Director Edgar Wright paid tribute on social media, saying, “Where would even start with iconic musician Ennio Morrickon? He was able to make an average movie to watch, a good movie in the industry and a great movie in legend. He never stopped my stereo my whole life. What a legacy he left behind.
Where will even the iconic musician Ennio Morricone start? He can certainly make an average movie to watch, a good movie in the industry and a movie great in legend. He didn’t turn off my stereo my whole life. What legacy he leaves behind the work. Rip. https://t.co/qZX6qE10ke
