<P> Tarantino edited two versions of the film, one for the roadshow version and the other for general release . The roadshow version runs for three hours and two minutes, including six minutes of extra footage plus an overture and intermission, and has alternate takes of some scenes . Tarantino created two versions as he felt some of the footage he shot for 70mm would not play well on smaller screens . Classifications from the British Board of Film Classification confirm that the time difference between the Roadshow (187 minutes) and the DCP (167 minutes) releases is 20 minutes . </P> <P> Tarantino announced at the 2015 Comic - Con that Ennio Morricone would compose the score for The Hateful Eight; it is the first Western scored by Morricone in 34 years, since Buddy Goes West, and Tarantino's first film to use an original score . Tarantino had previously used Morricone's music in Kill Bill, Death Proof, Inglourious Basterds, and Django Unchained, and Morricone also wrote an original song, "Ancora Qui", for the latter . Morricone had previously made statements that he would "never work" with Tarantino after Django Unchained, but ultimately changed his mind and agreed to score The Hateful Eight . According to Variety, Morricone composed the score without even seeing the film . </P> <P> The soundtrack was announced on November 19, 2015, for a December 18 release from Decca Records . Ennio Morricone composed 50 minutes of original music for The Hateful Eight . In addition to Morricone's original score, the soundtrack includes dialogue excerpts from the film, "Apple Blossom" by The White Stripes from their De Stijl album, "Now You're All Alone" by David Hess from The Last House on the Left and "There Won't Be Many Coming Home" by Roy Orbison from The Fastest Guitar Alive . </P> <P> Tarantino confirmed that the film would use three unused tracks from Morricone's original soundtrack for the 1982 John Carpenter film The Thing--"Eternity", "Bestiality" and "Despair"--as Morricone was pressed for time while creating the score . The final film also uses Morricone's "Regan's Theme" from the 1977 John Boorman film Exorcist II: The Heretic . </P>
