Quentin Tarantino got the stagecoach wheels rolling on The Hateful Eight when he announced it less than one year after Django Unchained hit theaters. In fact, the announcement wasn’t the only thing that was close. The Hateful Eight actually started as a sequel to Django, with parts of it stemming from an abandoned novelization of his revisionist western.
For this western, Tarantino would use western TV show tropes–chiefly the bottle episodes where a band of vigilantes took the lead hostage–as a launching point. He thought, “What if I did a movie starring nothing but those characters? No heroes…Just a bunch of nefarious guys in a room, all telling backstories that may or may not be true. Trap those guys together in a room with a blizzard outside, give them guns, and see what happens.” And what happened was a lot of anger, a lot of snow and a lot of vomit.

After watching a Quentin Tarantino movie, there's always a good chance you will walk away from it with an unanswered question or two. In "Pulp Fiction," it's never revealed what was in the glowing briefcase Jules and Vern pick up at the film's beginning. "Reservoir Dogs" leaves the fate of Mr. Pink ambiguous at the end of the film, never outright confirming the character's death. In "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood," the circumstances surrounding the death of Cliff Booth's wife are left a mystery (unless you read the novelization). Tarantino has seemingly struck a delicate balance when crafting the world of his films. Either the director creates intricate and highly detailed backstories that leave no stone unturned (the Rick Dalton biography speaks for itself), or he prefers to leave select details entirely up to interpretation.
"The Hateful Eight" is a prime example of the latter, as the Western thriller...

A new film from Quentin Tarantino is never anything short of an event. For his eighth film, The Hateful Eight, he insisted on it being shot in 65mm using Ultra Panavision then arranged with the Weinstein Company to go back in time and release a roadshow version of the film. That is, the 70mm version would play in select theaters and become a Must See film.
The movie is wonderfully cast and beautifully shot with award-winning music from Ennio Morricone. But this is the first time I can say with genuine feeling that I was bored to tears.
Eight people find themselves waiting out a blizzard in an out of the way location, Minnie’s Haberdashery, and no one is as they appear which we learn over the course of two and a half tedious hours. While in some ways this is a thematic sequel to the far superior Django Unchained,...

Did Quentin Tarantino stumble this time out? His tale of western killers sharing a snowbound cabin builds almost zero suspense, and the verbal excess and violent grossness lack Tarantino's usual clever, wickedly funny edge. And 70mm cooped up in a dim interior? It's A Long Day's Journey into Lincoln Logs. Totally dig Jennifer Jason Leigh and Ennio Morricone, though. The Hateful Eight Blu-ray + DVD + Digital HD Anchor Bay / Weinstein 2015 / Color / 2.76 widescreen (Ultra Panavision 70) / 187 min. / Street Date March 29, 2016 / 39.99 Starring Samuel L.

Ennio Morricone accepts an Honorary Academy Award during the 79th Annual Academy Awards at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood, CA, on Sunday, February 25, 2007.
The Weinstein Company has released a 7-minute video from the actual recording session of L’Ultima Diligenza per Red Rock (versione integrale) from The Hateful Eight.
Featuring the legendary composer, Ennio Morricone, The Hateful Eight is nominated for 3 Academy Awards this year, including Best Original Score.
In The Hateful Eight, set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth (Kurt Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as “The Hangman,” will bring Domergue to justice.

There.s a glorious scene in Quentin Tarantino.s The Hateful Eight where Jennifer Jason Leigh.s Daisy Domergue picks up a guitar and begins to play a song. The song is quiet and haunting and it adds a level of menace to the proceedings inside Minnie.s Haberdashery. At the end of the scene, an angry Kurt Russell grabs the guitar and smashes it in a fit of rage. Daisy Domergue appears horrified. Well, it turns out that look of horror was actually from Jennifer Jason Leigh, because that guitar was a 145 year old antique and the actor had just destroyed it. Reverb published the story a couple of days ago about what happened to the guitar. Apparently, the plan had been to cut the scene at the end of the song, and then swap the antique out for a replica, that "The Hangman" John Ruth would then destroy.

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.
“We were informed that it was an accident on set,” said Dick Boak, director of the museum. “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...

Just in case you didn’t get enough hatefulness from these eight characters during the three hours and seven minutes they were on screen, Neca has revealed their line of Hateful Eight retro clothed action figures. Each figure stands 8 inches, is fully articulated, comes with character specific accessories, and is inspired by the cool toy lines from the 1970s. Neca is promising to do only one production run of 3000 each, so if you want one, you’d better jump on them fast. I’ve included more information from the manufacturer and photos below. Be super sure to check out the disclaimer at the bottom, because it’s my favorite part.
The figures run from $34.99 to $44.99, and you can pre-order six of the eight right here. (I don't know why the other two aren't available. Perhaps they hit their pre-order quota.)
For Quentin Tarantino’s eighth movie, we have a special treat for fans!

