FILM INDEPENDENT ANNOUNCES
WORLD PREMIERE
OF A STAGED READING OF THE
HATEFUL EIGHT
BY QUENTIN TARANTINO
LOS ANGELES, CA (April 3,
2014)
Film Independent, the
nonprofit arts organization that produces the Film Independent Spirit Awards
and the Los Angeles Film Festival, has announced today the World Premiere of a
Staged Reading of Quentin Tarantino’s unmade script The Hateful Eight.
This special, once in a lifetime event, will be held on Thursday, April 24 at
LACMA’s Bing Theater. The Hateful Eight is the unproduced
Tarantino script that made headlines when he decided to shut down production
after the script leaked without his approval. The event will not be recorded or
live streamed.
“Quentin Tarantino is a key
figure in the independent creative community,” said Josh Welsh, President of
Film Independent. “We are thrilled that Quentin will be holding the World
Premiere Staged Reading of his script of The Hateful Eight with
Film Independent at LACMA. Film Independent supports diversity, innovation and
uniqueness of vision with events like the Spirit Awards, the Los Angeles Film
Festival, our Filmmaker Labs, as well as our year-round film programing curated
by Elvis Mitchell. We offer unique cinematic experiences to the people of Los
Angeles, and this event is going to deliver just that.”
The
Hateful Eight follows
the steadily ratcheting tension that develops after a blizzard diverts a stagecoach
from its route, and traps a pitiless and mistrustful group which includes a
competing pair of bounty hunters, a renegade Confederate soldier, and a female
prisoner in a saloon in the middle of nowhere.
The event will take place at
the LACMA Bing Theater on Thursday, April 24 at 8:00 pm. All proceeds go
towards supporting the year-round programing efforts of Film Independent at
LACMA.
