When Quentin Tarantino’s script for The Hateful Eight was leaked, the filmmaker was understandably furious (it had only been distributed to six people). He later stated that it would no longer be his next project and that while he might still make it in the future, he would likely just end up publishing it as a book.

It was revealed months ago that Tarantino was once again working on a movie version of The Hateful Eight, and he would confirm that news at this past weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con.

The script was very well received following a live reading in Los Angeles, and the cast which took part in that are all expected to return for The Hateful Eight movie as well. That includes Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Tim Roth, Amber Tamblyn, Walton Goggins, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern, James Parks, Denis Ménochet, Dana Gourrier, Zoe Bell and James Remar. That’s an extremely impressive line-up, and it includes many Tarantino regulars.

The first poster for The Hateful Eight was featured in the latest issue of Empire Magazine, and confirms a 2015 release. It’s a stark and eye catching image, and one which also promises the sort of violence we’ve come to expect from Tarantino. Stay tuned to HeyUGuys for more on The Hateful Eight in the coming months…
