full soundtrack list (thanks to Music Box via Film Music Reporter), but rest assured, he snuck a few unexpected choices in the line-up.
Made up mostly of Morricone’s tracks (17 in total, with some repeated titles) and dialogue bits from the cast, there’s three outliers: The White Stripes‘ Apple Blossom, Roy Orbinson‘s — spoilers! — There Won’t Be Many Coming Home, and David Hess‘ — spoilers, again! — Now You’re All Alone, which was in the original Last House on the Left. Coming from Decca Records on December 18th, we’ll get a few days to have a listen before its 70mm release on December 25th.
Speaking of the debut, as we await The Weinstein Company’s list of 96 theaters in America (and 4 in Canada) that will be playing the film in 70mm (the largest release of its kind in two decades) Boston Globe has a great feature about the preparation. They note that during the 1.5-year process, 20 extra 70mm projectors were refurbished if anything goes wrong and that around 200 projectionists have been hired, “enough for two shifts per theater” and that “many are veterans coming out of retirement.” As we wait for what’s shaping up to be the cinematic event of December, check out the soundtrack list below and embeds of the three previously released songs.
