Channing Tatum emailed Quentin Tarantino everyday for ‘Hateful Eight’ role

The Hateful Eight will hit theaters this Friday, December 25th.

“I was expecting to go a little bit more down by Cherokee or Bronson and when they said ‘No it’s going to be right underneath that Chinese Marquis – that one right there”.

As was the case in his previous movie, “Django Unchained”, Tarantino’s most recent film also revolves around the character of a bounty hunter, played by Kurt Russell.

Tarantino: The movie that plays in most theaters and most malls and stuff, artistically, everything, it’s the exact same movie.

It takes a long time for the truth to be revealed, and no doubt some viewers will grow impatient with a three-hour movie that’s about 90 percent dialogue and 10 percent action, but Tarantino’s screenplay is rich with obscenity-laced, often deeply amusing and occasionally even inspirational and patriotic dialogue. The winter based setting finding its forebear in Carpenter’s horror touchstone The Thing, but its commitment to that film’s atmosphere goes beyond mere aesthetics, as it utilizes that same sense of “everyone is a danger and everyone is in danger”.

Jennifer Jason Leigh is handed a plum role and she knocks it out of the park. But the director told EW he only had “natural human trepidation” before the NY and Los Angeles premiers of Hateful Eight, and that, rather than frighten him, the police association’s threats proved his point.

Full of grit and gunpowder, The Hateful Eight is one of the finest films of 2015.

“One of the things I wanted to do before Pulp Fiction to some degree or another…one of the outside projects that I considered doing was doing a Luke Cage movie”, Tarantino said. With an obsessive attention to detail, the film is attractive from start to finish, even when the blindingly bright snow gives way to blood red stains. But I completely and utterly reject the “few bad apples” argument. Though, it’s possible that the final sequence may cause some discussion in some form or another. A racist Southern rebel, Mannix is easily the most hateful of the eight. Or, that’s who they all say they are.

That being said, he’s not adverse to taking pre-existing material and making it cinematic. I’m not one to advocate for less violence in movies, or less of anything, really, except half-baked ideas.
