The first trailer for director Quentin Tarantino’s epic western The Hateful Eight has been released. Watch as this incredible cast reminds fans that they should be excited for this gunslinging cast.
When Tarantino revealed The Hateful Eight as his next project, it was very exciting news. Then the script was leaked and Tarantino said he wasn’t going to make the film. Later Tarantino cooled off and continued to work on the script, staged a live read of a draft, and continued to refine the script. Eventually he confirmed that it would be his next film.
Now we have the first trailer for the film, and it definitely gives us some great looks at Tarantino’s new western. Watch the first trailer below:
The cast officially includes Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Samuel L. Jackson, Walton Goggins, Tim Roth, Bruce Dern, Michael Madsen, and Demian Bichir. Channing Tatum has also signed on for a small, but pivotal role in the film.
This cast has to be one of the most amazing in Tarantino’s film history. He’s known for having some amazing actors join his films, but Hateful Eight may include the most big-name actors that we’ve ever seen.
The trailer looks exciting, and while it feels in a similar vein as his previous film, Django Unchained, it’s use of all the actors being together should be exciting.
Here’s the film’s official synopsis:
“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.”
