Composer Morricone glad he re-considered Tarantino's film offer

By Philip Pullella ROME (Reuters) - - Ennio Morricone, who wrote some of cinema's best-known sound tracks, said on Saturday he was glad he agreed to Quentin Tarantino's plea to do the score for the hit film "The Hateful Eight" after first turning him down. Morricone changed his mind only after a visit by the American director to the composer's home in Rome. Morricone won a Golden Globe for the film and has been nominated for an Oscar.
