Quentin Tarantino Directing The Hateful Eight

It’s official, while at San Diego Comic-Con 2014 Quentin Tarantino confirmed that he will be directing the upcoming movie The Hateful Eight.

As you’re aware, Tarantino was planning to shoot the Western as his next film until the script leaked online and he put everything on hold.

CelebNMusic247.com has learned via a Comic-Con panel was asked by an audience member if he’d be filming the film as his next project. The answer came after Tarantino hemmed and hawed for a bit – before finally committing: “Yeah – We’re going to be doing The Hateful Eight.”

here you have it: The Hateful Eight will be the next Quentin Tarantino feature.

The story follows a group of passengers on a stagecoach that get caught and trapped in a blizzard, where they’re forced to confront the ratcheting tension that develops. Tarantino previously staged a reading of the script that included Bruce Dern, Kurt Russell, Amber Tamblyn, Michael Madsen, James Remar, Walton Goggins, Zoe Bell, and Samuel L. Jackson, so most or all of those actors could appear in the finished film. As previously reported, filming might begin as soon as this November. Hit the jump to read the official synopsis and sound off in the comments with your thoughts.

Here’s the synopsis for The Hateful Eight as revealed at the script read, though this is subject to change for the finished film as Tarantino fine-tunes the screenplay:

The Hateful Eight follows the steadily ratcheting tension that develops after a blizzard diverts a stagecoach from its route, and traps a pitiless and mistrustful group which includes a competing pair of bounty hunters, a renegade Confederate soldier, and a female prisoner in a saloon in the middle of nowhere.
