The Hateful Eight, the eighth film from Academy Award-winning director Quentin Tarantino now has a trailer, and it’s pretty darn glorious. As someone who grew up alongside a father that loved westerns, it’s great to see some gunslingers back on the big screen with that Tarantino touch.
In THE HATEFUL EIGHT, set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War (that’s the official description), 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 travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all…
The Hateful Eight will hit theaters December 25, 2015 and if you can, be sure to catch the film in 70mm! Actual film will always be the best way to enjoy this one.