With the recent conclusion of the 73rd Golden Globe Awards and the announcing of the 2016 Oscar nominations, awards season in Hollywood is officially upon us. Now’s the time for filmgoers to binge on all, or as many of the Oscar frontrunners as possible before February 28th. Some of us get as much, if not more enjoyment out of emotionally attaching ourselves to potential nominees and winners than the actual film-going experience. Our investment in these films is such a not-so-quiet reverence of the work itself, playing favorites is one of our most cherished annual pastimes. Who we align ourselves with isn’t a complicated process. While we can side with a film for a whole host of reasons, odds are if a particular auteur’s newest offering is in the running, our selection is made for us.

Inexcusably self-indulgent. Tarantino gratifies his enormous self-love and his amusement at his own genius at the expense of all else. I’m “biast” (pro): loved Tarantino’s last two films…
I’m “biast” (con): …but really hate some of his films, too
(what is this about? see my critic’s minifesto)
Damn. So after the marvels of Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino has swung back to the Kill Bill style of filmmaking, which I described in my review of Basterds as a cinematic “circle jerk in which he and his fans get off on one another and how clever they all are to be such rapacious film geeks.” With the inexcusably self-indulgent The Hateful Eight, Tarantino has returned to the gratification of his enormous self-love and his amusement at his own genius at the expense of all else.
There are no characters to like in Eight.

During the development stages, movies are constantly changing and evolving; whatever you had at the very beginning of production is very unlikely to resemble whatever it is you end up with in theatres.
And so it is that the movies you sat down and enjoyed across the span of 2015 could have easily wound up being different movies entirely; movies with other plot threads, other heroes, other villains and other set-pieces…
Had a few alternate decisions been made during production, other actors cast in leading role, or alternate filmmakers been hired, last year’s slew of motion picture ventures had the potential to be twisted versions of the films you paid to watch – for better and for worse. Here are the ten of the biggest ways 2015’s biggest films were almost completely different.

The Hateful Eight was making headlines long before cameras had even rolled on Quentin Tarantino’s latest – an early draft of the script found its way online a couple of years back, putting the entire project in jeopardy. Thankfully (very thankfully – it’s great) that didn’t stop Qt, with the film hitting UK cinemas this week (and is currently playing in the Us). We got to sit down and chat with the director about his new movie, with particular reference to what impact that script leak had on the film’s development:
I was experimenting with writing in a different way than I normally do. Normally I write this one big novel kinda situation – I start at the beginning and I end at the end. And in this case I wanted to do three different drafts. Basically just spend time with the material. And then to tell the story...

Even though it takes place in the post-Civil War wintery West, The Hateful Eight discusses many issues we as a society are coming to terms with as we step into 2016. Quentin Tarantino’s third foray into revisionist history (following Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained) is his most biting and politically-charged film yet. Mirroring the racial issues that are unfortunately (still) far too common in today’s society feels appropriate and worthy of applause – especially in a major film coming from such a popular director. Samuel L. Jackson’s character Major Marquise Warren brings to light racial tension in an early scene with a former Confederate soldier turned lawman. Feeling squeamish about the direction of the conversation, the hate-fueled soon-to-be sheriff dismisses this talk by saying, “you were the one that started talking politics.” Hearing him describe it as “politics” feels almost too real. Dismissing a human rights issue as a...

Quentin Tarantino is possibly the most prolific writer/director working in film today. His first feature-length film, Reservoir Dogs, came out back in 1993, and yet the man still manages to surprise us with his hard-hitting dialogue, unconventional humor, and radical social and political commentary. This is a man who serves as a prime example of succeeding as a result of respecting one's elders, as he learns from those great filmmakers who came before him, while still managing to thread his own style through his intricately woven, homage-heavy film résumé.
While the rest of the world toned down its violence and opted for bigger box office, PG-13 sure-things, Tarantino stuck to his guns, consistently making movies for adults and constantly pushing the envelope as to what is allowed onscreen and how to go about displaying such graphic material.

Director Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight is now playing in select theaters in “glorious 70mm” (including St. Louis) and will open nationwide on December 31, 2015.
Of this ensemble cast, which includes Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Walton Goggins, Demian Bichir, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern and Channing Tatum, the one standout is the performance by Jennifer Jason Leigh.
Leigh comments on her character’s place among the eight: “Daisy is a gutsy girl, and she’s a bit of an animal in her own way. But all of these people have their values, and they all have their soft spots.”
“Jennifer Jason Leigh is fearless,” producer Stacey Sher says. “She’ll go anywhere, she’ll try anything, she’ll push it all the way, and as a result her character is constantly surprising throughout the entire journey.”

