Tarantino puts 'The Hateful Eight' on hold after script leaks

http://www.theverge.com/2014/1/22/5333328/tarantino-shelves-the-hateful-eight-after-agent-leaks-script

Sad Professor

Has Tarantino ever written a script that didn't leak? Kill Bill, Django and Inglorious Basterds all ended up online long before release. I always assumed it was him.

pixelburp

Wait. Wait. So he's annoyed because the script leaked and people got excited about his new project (how dare they). His response to this is to throw a huff, shelve production, and then announce he'll publish the script anyway...
I'll be honest, I'm trying really hard not to think of this as a petty, childish & attention-seeking gesture, but I just can't get there.

Whenever Tarantino shelves a project I just assume that the script wasn't up to much or else feedback was poor and he couldn't take the criticism.

Tarantino is sueing gawker for linking to the script

Happens all the time with bigger & smaller pictures; hell the cynic in me would say Hollywood is built on scripts getting passed around. Doesn't mean the scriptwriter throws a huff and decide not to bother after all. It comes across as being just a bit too precious about his work.

Although funny this thread got a bump, because the latest news is Tarantino's out to sue Gawker for leaking the script. He's not a happy bunny:

Tbf, he has done fine work since then, inglorious basterds and Django are great movies, I don't care if he believes his own hype, everyone knows they are walking into a revenge flick when they go and see one if his movies, it doesn't matter because no one does them as well.

While I agree that Tarantino has had a good output. There is still directors that can make quality revenge films as well if not better than Tarantino. The Vengeance trilogy comes to mind.

Back on but Christoph Waltz is now out


Also slightly OT but Quentin is supposedly dating Uma Thurman Source

Hande hoche!

Well that's something, film needs more Kurt Russell.

meoklmrk91

I'm glad this is back on, sounds like a fab cast too, Only disappointment for me is the lack of Christoph Waltz who I absolutely adore.

Snake Plisken

Kurt Russell I'm ok with! I'm a bit tired of the rest of the usual suspects that he has in his movies especially Samual L Jackson and Michael Madson.

Teaser trailer has leaked, no actual footage from the film in it though:

For a trailer with no footage, I enjoyed that. Better than some modern trailers with footage.

See now that's a teaser trailer.

Agreed, the Koreans seem to have nailed the genre a la Old Boy, A Bittersweet Life etc.

‘The Hateful Eight’ Shoots in Colorado in December

Now for The Hateful Eight Jennifer Jason Leigh is set as the first official cast member. She’ll play Daisy Domergue, a woman wanted for murder who begins the film in the clutches of a bounty hunter.

The Weinstein Company (TWC) announced an incredible list of top acting talent has come on board to star in Academy Award winning writer/director Quentin Tarantino's upcoming post-Civil War western, THE HATEFUL EIGHT. The Hateful Eight are: Academy Award nominee Samuel L. Jackson (DJANGO UNCHAINED) as Major Marquis Warren, Golden Globe nominee Kurt Russell (ESCAPE FROM NEW YORK) as John "The Hangman" Ruth, Golden Globe nominee Jennifer Jason Leigh (MRS. PARKER AND THE VICIOUS CIRCLE) as Daisy Domergue, Emmy nominee Walton Goggins (Justified) as Chris Mannix, Academy Award nominee Demian Bichir (A BETTER LIFE) as Bob, Academy Award nominee Tim Roth (RESERVOIR DOGS) as Oswaldo Mobray, Michael Madsen (RESERVOIR DOGS) as Joe Gage and Academy Award nominee Bruce Dern (NEBRASKA) General Sanford Smithers. Also, Channing Tatum (FOXCATCHER) has signed on for a role in the project. This will be Leigh, Bichir and Tatum's first film with Tarantino, while the rest of the cast has worked with him in the past.

In THE HATEFUL EIGHT, set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth (Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Leigh), race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as "The Hangman," will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren (Jackson), a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (Goggins), a southern renegade who claims to be the town's new Sheriff. Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie's Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass. When they arrive at Minnie's, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces. Bob (Bichir), who's taking care of Minnie's while she's visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray (Roth), the hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage (Madsen), and Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Dern). As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all

No, not an idiot.
It was well put together.

For a fake trailer it's really well done, there's a few issues, the sound mix in particular the opening voice which over is from Kill Me Three Times sounds awful.There's also a lot of shots from modern shows such as the Walton Goggins one that look really out of place. How anyone could see the first shot of Kurt Russell and not cop to the fakeness of the trailer is a lil hard to believe, it looks like some of the worst CGI that I have ever seen. Equally bad is the shot ot Tatum that I think just imposed his face onto a clup from Hell on Wheels.

grames_bond

decent attempt at a trailer from whoever did it!

