Robert Folk? Was hat denn der mit dem Projekt zu schaffen? Das wird ja immer interessanter...

At The Premiere of THE HATEFUL EIGHT on Monday, I of course was very much interested in The Musical Score. I was very surprised that much of what I heard sounded as though it was composed for a Horror Film. This Article from Indie Wire Explains it all. As an Academy Member, I would have to agree with the article... if is most likely going to be: Bye Bye Oscar.

The Premiere 70 mm Version of the film is over 3 hours long. Throughout the entire film, there is not really very much musical score. The Style of the score is not at all Western. Most of the score I would describe as being more Horror-Thriller in tone. None of the Signature sounds from Earlier Morricone Western Scores is present.
There are no guitars, no harmonica, no pan pipes, whistles, flutes, etc. No Accordions, No Typical Western Influenced Percussion...No Old Western Style Vocal Ensembles, Etc...etc... If one were to hear the score away from the film, it would never occur to the listener that the music was composed for a Western. I'm guessing that there is no more than 40 minutes of score in a film that is over 3 hours long. Most Likely... a significant amount of the music submitted, was never used. This would be Tarantino's Usual Method of trying things, and then rejecting them... trying more things, and then rejecting them. I'm guessing that it was probably a Huge Challenge for anyone contributing music for THE HATEFUL EIGHT.
