Congratulations to our very own Ennio Morricone, who won Best Original Score for Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight at last night’s Oscars!
Trendsetter secured a clip last week of Ennio Morricone conducting “Neve” that premiered on Entertainment Weekly and we are so proud to be apart of this project! I mean, c’mon, Ennio is undeniably a living legend!
The video features the maestro himself conducting the Czech National Symphony Orchestra. Seeing the intensity and focus of each person in the video really adds to the drama of the piece. Morricone’s ingenuity and focus hasn’t gone unnoticed, in addition to last night’s Oscars win, the movie score has won multiple awards, including a Golden Globe, a Critic’s Choice award, and a BAFTA award!
More Info:
In the critically acclaimed THE HATEFUL EIGHT, set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth (Kurt Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as “The Hangman,” will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (Walton Goggins), a southern renegade who claims to be the town’s new Sheriff. Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie’s Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass. When they arrive at Minnie’s, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces. Bob (Demian Bichir), who’s taking care of Minnie’s while she’s visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray (Tim Roth), the hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage (Michael Madsen), and Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Bruce Dern). As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all…
