'The Hateful Eight' Trailer Video Makes Its Debut to Delight of Tarantino Movie Fans
The Weinstein Company recently released Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight" trailer, starring Samuel L. Jackson and Kurt Russell.
Quentin Tarantino's upcoming western, "The Hateful Eight" rolled out its first trailer, featuring a snow-covered Wyoming, and an encounter between eight strangers in a stagecoach stopover where tensions arise when they are trapped indoors by a blizzard.
The film's story is set a few years after the American Civil War where the eight characters with disparate personalities and sinister backstories seek shelter in a haberdashery when a blizzard hits a mountain pass, effectively snowing them all in together.

Jennifer Jason Leigh plays Daisy Domergue, a fugitive whom Russell's bounty hunter character, John Ruth is escorting into the town of Red Rock to meet her fate on the hangman's noose.
Jackson plays Major Marquis Warren, a black ex-Union soldier, who is joined by the rest of the cast: a Confederate general (Bruce Dern), a cow-puncher (Michael Madsen), a Southern sheriff (Walton Goggins), the haberdashery's Mexican caretaker (Demian Bichir) and the town's hangman (Tim Roth).
As the main characters huddle in the haberdashery, they find out they may be in danger of not making it back to their destination, the town of Red Rock.
Other actors round up the cast, including James Parks as the stagecoach driver; Dana Gourrier as Minnie, the haberdashery owner; Gene Jones, Keith Jefferson, Lee Horsely, Zoe Bell, and Belinda Owino.
Unlike another of Tarantino's Westerns, the 2012 "Django Unchained," "The Hateful Eight" presents a more traditional look at the Old West with characters sporting multiple styles of facial hair, and stagecoaches traversing snowy mountain roads.
Missing from the trailer is the director's usual blood and gore, which are expected to make their appearance in the main film when the movie opens in theaters by Christmas this year.
Tarantino has also decided to release "The Hateful Eight" in 70mm format when it first premieres on Dec. 25, and will shift to wide digital release by Jan. 8, 2016.