And when it comes to the prisoner he’s transporting in shackles — who happens to be a woman — neither does John Ruth, the bounty hunter played by Kurt Russell. It’s only minutes into the film’s opening sequence when Ruth delivers the first of many wallops to his prized bounty, a snarling fugitive named Daisy Domergue, fearlessly played with an ungainly feral intensity by Jennifer Jason Leigh.

Chicago – Story-wise, there is not much difference in “The Hateful Eight” – regarding themes and violence – that writer/director Quentin Tarantino hasn’t explored before. But it is also an outrageous and big western tale, and it’s presented in some theaters in a huge 70mm screen format.
Rating: 3.5/5.0
It is special that Qt has the power and energy to re-introduce this old style movie format to modern audiences, and he matches the length and breadth of some of those epic stories of the past (think “How the West was Won combined with “Pulp Fiction”). What he doesn’t do is tap anything new in his story telling. There is Samuel L. Jackson again, out for a mysterious type of revenge. Peppered in the dialogue is the n-word, yet again, ad nauseam. But at least it’s better and more expressive than “Django Unchained,” which I didn’t like. And if you like Django,...

It took a while for the American Western to find its groove. Even by the 1930s, the genre hadn't quite found its prestige. Examples were cheap, cookie-cutter B-movies that hardly showed anything of resonance. That was, until 1939, when John Ford gave us Stagecoach, a near-perfect film that practically invented the genre as we know it today. The film made the genre one of importance and one that, even in 2015, continues to reinvent itself. This year's The Hateful Eight isn't exactly a reinvention of a genre so much as it is a return of sorts. Quentin Tarantino, as with all of his films, creates a singular, unique experience that is both a love letter to a genre as well as a whole, new bag entirely. And it all starts, of course, with a stagecoach. On that stagecoach, we are introduced to four of those despicable, eponymous characters: "The Hangman" John Ruth,...

By Michael Russnow Quentin is an intriguing writer, who creates characters different from many we’ve seen and imbues them with personalities and fascinating incidental dialogue that gives three dimension to what they’re all about. The problem with this film is that there is so much attention paid to each character and their interactions with each other that it becomes like an overwritten stage play, static where it should have been exciting. Almost every one of them appears to have an individual moment to assess one of the others, with the rest sitting idly by in the background until their turns come. This is not always the case, of course, but it slows the pacing down, not to mention the fact that we are well over an hour into the movie before the shit starts to hit the fan. Then, a little after that we have an almost unheard...

As promised, I’m back writing again about filmmaker Quentin Tarantino’s eighth cinematic outing this week. Whenever a new movie of his opens, it’s really an event, so this is no exception. Of late, Tarantino has been getting the attention of the Academy, so this is definitely a high profile release. Buzz had been steadily building for months now, with folks especially excited for the 70mm roadshow version being unveiled in select theaters. I’ve seen and dug the flick a great deal, so it’s a pleasure to be able to speak more about how good this film is. I praised Bruce Dern’s work in it a few days ago, but now I’m gushing over the whole thing, as well as speculating about its Oscar prospects. Once again, this is Tarantino’s eight film, centering on a group of less than savory characters convening on a single location,...

The Hateful Eight
Written and directed by Quentin Tarantino
U.S.A., 2015
Here we go again. 3 years, literally to the day, after Quentin Tarantino dabbled in the western genre with Django Unchained, he returns for another Christmas Day serving of violent, western-influenced mayhem in the shape of The Hateful Eight. Lavishly produced and advertised, with a lot of hoopla surrounding the fact that it was shot using 70mm film, the movie arrives at an atypical moment during the holiday season, inviting those less interested in good dinosaurs, inspirational tales of ragtag boxers, and mystical lightsaber duels to spend three hours in a desolate inn with no less than eight characters that fit the title’s bill marvelously. The question remains: can a hateful eight make for a happy time?
Set shortly after the American Civil War, Tarantino’s latest is rooted in a Wyoming winter wonderland. A storm is fast...

(This is a review of the roadshow version of The Hateful Eight, which will be screening in true 70Mm in about 50 theaters across the country during the first two weeks after the movie’s release on Christmas Day. The same roadshow version will also screen in other venues digitally rather than on film. Before the roadshow engagement ends, a slightly shortened version, sans overture and intermission, will go into general release on December 31, so if you’re interested in seeing the roadshow version—and if you can, you should see it—read your newspaper or Internet theater listings carefully.)

