Video: The trailer for Quentin Tarantino’s new film The Hateful Eight has landed

“Move a little strange and you’re gonna get a bullet”

Few directors are almost a guaranteed draw to fill cinemas but Quentin Tarantino has frequently proven that he’s unlike any other director.

The first trailer for his latest film The Hateful Eight has just been released and it’s filled with everything that you would expect from a QT film.

Guns, dialogue, action and some regular stalwarts like Samuel L. Jackson, Michael Madsen and Tim Roth are all prominent here.

So what’s it about?

While racing toward the town of Red Rock in post-Civil War Wyoming, bounty hunter John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell) and his fugitive prisoner (Jennifer Jason Leigh) encounter another bounty hunter (Samuel L. Jackson) and a man (Walton Goggins) who claims to be a sheriff. Hoping to find shelter from a blizzard, the group travels to a stagecoach stopover located on a mountain pass. There, they encounter four strangers, and soon learn that they may not make it to their destination after all.

Having seen this trailer, it seems like a wonderful mix of Reservoir Dogs and Django Unchained.

The film is scheduled for release over the Christmas period.
