First Poster for Quentin Tarantino’s ‘The Hateful Eight’
The on again, off again, on again saga of Quentin Tarantino’s ‘The Hateful Eight’ looks to be moving in the right direction with a brand spanking new first look at the teaser poster. The film has seen a rollercoaster of pre-production this year after the script was leaked. At that point Tarantino canceled the project but a live table read brought it back to life and is now the Oscar-winning writer/director’s 8th film (again).
Tarantino confirmed that the film, starring Kurt Russell, Walton Goggins and Samuel L. Jackson, would be moving forward at Comic-Con last weekend and that the script is in its third draft and significantly different from the version that was leaked online earlier this year. Production is believed to begin on the movie this winter with a 2015 release date. Check it out below.
