According to Wild Bunch (via The Playlist), Ennio Morricone is composing original music for Terrence Malick’s upcoming documentary Voyage of Time. The film is described as a “celebration of the universe, displaying the whole of time, from its start to its final collapse”. Brad Pitt will be narrating a 40-minute version, which is set to be released in IMAX theaters and Cate Blanchett is providing narration for a feature version of the movie. Pitt is also producing the project with Dede Gardner (12 Years a Slave,World War Z), Nicolas Gonda (To the Wonder, Knight of Cups), Sarah Green (Mud, Sarah Green), Grant Hill (The Thin Red Line, V for Vendetta), Bill Pohlad (Into the Wild, Love & Mercy) and Sophokles Tasioulis (Earth, Deep Blue). Morricone has previously scored Malick’s 1978 feature Days of Heaven. No word yet on a release date for Voyage in Time.
As previously reported, Morricone also has Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight and Giuseppe Tornatore’s The Correspondence coming up. His most recent project, En mai, fais ce qu’il the plaît, opens next month in France.
Excellent!
Good news indeed.
