    The Hateful Eight (film) - Quentin Tarantino

    Look again at that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there--on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.

    Awesome, this is the first I've heard of it, but Tarantino films have been on my mind a lot the last few days after coming across Kill Bill ep. 1 channel surfing again earlier this week and watching a tense 30 minutes of Django last night

    When Tarantino pitched his fit about the script being leaked, I knew it would still be made. Although I have a hard time seeing it released in 2015 when it doesn't start filming until next year...

    First I've heard of it as well. Knew nothing of a script leak. (& sure ain't gonna read it now!) From the poster it appears to be another western? I am so down for that.

    Yeah, it leaked out toward the beginning of the year. Tarantino had given copies to only about five people that he trusted and somehow it still leaked. He later went onto some movie site, I forget which, and wrote this long article saying how one of those actors' agents had stolen the script and now he's ruined the film for everyone because there was no way the film would be made after the leak. Less than a month later he comes back and says he'd re-written the last third of the movie. Another month or so later, he assembles his (awesome) dream cast for the film for a live script reading. A few months later...now he's wanting to film. Tarantino can be such a drama queen sometimes...

    But yeah....I'm certainly looking forward to another Tarantino western. I believe he said this one will be more of a traditional western rather than the over-the-top, Django? The cast he's looking at for this thing is amazing. Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson(of course), Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern, Walton Coggins, Etc. As long as the film isn't bloated with too lengthy of a run time, I think it should be something special.

    You at least have to give Tarantino credit for giving Jackson a range of varied characters rather than have him play Jules over and over again. His role in Django was quite strange, but definitely one of the most memorable of the film.

    But as for your question, no you're not the only one. He's also been promoting some credit card company here in the states and it seems like he's on every commercial break.

    EDIT: After making my post I realized that your "eveeeeryyything" is probably a reference to that commercial. I didn't catch on to it at first. It's early and I need more coffee, damn it.

    He was overexposed at least a decade ago and I was tired back then, now I don't much care. He was very well utilized in Django and obviously rocked socks in Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown etc., so if I am going to see him, let it be in a Tarantino flick where I know it has a good shot of being a properly fun fit for the actor

    I used to like Samuel Jackson, Pulp Fiction, 51st State, Deep Blue Sea, Dusk Till Dawn but then i started to get a bit sick of him. Looking forward to any Tarantino film though. I would like to see him make another Dusk Till Dawn type film though!!
    Get that damn screwdriver out of my head!

    And here's the cast - http://www.aintitcool.com/node/69592

    The cast of Tarantino's THE HATEFUL EIGHT have begun rehearsing the dialogue-heavy western before heading out to shoot in Colorado next month, and Samuel L. Jackson has enthusiastically provided us with our first shots of this group via his Twitter. Between the two stills, you can see a baseball capped Bruce Dern, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Kurt Russell, Walton Goggins, Michael Madsen, Demian Bichir, Tim Roth, and of course, a mid-motion Mr. Tarantino.
    I've always loved Bruce Dern since "Silent Running."

    I'd forgotten all about this, so thanks for the reminder. Interesting that Kurt already has another western finished & on the way, "Bone Tomahawk"

    To me, he'll always be the military neighbor, Rumsfeld, in Joe Dante's The Burbs.

    Ditto.

    Looking forward to seeing this, and also looking forward to seeing Russell in another QT flick (as well as Roth and Madsen) - I thought he rocked in Death Proof.
