I miss TWO issues of Entertainment Weekly and the movie world changes. Did anyone even know that this film was in the pipeline? Look at that cast nd the summary of the film - now add Tarantino to the mix and this is a must see.
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…
