Channing Tatum spammed Tarantino with emails to be in The Hateful Eight

Jackson, star of many Tarantino movies, introduced the writer-director as an artist without heavy hands: “He’s all about making films that make you happy”, Jackson said. As he accompanies a fugitive murderess to trial, the two get caught in a snowstorm while travelling through Wyoming.

First mooted on the back of Django Unchained in 2013, only for an early draft to leak online and put the whole project into doubt, The Hateful Eight has finally made its way to the big screen.

Tarantino was honoured in the presence of hundreds of fans and friends which included Zoe Bell, Demian Bichir, Tim Roth, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Clifton Collins Jr, Walton Goggins, Pam Grier, Craig Stark, James Parks, director Edgar Wright and his close pal, Samuel L Jackson. And see “The Hateful Eight” when it arrives on Christmas Day in 70mm.

Ruth, being a pragmatic sort, is convinced that someone among them is out to liberate Daisy from his custody; there’s a $10,000 bounty on her head, after all.

It’s a surprising reveal, but it’s interesting to note that Tarantino adds that he’s probably grown out of doing that kind of movie, just as he’s likely moved on from doing a Marvel property, something he eyed before “Pulp Fiction”.

“Part of the rubber band (of tension) is the threat of violence that is just hanging over the movies and hanging over the characters”, Tarantino explained to reporters.

Despite the over three hour running time, including intermission, the story and performances are so captivating that I didn’t notice. While this approach surely wouldn’t work for an unknown actor, I’m sure that Tarantino appreciated the courage and tenacity it took to grovel for a month long. Those opening chapters, and yes Tarantino is continuing his on-going interest in chapter breaks, are elegantly lensed by longtime collaborator Robert Richardson and provide a beautifully snow-covered counterpoint to the duskier landscapes of their last partnership.