As much as any mainstream film consumer has an opinion, positive or negative, about "Star Wars," it is likely that they also have an opinion, positive or negative, about Quentin Tarantino, as big a brand as any working filmmaker. At this point in his career, he's the reason I go to the theater. I don't care what the subject matter is, who's in it, or when it's released. I will go see any movie Quentin makes, no matter what, because he's earned that at this point. When he makes a film, he does it with a voice and an attitude and a style that is clearly and unmistakably his, and by now, if you're even remotely interested in his movies, you have a pretty good idea what sort of thing you're in for when you go to see "The Hateful Eight." In what seems very fitting in a year where...

Quentin Tarantino’s love of genre cinema manifests itself in retention and expansion: while he understands that the homaged works were often built to hit a base instinct in their viewer, the respect he extends towards them is part and parcel of his desire to provide more, more, and more, to illustrate that these extreme expressions can and very well should be masks for genuine profundity. His eighth feature, The Hateful Eight, embraces the dime-store whodunit western on its surface without ever stumbling in its path to becoming a major exercise of Tarantino’s cinematic, cultural, and historical vocabulary. Moreover, limiting himself and the team of collaborators to a compact (albeit three-hour-long) tale serves as something of a provocation — a continually shifting Rorschach test for how fans and detractors alike measure the value (supposed or assumed) of his oeuvre.

As a longtime fan of the western genre and Quentin Tarantino's work, The Hateful Eight was a movie that I was looking forward to seeing. On top of that, it was shot in 70mm, and until this movie I had never seen a movie projected in 70mm on the big screen before, and that alone was an awesome first-time experience for me.
My experience of seeing The Hateful Eight was like being transported back in time. It was probably a mixture of the old theater that I watched the film in, the western story, the style of the film, and the fact that I was actually watching the film in 70mm projection. It has been so long since I’ve seen a movie in any kind of projection other than digital. Adding to the experience was the fact that the movie started out with an overture and even had...

Samuel L. Jackson (Major Marquis Warren) was absent.
Quentin Tarantino on The Coachman's hat: "The pompoms were my idea."
During and after the press conference, I brought up Sam Shepard's God Of Hell to Roth and Bertolt Brecht's Pirate Jenny to Tarantino. Earlier, Quentin strolled by as I was getting coffee in the Waldorf Astoria Starlight Roof. He stopped to chat about his costume designer Courtney Hoffman, who was Christoph Waltz's personal costumer in Django Unchained. When I inquired about the mini-pompoms dangling from the brim of the coachman's hat, he beamed. "The pompoms were my idea,...

The Civil War didn’t end at Appomattox, but still rages in the hearts and minds of Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight,” a salty hothouse whodunit that owes as much to Agatha Christie as it does to Anthony Mann. Though Tarantino toys with many of the lawless frontier genre’s classic tropes, it’s arguable whether this deliciously long-winded mystery — “molasses-like,” to use his own term — qualifies as a Western at all. It might more aptly be considered an ongoing North-vs.-Southern, seeing as how . The gratuitous bloodletting and hefty running time should appeal primarily to cinephiles, building word of mouth in the week between Christmas Day and Dec. 31, when it makes a killing in wide release.
Last year, Tarantino announced a career plan that would see the director retiring (or perhaps turning his attention to television) after 10 films, and in light of his own self-imposed limit, the helmer...

Barreling down on its much-touted Christmas Day roadshow release, where the director’s latest will be broadcast via the old-school format of Ultra Panavision 70mm. Showcasing the icy hills of Wyoming in all of their spine-chilling glory, The Hateful Eight is as much about the environments as it is the titular ensemble of bounty hunters.
Make no mistake, though, with cracking dialogue and a gleeful dose of violence, early trailers – and indeed reviews – indicate that this is Tarantino revelling in a style he has become defined for, though whether The Hateful Eight can emulate the success of Django Unchained will be told in time.

Now that the first reviews are beginning to pour in along with early impressions of the film’s 70mm roadshow showcase, Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight is imminent, and to stoke excitement The Weinstein Company has today debuted an array of clips for the ultra-stylish Western.
Touting sly one-liners, violence and a cast of pantomime villains, the latest batch of footage trumpets just about every facet of Tarantino’s directing style that we’ve grown to love, though those who wish to go into theaters with a relatively blank slate ought to avoid watching every clip in fear of spoiling the surprise. Besides, the director has painstakingly captured the icy Wyoming landscapes for a 70mm release, meaning that the fruits of Tarantino’s labor won’t really shine unless viewed on the silver screen.

With the 70mm roadshow release officially clocking in at 187 minutes (including a 12-minute intermission) for Quentin Tarantino‘s The Hateful Eight, you’ll certainly want to travel to the closet theater playing the special event.
