"We've only seen little teases of Quentin Tarantino's eighth film The Hateful Eight, but finally—a little over four months ahead of its Christmas release date—the first trailer is here. And as Leonardo DiCaprio's Monsieur Calvin Candie said in Django Unchained, "Gentleman, you had my curiosity, but now you have my attention." We know the bare bones of the story: John "The Hangman" Ruth (Kurt Russell) takes wanted murderer Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh) hostage, but is forced to take refuge in a stagecoach stopover with a few unsavory characters during a blizzard. There are glimpses of the rest of the eight throughout, from Major Marquis "The Bounty Hunter" Warren (Samuel L. Jackson) and Chris "The Sheriff" Mannix (Walton Goggins) to Joe "The Cow Puncher" Gage (Michael Madsen) and Oswaldo "The Little Man" Mobray (Tim Roth). It's a star-studded lineup of actors who turn in their very best work in Tarantino films, alongside newcomers like Demián Bichir as Bob/"The Mexican" and Bruce Dern as General Sanford "The Confederate" Smithers. Compared to Tarantino's blaxploitation Western Django, this looks to be a more traditional entry in the genre, eccentric facial hair, stagecoaches thundering down snowy roads, and all. But one look at how Leigh makes a mockery of Russell's introductions in Minnie's Haberdashery, and you can tell it's quintessential Quentin. The film will play in 70mm for its first two weeks, and from the looks of this trailer, the blood, snow, and wood will be rendered even more gorgeous in that format. We're like gunslinging duelists with itchy trigger fingers waiting to see this one…"
