The Hateful Eight is already one of the most talked about movies of 2016 as Quentin Tarantino is set to make his return to the director's chair.
We haven't seen a Tarantino movie hit the big screen since Django Unchained - for which he won a Best Original Screenplay Oscar - and now he is back at the helm and on writing duties.
The Hateful Eight is one of the movies that did feature at Comic Con in San Diego and a brand new poster for the movie was unveiled.
Once again Tarantino has assembled a terrific cast list as Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, and Channing Tatum are all on board.
The movie sees the filmmaker reunite with the likes of Jackson, Roth, and Madsen, while he will be working with Russell and Tatum for the very first time.
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...
Sadly, we do have quite a wait for The Hateful Eight to hit the big screen as it is not released until 8th January 2016.
