More Photos from Quentin Tarantino’s THE HATEFUL EIGHT Reveal Full Cast
We’ve got a bunch of new photos from Quentin Tarantino’s highly anticipated western film project for you to check out! The images offer us a look at every main character in The Hateful Eight, including Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Jason Lee, Michael Madsen, Tim Roth, Walton Goggins, Bruce Dern and Demian Bichir. I also included some clearer versions of previously released images.
The photos come from EW, who is spotlighting the movie in their upcoming issue. All of the actors look great in the roles they play. I have high hopes for this one as I’m a huge fan of both westerns and Tarantino. He just knows how to make great films by creating great characters and telling intriguing stories.
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…
The Weinstein Company will distribute the film, which is expected to be released sometime this winter.
