Quentin Tarantino Talks ‘The Hateful Eight,’ Anti-Police Brutality & More With

Insiders on all sides, however, say there was never a contract to play Hateful Eight, and that Tarantino is incorrect. He later explained, “I made The Hateful Eight for the Dome…This is the first time seeing it at the Dome for me too, and it was like I hadn’t even seen it before, not like this”.

“I was trying to decide, ‘Was I going to talk about this, or was I not going to talk about this, ‘” Tarantino led off to Stern.

“Howard asked Tarantino to step back for a moment and let him handle it as Bob Iger, CEO of The Walt Disney Company, is an avid listener of the Stern Show”, according to Howard Stern’s web page. But the director complained that Disney suits forced the Dome to continue showing Star Wars: The Force Awakens at the Dome through Christmas for an extended holiday run.

The director seemed primed to spill his anger during this morning’s “Stern” appearance – the Sirius XM series is a regular stop on his promotional tours – and his voice shook as he vented his rage at what he called the studio’s “extortionist practices” around their biggest movie of the year.

Disney booked the space months ago for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, which begins rolling out Thursday night.

No word yet from Disney or Arclight about Tarantino’s claims, but one has to assume their eventual responses will include substantially less cussing, which is kind of a shame.

It will be interesting to experience the kind of impact a soundtrack that was primarily composed for an atmospheric sci-fi horror film will have on a Quentin Tarantino western. The Hateful Eight has a limited theatrical release on December 25 and hits more theaters on January 1. An irate Tarantino added, “It’s vindictive, it is mean, and it is extortion”.
