Watch The First Trailer For Quentin Tarantino’s THE HATEFUL EIGHT

By Tom Stockman | August 12, 2015

Kurt Russell, stuck in the snow with eight strangers, uttering the line “One of them fellas is not what he says he is.” But it’s not THE THING – it’s the trailer for THE HATEFUL EIGHT and it had me at “Got room for one more?” This long-awaited trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s eighth film is exactly how a trailer should be cut, showing us just a basic synopsis of the movie and who’s in it. It’s not like so many others that show us the best parts of the movie, then show what happens at the end so we really don’t need to bother seeing the film. THE HATEFUL EIGHT looks to have eight unique and interesting characters and I can’t wait until Christmas!

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 (Kurt Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason 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 (Samuel L. Jackson), a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (Walton 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 (Demian Bichir), who’s taking care of Minnie’s while she’s visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray (Tim Roth), the hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage (Michael Madsen), and Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Bruce Dern).

As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all…
