Following the critical and commercial success of Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino announced another Western, titled The Hateful Eight. The title is a play on The Magnificent Seven (the American remake of Akira Kurosawa's Seven Samurai). As usual with every Tarantino film, this will have Samuel L. Jackson in it.
What will make this completely different from every Tarantino film is a dedicated soundtrack score. In the past, Tarantino would create a playlist of songs for a film instead of hiring a film score composer. For The Hateful Eight, legendary Italian composer Ennio Morricone (The Man with No Name Trilogy, The Untouchables) will provide the orchestral score.
The Hateful Eight premieres in 70mm format theaters in Christmas 2015 and in regular theaters on January 6, 2016. Quentin Tarantino's New Western Is The Hateful Eight Tarantino's New Western Called Hateful Eight, May Start Filming This Summer
