Ennio Morricone is attached to write the score for the upcoming drama The Best Offer. Geoffrey Rush and Jim Sturgess are set to star in the film directed by Giuseppe Tornatore. The movie revolves around a loveless elderly man who intersects with an astute young man and a mysterious woman in a South Tyrol setting. Rome’s Paco Cinematografica is producing the drama, which is set to start shooting at the end of this month. Morricone has been collaborating regularly with the director since the 1988 Academy Award-winning film Cinema Paradiso, including The Legend of 1900 and Maleno, both of which earned the composer a Golden Globe nomination. No domestic distribution for The Best Offer has been announced yet. (Variety)