Clearly a Queens of the Stone Age fan too, so that's another plus in my book! :pac:

The first trailer is out. Some of the widescreen shots look amazing but it's hard to judge the tone. I felt Inglorious and Django were a collection of great scenes that didn't quite hang together as a whole.

Agreed, particularly about Inglorious Basterds. The opening scene was so strong that I was disappointed in the rest of the movie not living up to it. Tried to rewatch it one time and was bored off my trolley by the storyline of the guy trying to woo the girl. That said, the cast were all fantastic.

This trailer looks really weird. Is this a comedy? Drama? Western? I've no idea what I just watched really but I definitely don't feel overly motivated to find out.

Mr E

Not a great trailer at all, unfortunately.

Aside from Christoph Waltz as Landa and the bar scene (Fassbender steals the show in that scene) , I just don't get the love for Inglorious Basterds. I think the problem with me is Melanie Laurent as Shosanna, we are supposed to be rooting for her but she came off really dislikeable in it for some reason (I would have liked to see Lea Seydoux in the role and see what she would have done with it). Her scenes with Daniel Bruhl were far too overloaded and you have cut them down. As Mark Kermode says Tarantino ever since Kill Bill badly needs a Harvey Weinstein to get into the editing suite and tighten his films up. But Tarantino, along with Nolan, is untouchable in Hollywood. So that's never happening.


The same thing happened with Django Unchained (his best film for me since Jackie Brown). Awesome up to when

Waltz and DiCaprio get knocked off

then it wanders off for another 30 minutes with Tarantino with awful Aussie accent that could have been cut out. For me his pinnacle was his first 3 films, he's come nowhere close to them since and his best film for me is still Jackie Brown.

I remember when Sally Menke passed away and wondering would losing her have an effect on Tarantino's films and I guess it has. Saying that she did work on Bastereds...

DJango and Basterds aren't much longer than Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown, which were both 2.5 hours plus. Tarantino's most indulgent and bloated film by far is Kill Bill and Weinstein and Menke were both involved in it. In fact, splitting it in half and padding it out was Harvey's idea. So I don't buy that Tarantino has developed an editing problem due to some or other person's non-involvement. He was always indulgent. Most of his films have no plots and consist mainly of people talking. Indulgence part of his style.

There's no jump the shark narrative with Tarantino. He's the exact same guy who made Pulp Fiction. And the films are the same too, no better nor worse. He's not grown but there's something to be said for consistency.

Tipsy McSwagger

As long as Tarantino isn't in it I'm happy.

Antibac

Looks poor from the trailer but you never know with Tarentino.

Visually it looks good

But those films flow, while you feel Basterds real start to drag after a while with his annoying speeches which Kill Bill is the worst offender, why stop in a middle of a fight for a long winded speech. He wasn't always indulgent, I don't buy into that. I felt after Jackie Brown wasn't as well received by critics and fans, it scared him off trying something different and what you got is him been indulgence with trying to please the fanboy's with nods to the past instead of him trying to involve as a filmmaker. That's why Paul Thomas Anderson is best American writer/Director today cause he doesn't try to please anyone but himself.

For me I won't deny his films are beautiful to look at but for me after Jackie Brown he lost that something special that made him great. But I be first in line to see The Hateful Eight cause although self indulgence Tarantino knows to put on a show.

I think the biggest problem with Tarantino post Jackie Brown is that he no longer had someone to bounce ideas of. Jackie Brown works so well due to the strength of the source material and many of Pulp Fiction's strongest moments are thanks to Roger Avery. Tarantino has always been self indulgent, the only difference is that the stories and dialogue are no longer as interesting.

LuckyLloyd

I'd easily place Inglorious Bastards in the same bracket as Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. I think it's a tremendous movie.

I also agree that his core style hasn't massively changed. He's gone after bigger themes and has broadened his scenes and contexts (gradual move from contemporary US based crime snippets moving broader in scope and further back in time) but I don't think anyone awakening from a coma and seeing Pulp Fiction and Inglorious Bastards would be stunned to hear it's from the same director.

As always, a Tarantino film stands tall in the modern landscape of mediocrity. I guarantee it will be arresting and produce plenty to talk about, even if he isn't ever going to make Reservoir Dogs again.

brevity

The other argument then is that the theory that his most recent movies are ones that the characters from Pulp Fiction & Jackie Brown would go see. That they are supposed to be more indulgent, almost farcical.

I disagree. I have found all his recent output to be overlong and in need of a good edit. I never found that with his first few films. It started with Kill Bill.

Anyone gonna see this in 70mm? Only one theater still has 70mm projectors and that's the Irish Film Insitute. 70mm will have a different cut compared to the digital version.
