Featurette about roadshows and shooting the film with Ultra Panavision

 

[Matt Mortem]

As much as QT's insistence on film being the only way to do movies annoys me I'm still very much looking forward to seeing the 70mm print of this film and I'll be mad as hell if Arizona doesn't have any playing. Luckily I'm only 5 hours outside of LA so come hell or high water I'm gonna see this flick as QT intends.

Every director has their quirks. Alan Moore probably hates the fact people read his **** on a tablet instead of physical paper.

^ That's hard to say. Moore himself has actually been involved in some experimental apps, though that was involved in the short film projects he's been writing the last several years.

Shooting with film is an aesthetic choice but his bias against digital projection is quite strange.
His "TV in public" comments about digital projection often feel really off base but I've had moments when I can see what he means.

With things like Fathom events which are transmitted to multiple theaters all at once and with Dr. Who and Game of Thrones episodes getting IMAX releases, "TV in Public" is exactly the correct description. I just don't think that's necessarily a bad thing.

Many TV shows are much more "cinematic" than a lot of the kinds of indie films and even Hollywood products and they play really well on a giant screen. Anything that keeps theaters open is a plus overall I think.

'The Hateful Eight' is officially rated R for "strong bloody violence, a scene of violent sexual content, language and some graphic nudity."

 

[Drz]

Having read the script, i'm glad the violent sexual content and nudity is in this!

 

[redhawk23]

That rating sounds pretty rapey.

 

[Tacit Ronin]

That scene is hilarious. I can't wait to watch it.

Apparently a press screening showing the film in 70mm went horribly wrong. The first half of the film was almost unwatchable, and after the intermission they switched to showing the film digitally. I bet Tarantino is PISSED.

 

[redhawk23]

That is pretty nuts, especially considering there have been earlier screenings that went just fine.

Equipment malfunction?

 

[Marvolo]

Equipment malfunction?

Probably projection operator error.

 

[Spider-Who?]

They didn't do an equipment check prior to the film, and it turned out the projector lens was faulty. They didn't/couldn't fix it, so they waited for the intermission to change to the digital projector.

 

[StarLord]

I read about a screening of TH8 a few weeks ago that had the same problem. Kurt Russell and Walton Goggins did an impromptu Q&A for the audience while they were waiting for it to be fixed.

"Something is in the works, but the element of surprise is the most important element," says [Jim] Pasco [executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police]. "Something could happen anytime between now and [the premiere].

I heard DiCaprio gets raped by a bear twice in this one. Is it true?

 

[Drz]

Yeah, but now you spoiled the biggest cameo of the century!

 

[Fallen Angel]

We knew the Bear was in this dude. Bear is in demand these days.

 

[Marvolo]

They sould like terrorists. I'd laugh my ass off if the FBI investigated them.

 

[titansupes]

Jesus, now the Police are publicly announcing they're targeting people and doing bad things? All is right in the USA...

 

[Marvolo]

Yeah I feel like my country is losing its damn mind.
