The Weinstein Company has unveiled the final THE HATEFUL EIGHT poster before the film is officially released.
THE HATEFUL EIGHT is the latest film from Academy Award-winning writer/director Quentin Tarantino (DJANGO UNCHAINED, INGLORIOUS BASTERDS, PULP FICTION).
Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Demian Bichir, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, and Bruce Dern star in the film written and directed by Tarantino and produced by Richard N. Gladstein, Stacey Sher and Shannon McIntosh.
THE HATEFUL EIGHT is 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 (Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Leigh), race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as “The Hangman,” will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren (Jackson), a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (Goggins), a southern renegade who claims to be the town’s new Sheriff.
Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie’s Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass. When they arrive at Minnie’s, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces. Bob (Bichir), who’s taking care of Minnie’s while she’s visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray (Roth), the hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage (Madsen), and Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Dern). As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travellers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all…
THE HATEFUL EIGHT will be released in select cinemas on December 25th, 2015 with an exclusive two-week roadshow opening in 70mm. After the initial limited release, the movie will open nationwide on January 8th, 2016, also in 70mm.
