A teaser for Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight will be screened before Sin City: A Dame To Kill For -- even though production on the film starts next year.
While the Pulp Fiction director has been embroiled in a lawsuit with website Gawker over the leaking of the Western’s script, the Oscar winner has still managed to shoot a trailer.
Tarantino and Sin City co-helmer Robert Rodriguez are good friends, having worked together on projects such as From Dusk Till Dawn and Grindhouse double bill Death Proof and Planet Terror -- the latter, of course included fake previews, some of which became (or will become) films (Machete).
The director has the cast ready -- including Tom Roth, Kurt Russell, Samuel L Jackson, and Bruce Dern -- but instead of cutting a trailer during post-production, Tarantino evidently has filmed a preview during pre-production.
However, according to the Weinstein Company’s website (via Cinema Blend), “The trailer will be available packaged with the Sin City: A Dame to Kill For feature only, and that it will not be online.” [Editor's note: Translation: Good way to up the box office this weekend.]
The aforementioned lawsuit against Gawker was eventually dropped by Tarantino for unspecified reasons, but he at one time re-filed. The website posted a link to a leaked copy of the first draft of the script.
While Tarantino initially planned to drop the project, he was since rewritten the screenplay and now looks set to start filming early next year.
Here is synopsis via Collider:
The Hateful Eight follows the steadily ratcheting tension that develops after a blizzard diverts a stagecoach from its route, and traps a pitiless and mistrustful group which includes a competing pair of bounty hunters, a renegade Confederate soldier, and a female prisoner in a saloon in the middle of nowhere.
The film opens in 2015. Stay tuned for more news!
