Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight

[redhawk23]

I actually quite like that Tarantino is taking into consideration the different ways that the movie will be seen. Its kind of the opposite of what Chris Nolan does with his IMAX driven films, disregarding how the film will be different on smaller screens and without the benefit of top of line sound systems.

There were external shots of the sides of the spaceships in Interstellar that looked great in IMAX but in 35mm with the different framing all you could see was the ship and none of the sky or space around it.

It is interesting to see everyone slamming Tarantino for his 'ego' in this case because he himself is presenting it as a compromise. He knows most people are going to see the movie on a smaller screen or on a TV rather than his preferred 70mm and he is making a cut he thinks will work better for them.

Jennifer Jason Leigh is a veteran who was born into Hollywood. She did some great work for Robert Altman and the Coen Brothers in the '90s. She was also the lead in David Cronenberg's brilliant eXistenZ, and people often forget that she had a small but important role in Road to Perdition. She's more recently been a bright spot in some Noah Baumbach films, but her work rate has slowed down over the past decade or so. Considering her pedigree and filmography, it makes all the sense in the world that she's collaborating with Tarantino now.

Jennifer Leigh used to be Now she looks a little rough around the edges.

"Spend the holidays with someone you hate" is such a fun tagline.

 

[Fallen Angel]

Is it me or was that the same footage as before?

 

[StarLord]

A lot of the same footage, just new dialogue I think this time.

 

[CaptainWagner]

Great trailer and great job by Tarantino to not back down from his comments.

 

[Black Narcissus]

@MovieGuyMedia @TheAcademy I have seen one of the above and it's great. (it's the one with the intermission)

C'mon the Dems are just as bad, if not worse.

Did they spend their debate complaining about the questions too?


Anyways just when news about this film seemed a bit slow they release the new trailer. In some ways I wish I hadn't watched it.

I really, really love that shot of Jackson sitting on the pile of corpses in the snow.

I did not like the trailer at all.

I did not like the trailer at all.

Hmm I actually thought it was better than the 1st one which didn't excite me that much.

I'm gonna convince my family to go see this on Christmas. Because nothing says holiday spirit like Samuel L. Jackson calling people mother****ers every five seconds.

I'm not going to lie, if I didn't know this was a Tarantino film that trailer would do nothing for me. It just...seems very scattershot and after watching the trailer twice I really don't know what this movie's about. BUT, since I know its Tarantino, I will be seeing this and I know I will enjoy it.

Just a note guys, if you want to discuss the whole Tarantino vs Cops stuff, make a thread in political.

SLJ seems to be doing something special with this role. I smell an Oscar nomination!

QT always gets the benefit of the doubt.

I convinced my family to see Django and it was wonderful. My sister in law walked out half way through though.

Both trailers have made it very clear. 8 people stuck in a bar in winter. One of them is not who he or she seems.

Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained were the only QT films that had interesting trailers that would have made me excited to see them if I didn't know who the filmmaker was.

I agree that the trailer for The Hateful Eight is scattershot and simply full of disjointed beautifully shot images. As a Tarantino fan, that's enough to sell me on the film. I'm just not sure if the trailers alone will make the general public want to go see it.

I've always maintained that the best way to sell a QT film is to have a short scene with witty dialogue then a montage as the trailer.

Yes but in which one of them, is the alien thing hiding?

LOl. kidding^ it's funny when plots and trailers are so straightforward revealing what they are, some people just need to imagine well it can't be just that, there has to be something more!

Nope, Kurt Russel pretty much spells it out - "I'm taking this one to hang, she's worth 10k$, that money is mine boys" - cut to snapshot of 8 ruthless strangers trapped under one roof, being picked off by someone.

It couldn't be clearer.
Sometimes the tension and pathos between characters alone is the movie.

I'm not saying I need a trailer to spell out and outline the whole film but, I dunno, with this trailer I really couldn't get a handle on what exactly the story is here. It wasn't until Marvolo told me "Its about 8 people stuck in a bar together and one is not who it seems" where it clicked and now the trailers make more sense to me. But, its not just me right? The trailer seems very scattershot.
