Die Macher von Quentin Tarantinos neuem Film The Hateful Eight haben Martin Guitars nie erzählt, wie ihre historische Leih-Akustik-Gitarre aus dem Martin-Museums beim Film-Set 2015 zerstört wurde.
Dick Boak von C.F. Martin wusste nicht, dass das ca. 1870 gebaute Instrument von Schauspieler Kurt Russell zerschlagen werden würde – zumindest nicht bevor Reverb.com über alle Details zum Vorfall berichtete. Mark Ulano, der Soundmixer des Streifens, plauderte die Geschichte bei einem Interview auf SSNInsider.com aus.
Boak – seines Zeichens Direktor des Martin-Museums – erzählte, dass dem Unternehmen zunächst gesagt wurde, die Gitarre sei bei einem Unfall am Set beschädigt worden: „We assumed that a scaffolding or something fell on it“.
Wtf Happened To The Hateful Eight?
Das Drehbuch des Films enthielt eine Szene (unten zu sehen), in welcher Jennifer Jason Leighs Charakter (Daisy Domergue) die historische Martin-Gitarre spielt, bevor Russells Charakter (John Ruth) selbige gegen einen Balken schmettert. Eigentlich sollte die Gitarre im letzten Moment gegen einen Fake ersetzt werden, laut Ulano wurde Russell allerdings nicht über den Austausch informiert, sodass die wertvolle Martin vor laufender Kamera zerschmettert wurde.
„All this about the guitar being smashed being written into the script and that somebody just didn’t tell the actor, this is all new information to us”, erzählt Boak. „We didn’t know anything about the script or Kurt Russell not being told that it was a priceless, irreplaceable artifact from the Martin Museum.”
In seinem Interview hat Soundmixer Ulano angedeutet, dass Martin den Verlust zunächst gut weggesteckt habe. Nach SSNInsider habe Martin, nachdem sie von dem Unfall erfahren hatten, gefragt: „Do you need another one and can we please have all the pieces to display in our museum?”

Nachdem die Stücke zur Prüfung an Martin zurückgegeben wurden, erklärte Boak eine Reperatur der Gitarre für unmöglich. Des Weiteren war das Instrument für den Kaufpreis und nicht als historisches Artefakt versichert, wobei Boak betonte, dass ihm einzig die Erhaltung der Geschichte am Herzen läge, nicht das Geld.
„Wir wollen die Menschen wissen lassen, dass der Unfall für uns äußerst erschütterlich ist“, bemerkte Boak zuletzt. „Wir können nicht glauben, dass das passiert ist.“Martin Guitars, known as one of the highest quality instrument makers for over 100 years, is particularly irate after one of their priceless antiques was destroyed on the set of Quentin Tarantino’s new film,
As the story goes, Tarantino & co borrowed a priceless 145-year-old guitar from the Martin collection, to be used as a prop on set. The guitar was to be played by Daisy Domergue, played by Jennifer Jason Leigh, before Kurt Russell’s character, John Ruth, grabs it out of her hands and smashes it. While the guitar was supposed to be switched out for a prop at the last second, Russell was unaware of the switch and wound up smashing the priceless antique. The scene with Russell smashing the antique was left in the movie, and Martin Guitars was only informed that the guitar was damaged during production.

When the company found out just how their guitar was destroyed, well, they were upset, to say the least. When the news of this story broke on Reverb, the director of the C.F. Martin & co museum and archives, Dick Boak, responded rather curtly to the situation in a follow-up on Reverb.
“We were informed that it was an accident on set, ” Boak says. “We assumed that a scaffolding or something fell on it. We understand that things happen, but at the same time we can’t take this lightly. All this about the guitar being smashed being written into the script and that somebody just didn’t tell the actor, this is all new information to us. We didn’t know anything about the script or Kurt Russell not being told that it was a priceless, irreplaceable artifact from the Martin Museum.”
He continued, “Upon inspection of the pieces, we realized that the guitar was beyond fixing. It’s destroyed, ” said Boak. “We want to make sure that people know that the incident was very distressing to us, ” Boak says. “We can’t believe that it happened. I don’t think anything can really remedy this. We’ve been remunerated for the insurance value, but it’s not about the money. It’s about the preservation of American musical history and heritage.”

The company is going so far as to ban all guitars from use on movie productions. “As a result of the incident, the company will no longer loan guitars to movies under any circumstances, ” said Boak.Get our free weekly email for all the latest cinematic news from our film critic Clarisse LoughreyGet our The Life Cinematic email for free
The Martin Guitar Museum has vowed never to loan guitars to movies ever again, after a six-string from the 1870s was smashed to pieces on the set of The Hateful Eight.
If you’ve seen the film you may remember prisoner Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh) strumming melancholically on the antique Martin in Minnie’s Haberdashery, only for John Ruth (Kurt Russell) to grab it from her and smash it on a beam.

The film’s sound mixer Mark Ulano told SSNInsider the scene was supposed to be shot up to a certain point before cutting, with the guitar being swapped out for a double which would then be smashed.

“Well, somehow that didn’t get communicated to Kurt, so when you see that happen on the frame, Jennifer’s reaction is genuine, ” Ulano explained.
To make matters worse, the guitar was only insured for its purchase price - significantly lower than its value as a museum artefact.
“We can’t believe that it happened. I don’t think anything can really remedy this. We’ve been remunerated for the insurance value, but it’s not about the money. It’s about the preservation of American musical history and heritage.
