German Playboy Admits That Some Of Ennio Morricone’s Quotes About Quentin Tarantino Were “Reproduced Incorrectly”
Over the weekend, an interview between German Playboy and legendary film composer Ennio Morricone went viral due to some quotes he allegedly made about two-time collaborator Quentin Tarantino. Ennio called QT a “cretin,” and “not a director.” He described Quentin’s style as blatantly stealing from others and called his films “trash.”
After the interview gained some attention, Ennio released a statement saying the quotes weren’t from him. German Playboy stood by its story. But now Variety is reporting that German Playboy has admitted that the story wasn’t exactly the truth.
Iconic Film Composer Ennio Morricone Thinks Quentin Tarantino Sucks At His Job (UPDATE: He Denies Saying It)
Ennio Morricone is a famed composer of countless film scores, including “spaghetti westerns” like A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and Once Upon a Time in the West, as well as John Carpenter’s “The Thing,” Terrence Malick’s Days of Heaven and many more. He’s collaborated with foot guy film director Quentin Tarantino on two separate occasions (a piece from Django Unchained and the score for The Hateful Eight) and clearly loves the man.
