Quentin Tarantino Locks Down The Hateful Eight Script!!!

When it comes to keeping a tight lip on a script director Quentin Tarantino Locks Down The Hateful Eight Script after the script leaked earlier this year.

Tarantino, who is genius, when it comes to film making isn’t messing around this time with The Hateful Eight. He isn’t taking any risks on another leak by putting up insane measures to get investors to see the newly worked script for the film.

The Hollywood Reporter reported on Wednesday that Tarantino and The Weinstein Company have set a very secure reading of the Hateful Eight script for potential investors, both foreign and domestic, who would like to have a hand in the making of the film.

The site added that this isn’t the first time TWC have gone to extreme measures to keep a script under wraps. The company did the same thing with Paul Thomas Anderson‘s Scientology-inspired drama The Master when it pre-sold the project to buyers in Cannes in 2011.

After the script leak, Tarantino re-worked the script to be used in the film that will start production later this year, but also put on a script reading of the leaked script with some of the actors he was hoping to have involved, including Kurt Russell and Samuel L. Jackson.

Jennifer Jason Leigh, who was not a part of the script reading, recently signed on to play the female lead in the film. The Hateful Eight is described as a combination between a Django Unchained-style Western and an Agatha Christie-esque whodunit. It is set in snowy Wyoming a few years after the Civil War.

According to THR, Tarantino said the reading would be the one and only time the story would be seen with its original ending, in which all of the movie’s major characters die. The original script was divided into five sections, or chapters, and Tarantino has said he has substantially rewrote the film’s final section, originally titled “Black Night, White Hell.”

Tarantino will begin shooting The Hateful Eight in Colorado next month. Sources say the director is set to deliver the film for the Toronto Film Festival next year.
