Film baru Quentin Tarantino, The Hateful Eight, sempat mengalami insiden kebocoran naskah secara online. Tarantino kemudian sempat memilih untuk membatalkannya, namun kemudian menghidupkannya kembali. Kini daftar pemain lengkap ditambah dengan sinopsis telah dikeluarkan kepada publik.
The Hateful Eight dibintangi Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Samuel L. Jackson, Walton Goggins, Tim Roth, Bruce Dern, Michael Madsen, dan Demian Bichir. Pun, kabar terakhir mengungkap keterlibatan Channing Tatum dalam mengisi salah satu peran besar.
Sinopsis lengkapnya sebagai berikut:
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 (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 siap melakukan proses syuting pada bulan depan, dengan 2015 sebagai tahun rilisnya.
