Watch Tarantino’s leaked ‘The Hateful Eight’ teaser trailer

Not much is known about Quentin Tarantino’s new upcoming movie, The Hateful Eight. This means that every sliver of information is precious to us. This latest taster we get is a trailer caught by a smartphone camera and posted on YouTube.

By now, we can tell from the teaser and poster art that the movie is going to be a Western. It seems Tarantino got bitten by the cowboys-and-crooks bug since Django: Unchained — which is probably a good thing and a genre that’s rather quiet today, think tumbleweeds.

According to the uploaded, the smartphone caught footage missed the first 8 to 14 seconds of the trailer. Have a gander:

The trailer introduces eight characters cut from different cloths but all “share a deadly connection”. They are as follows:

1. Major Marquis Warren — “The Bounty Hunter”
2. John Ruth — “The Hangman”
3. Daisy Dermargue — “The Prisoner”
4. Chris Mannix — “The Sheriff”
5. Bob — “The Mexican”
6. Oswaldo Mobray — “The Little Man”
7. Joe Gage — “The Cow Puncher”
8. General Sandy Smithers — “The Confederate”

Needless to say there will be a lot of blood. The trailer also ends off by announcing that the movie will be screened in “glorious 70mm” which means high-resolution film stock, twice as large as normal 35mm. Examples of this film technology in action include IMAX productions, and movies like Ben-Hur and The Master.

The Hateful Eight screening will start in 2015.
