Details of Tarantino's The Hateful Eight script are revealed

In the wake of , Western The Hateful Eight , after its script leaked, new details about the project have surfaced online.

According to The Wrap , the script for The Hateful Eight is split into five chapters, wi🍃th two main settings in the form of a stagecoach and a haberdashery.

The story revolves around a pair of bounty hunters (who would likely have been played by Michael Maℱdsen and Samuel L. Jackson) who plunder the small town of Red Rock.

They take shelter from a blizzard in a haberdashery,🌠 which has been overtaken by a Southern general (potentially Bruce Dern), an alleged hangman, a Frenchman named Bob and co꧃wboy Joe Gage.

Naturally, the👍 two groups butt heads (and egos) in what turns into a bloody stand-off in typical Tarantino style.

The script's first paragraph reveals that the director intended to shoot Hateful Eight on 70mm (as Paul Thomas Anderson did with The Master ), a very rare and expensive type of film stock that would have given Hateful Eight 🗹 a dist💎inctive look befitting its Western trappings.

Though Tarantino has apparently♛ shelved tꩵhe project indefinitely, we can't help hoping that one day he'll dust it off and get production rolling again.

After Django Unchained , Eight ✤ soun💦ds like it could have been another action tour-de-force for Tarantino.

It's a shame we won't be seeingꦬ it for some 🗹time yet – if ever.
