Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight

[Napoleon]

Tarantino’s Hateful Eight Originated as a Django Unchained Story

http://screenrant.com/hateful-eight-django-unchained-connection/

I hadn’t written a novel before, I thought I would just try my hand at writing this Django paperback. At the time it was called Django in White Hell. And it was basically just, you know – so I started writing – and it was basically just the stagecoach stuff, you know, all the stuff that we have in the story of the stagecoach, instead of Major Warren it was Django. And I was working on that and I hadn’t got to Minnie’s Haberdashery yet, hadn’t figured out who the other people would be there, just kind of, just setting this mystery into place.

- Quentin Tarantino

As it turns out, the more that Tarantino wrote of this Django novel, the more he realised that something just wasn’t right. What he eventually concluded was that it was the character of Django who didn’t fit. According to Tarantino, Django represented too much of a moral centre in the piece. Rather than have a character that fans were already familiar with as a good guy, Tarantino wanted characters that were all equally questionable in terms of a moral compass. Django was out and The Hateful Eight grew into something more solid.

As I suspected, I'll have to go to NYC if I want to see the 70mm cut. It would have been a lot more tempting if they didn't move up the nationwide release, but I might just save the $30 in extra ticket prices and travel expenses and wait for the regular version.

The big draw for the 70mm version for me is the extra footage. The closest theater to me that'll be showing it is in Portland, which is 2-3 hours early from where I live. The only potential hurdle for me is my whole family's coming over for Christmas.

The CinemaScope tickets are now available! Got mine for December 26th!!

I'll be damned, there's a closer showing to me than the NYC theaters! Looks like I'll be seeing the 70mm cut after all.

This, like DU, comes out here in Australia January 21 next year. Which is annoying.

Really baffled by the St. Louis show. The website only shows starting on December 31st for the road show. The website for the theater has an ad saying it starts christmas but the tickets aren't on sale there.

My family is trying to see if there is a show for the 26th.

Can't believe the movie is 3 hours long.

 

[terry78]

So its kind of a murder mystery western.

youtube ''Quentin Tarantino on Disney vs. 'The Hateful Eight''

[vanson]

[terry78]

There's a roadshow showing at the theatre I hit at 6pm tomorrow. Gotta do it, brah.

Also, ya'll should listen to his interview with Howard. Disney is messed up. mayne.

 

[Marvolo]

The closest 70mm showing to me is an 1 1/2 hours away on Christmas day. I want to go, but the show times aren't ideal.

is it true?

It's common knowledge that Disney puts pressure on movie theaters. They have more demands and stipulations than any other movie studio.

 

[vanson]

The soundtrack is just fantastic btw.. its available now

 

[redhawk23]

Interestingly, there is a theater in St. Louis that is having a a 6pm showing on Christmas Eve.

Listening to the soundtrack on Spotify now!

 

[Black Narcissus]

His interview with the nerdist is a good one.

So... If you don't see the 70mm version, you get less movie? /PO'ed face

My ****** little state hardly ever gets "select city" movies, let alone something like this. Goddamn. Does he really have to do this to us?

 

[NotSoLongAgo]

More cities would probably get it if 70mm wasn't practically extinct. And that's part of the incentive to watch the 70mm version. The tickets cost way more
