Bounty hunters Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), and John Ruth (Kurt
Russell) share a stagecoach in this new image from Quentin Tarantino's upcoming
western set a few years after the end of the Civil War and that centers on a
group of strangers who are forced to wait out a blizzard at secluded Wyoming
tavern.
Tarantino's films always have a sense of humor, yes it's slightly warped,
dark, and sometimes used to enhance the terror of any given character or scene,
but a sense of humor nonetheless.
"I can
definitely say that as bleak as our movie is, we are definitely the funniest
snow Western ever made," said Tarantino. "This is funnier than The Great Silence,
it’s funnier than Day of the Outlaw."
Opening on December 25th (70mm), and on January 8th (digital), The Hatful
Eight also stars Jennifer Jason Leigh (Daisy Domargue), Bruce Dern (General
Smithers), Walton Goggins (Sheriff Chris
Mannix), Tim Roth (Oswaldo Mobray), and Michael Madsen (Joe
Gage), Demian Bichir (Bob).
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…
