First look at Quentin Tarantino’s new film The Hateful Eight

AFTER a rocky road to the big screen, the first trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s new film The Hateful Eight, is finally here.

THE first official trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s new film The Hateful Eight, is finally here.

It’s the director’s first movie since his 2012 hit Django Unchained, but judging by the chilling sneak peek at much-anticipated western, it was well worth the wait.

The Hateful Eight — starring Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Dern, and Tim Roth — is set several years after the end of the Civil War, and tells the story of eight gun-toting outlaws who take shelter in the same tiny shack in Wyoming during a heavy blizzard.

In true Tarantino form, it looks like a shootout ensues.

“Move a little strange, you gonna get a bullet. Not a warning. Not a question. A bullet,” Samuel L. Jackson’s character warns.

Tarantino’s eighth film came close to never happening, with the filmmaker almost scrapping the flick after the first draft of his script was leaked in 2014.

The Hateful Eight is slated for a January 2016 release in Australia.
