As a movie that almost got shelved when its script was leaked, "Hateful Eight" looks like it is well on its way. Cast includes James Parks, Dana Gourrier, Keith Jefferson, Craig Stark, Lee Horseley, Belinda Owino, Zoe Bell and Gene Jones as some of the director's frequent talents. Joning them are Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russel, Demian Bichir, Channing Tatum, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tim Roth, Bruce Dern and Michael Madsen.
Here's the official Synopsis for the film via Screen Rant.
"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 (Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (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 (Jackson), a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (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 (Bichir), who's taking care of Minnie's while she's visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray (Roth), the hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage (Madsen), and Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Dern). As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all."
