Legendary composer Ennio Morricone (Man With No Name  trilogy, etc.) has been indirectly connected with Quentin Tarantino in the past, sort of… Tarantino had hoped to work with Morricone on ‘Pulp Fiction’ but Morricone turned him down. They had another awkward pairing with ‘Kill Bill’ when instead of using “new” Morricone work, Tarantino and the RZA tapped into some of Morricone’s older work.

Now, with Morricone recently having turned 80, talk is fluttering again about Morricone’s “possible” involvement on ‘Inglorious Basterds’ which makes sense… it would be difficult to make Tarantino’s “usual” style of movie music float in the period war flick. The question is (A) Whether Morricone is actually attached, or even considering this, although Italy Global Nationis apparently stating he is… and (B) at Morricone’s age, how much of his work would appear in the film if he did agree?
