Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight

Re: Tarantino's New Project "A Western"

Lovd Django from start to finish, moreso than almost all his other movies. Kill Bill to me doesn't really get interesting until Lucy Liu's introduction, then from that point on it seems like the quality of the film (music, pacing, mood, style) improves and is more memorable. Inglorious Basterds should have had more of the Basterds (come to think of it, looking back at it, as much as I loved Brad Pitt & co., they aren't in it very much for a long film). With "Django", Tarantino really had two main characters worth following the entire time and I couldn't get enough of them.

But this idea intrigues me. Westerns typically have very colorful characters. Can you imagine, for instance, a "Magnificent Seven" movie with the Tarantino-ish characters? Just as an example..

Re: Tarantino's New Project "A Western"

The only thing that I wish Tarantino changed with Django is the following

Spoiler

I wish DiCaprio figured it out on his own that he was being played. It would have made him that much menacing of a villain. It would have been great if the audience didn't know that he figured it out, and then whamo, at the dinner table, he pulls out the skull, and you don't know where he is going at first until the reveal.

Other than that, LOVED the movie.

I really enjoyed Django, hoping this new one is something different and fresh. I really enjoyed Inglorious Bastards and it's probably favorite QT film.

Quentin Tarantino's THE HATEFUL EIGHT

It appears that we may have a new Quentin Tarantino film to look forward to sooner rather than later. Just before the holidays, Tarantino revealed that his follow-up to Django Unchained would be another Western, adding, “I had so much fun doing Django, and I love Westerns so much that after I taught myself how to make one, it’s like ‘OK! Let me make another one now that I know what I’m doing.” While the filmmaker didn’t add anymore details about the project other than the fact that he was in the process of writing the screenplay, it appears that he’s close enough to finishing the script that he’s now showing it to a handful of actors that he wants for the lead roles. Titled The Hateful Eight, Tarantino is reportedly eyeing regular collaborator Christoph Waltz and veteran actor Bruce Dern for to star in his next film.

Though we are still a little ways from Tarantino’s next pic actually firming up, Deadline reports that the pic has a working title of The Hateful Eight (how fantastic is that?) and the writer/director has two actors in mind for roles right now: Christoph Waltz and Bruce Dern. Tarantino has worked with Waltz on his last two pictures, Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained, netting Waltz Best Supporting Actor Oscars for both roles in the process, so news of the actor’s possible involvement isn’t altogether surprising. However, the prospect of Bruce Dern starring in a Quentin Tarantino film is very exciting.

Dern has been making the awards circuit rounds over the past few months for his excellent work in Alexander Payne’s latest pic Nebraska, and the 77-year-old actor seems all but poised to land a Best Actor Oscar nomination come next week. Tarantino’s script isn’t finalized just yet, as he likes to take a solid draft out to his actors first and then take another pass before moving forward into pre-production, so filming on The Hateful Eight likely wouldn’t get underway until late this year. There’s also no guarantee that Dern and Waltz will absolutely be starring in the pic, but they are definitely promising possibilities.
Hopefully we hear more soon, but right now it’s looking like we might have a new Quentin Tarantino movie to add to the insane 2015 release calendar—or maybe even Fall 2014 if he’s feeling as ambitious as he was with Django, as THR says filming is likely to begin this summer.

I started a thread for this somewhere a few weeks ago but I can't find it right now because I don't know where the topics we've created thing went under our profiles. Looking forward to him having another go at this genre very much.

Not really looking forward to this until more actors are announced. I might be in the minority but I found Inglorious and Django extremely underwhelming. I hope for the best with this one though.

Django should have been better but Basterds was awesome.

"if he's feeling as ambitious as he was with Django..." Didn't that film take hella long to make?

Re: Quentin Tarantino's THE HATEFUL EIGHT

I don’t think they are bad, but I think they are very overrated. Also Christoph Waltz being in this makes me believe this will be filmed the same way he filmed his last two. The whole quirky Christoph Waltz character is not something I will look forward to seeing 3 times straight.

Re: Quentin Tarantino's THE HATEFUL EIGHT

Ah good, the Master returns! So happy to hear that Mr. Waltz is in it

Tarantino and Waltz are just my favourite director/actor duo right now!

Tarantino's whole schtick is quirky characters. He's never made a film without them.

As always. I'm on board.... .....

Tarantino's whole schtick is quirky characters. He's never made a film without them.

and this is why Django didn't work for me. I honestly didn't like it. I didn't find it enjoyable. It's like, I usually enjoy Tarantino's quirkiness and odd randomness, his long conversations that go nowhere and all that.
But with Django, I don't know I couldn't take that subject matter in a quirky way. Inglorious was different because it was still kind of an action movie, and they didn't show any of the camps or anything like that.
Django to me was in bad taste.

Re: Quentin Tarantino's THE HATEFUL EIGHT

The films he makes these days are nothing like what he was doing in the past. Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown, and Reservoir Dogs are great movies that are more than just style. These days, I feel he is falling into his own hype, or dialogue and music. Django could have been so much better as well as Inglorious but he seems to try and do to much these days and it just makes for an inconsistent film for me. Django could have had some really emotional scenes, but one second you see a slave being abused, the next you hear western music and strange zooming in and out of the camera which really takes me out of what is happening emotionally. I always appreciate subtle greatness, and he seems straying very far from that these days.

I actually agree with you. Seems like he's become a parody of himself in much the same way Romero has.

I'd watch it on DVD.
