Ennio Morricone to score Quentin Tarentino's new film The Hateful Eight

This is a U-turn on the Italian master's previous comments, who, after working with Tarantino on four films, said he would never work with the Pulp Fiction director again.

The Hateful Eight is a film based partly on Bonanza and other cowboy shows, as well as The Magnificent Seven. It is set to feature a star-studded cast, including Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, Channing Tatum, Michael Madsen and Kurt Russell.

Tarantino revealed at the recent Comic-Con that despite Morricone's previous stance, he would in fact be helping score The Hateful Eight - his first Western score in four decades.

Morricone recently announced a series of arena shows for next year to celebrate 60 years of working in cinema.
