It’s a well-known fact that director Quentin Tarantino has always preferred traditional film from digital. Earlier this year, lucky attendants to the Cine Gear Expo at the Paramount studios in Los Angeles, got see a few previews of his upcoming Western “The Hateful Eight,” which the director filmed in 70mm. The technique these days is not only highly expensive but requires special equipment to play be played in theatres. For this, Tarantino has in fact equipped over 50 theatres all over the US. The director and cast attended this year's Comic Con in San Diego and spoke about the film, along with the release of its official poster. (Seen below).
The highly anticipated Western starring Kurt Rusell, Demián Bichir, Tim Roth, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Bruce Dern and Samuel L. Jackson, amongst others, was shoot entirely in Colorado and follows the story in a post-Civil-War Wyoming, in which bounty hunter John "The Hangman" Ruth and his fugitive prisoner, encounter another bounty hunter and a man who claims to be a sheriff while racing toward the town of Red Rock. Hoping to find shelter from a blizzard, the group travels to a stagecoach stopover located on a mountain pass. There, they encounter four strangers, and soon learn that they may not make it to their destination after all. “No one comes up here without a damn good reason,” reads the film’s first poster.
Tarantino also announced he’s recruited famous composer Enio Morricone to score the film, after declining to score the director’s “Inglorious Basterds” since he was he was already working on Giuseppe Tornatore's “Baaria.” Morricone is the most acclaimed score composer for Westerns and earned his fame with titles such as “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” “Once Upon a Time in the West” and “My Name is Nobody.” In other good news for Tarantino fans, the director said he’s very likely to release one more film in the next five years: “I usually make three movies a decade,” he said. “Hateful Eight is number two for this decade.”
