Figured this needed its own thread.

Shooting has started.

Http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/movies/moviesnow/la-et-mn-tarantino-hateful-eight-supporting-cast-20150123-story.html

Almost a year to the day after an irate Quentin Tarantino declared that he would shelve his ensemble western "The Hateful Eight" over a script leak, shooting has started on the much-discussed movie.

The Weinstein Co. announced Friday that principal photography has begun in Telluride, Colo., with a cast bolstered by supporting actors Zoe Bell, James Parks, Dana Gourrier, Gene Jones, Keith Jefferson, Lee Horsley, Craig Stark and Belinda Owino. All save Jones have worked with Tarantino before.

They join previously named headliners Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Demian Bichir, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern and Channing Tatum.

Slated for release later this year in "glorious 70 mm," the film is set in the aftermath of the Civil War and tells the story of a mistrustful group of motley characters who are stranded by a blizzard at a stagecoach stopover in the middle of nowhere.

Their ranks include a bounty hunter (Russell) and his quarry (Leigh), another bounty hunter who's a former Union soldier (Jackson), a Southern renegade claiming to be the new town sheriff (Goggins) and a cowpuncher (Madsen)

Harvey Weinstein Says Quentin Tarantino Has Changed The Last Chapter Of 'The Hateful Eight'

Last week, Quentin Tarantino officially started production on "The Hateful Eight." It was the dramatic conclusion to a year that saw him initially cancel the movie entirely after the script leaked, only to rebound, giving a live read of his new work-in-progress screenplay (read our review), and then returning to the project full force, with a planned release of the finished film shot in 70mm later this year. But what has changed in the post-Civil War set movie that tracks a group of rogues who meet and clash in haberdashery in the Old West? Well, Harvey Weinstein has a little tease.

"Im pretty close to him, but I had to go to the house and read the last chapter and it has changed. Right now, theres one guy who knows the ending. The one I read, he made adjustments that will shock, surprise and delight. Me, the whole cast, were all guessing. Theres only one guy who knows what will happen," Weinstein told Deadline.

In case you forgot and didn't know, the leaked versions of "The Hateful Eight" revealed the story was divided into six chapters, in what was essentially a two-act film. In our assessment of that old screenplay from a year ago, we noted "the somewhat anti-climactic nature of the finale" and figured Tarantino "would still finesse things a bit." And it looks like he has.

The short plot synopsis from your link already sounds like a Tarantino classic

So the basic set up of The Hateful Eight, as released this past week, is that Russell’s bounty hunter is delivering Leigh’s fugitive to Roth’s hangman in a town called Red Rock. The near-Arctic conditions force them to hole up with Jackson and Goggins’s strangers at Minnie’s Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass.

When they arrive, they are greeted not by the proprietor but four unfamiliar faces. Demián Bichir’s Bob, who’s taking care of Minnie’s while she’s visiting her mother; Roth’s Oswaldo Mobray; Michael Masden’s cow puncher; and Bruce Dern’s Confederate General Sanford Smithers.
 
Read the script and was less than impressed but I'll leave it to Q to make a great movie out of it.

Since the leak, he reworked the script in 2nd and 3rd drafts (and not just the ending), so while its probably not totally different, I'm sure its not quite the same script you read.
 
This comes out this winter, right? This and the new Star Wars movie both around Christmas will send me to the theater, possibly for a double-feature. I may only buy one ticket and try to theater hop. Not to save the $10, just because I've never done it and it would make me feel like an outlaw.

Did this last night with Furious 7 and It Follows. I was like Billy the Kid watching It Follows with one eye on the flick and the other on the entrance looking for "the man."

Absolutely. I'm also a charter member of Sam's Army. Of course, in my case, Sam is just a random huge gay dude who likes to put twinks through his version of "basic training," but who's counting, right?

Wait. Did I say that out loud? Or just think it? Am I talking? Can they hear me?

QT should go ahead and legally change his name to "Turd Factory".

That's actually his given name, he had to change it to Quentin Tarantino because SAG already had a "Turd Factory." I'm not 100% sure but I think it was a German porn star.

 
From the film's facebook page:

"(In Spaghetti cowboy films) You wait the whole episode to find out, ‘Are they a good guy or are they a bad guy?’' So I thought, ‘What if I did a story that was made up of nothing but those characters?’ So there’s no good guys. There’s no Little Joe.”

- Quentin Tarantino

My take on the script:

"What I decided to make was a Western version of Reservoir Dogs had it all taken place in the warehouse."

 
Tarantino showed a 7 minute clip of the movie at Comic Con and imagine this:

The scenes shown had something of a Reservoir Dogs feel to them, just in that they’re set in a couple of restrictive locations (a stagecoach and a haberdashery) and the characters all seem to be at odds with one another. The result is a sort of Dogs meets Django Unchained vibe.

The Hateful Eight will also get an old-fashioned “road show” release in the 70mm format. Sam Jackson, who is one of the stars of the film, couldn’t make it to the con today but he did host a short video presentation about the history of Panavision and road shows. “It’s shot in 65mm, projected in 70, with an image twice the size of what you’re used to,” said Jackson. “Which makes it even doper!” That pretty much sums it up, but how great is it that Tarantino used the forum of Comic-Con to celebrate film history?

In fact, he said that one of the reasons why he wanted to shoot Hateful Eight in the format (which is actually shot in 65mm but projected in 70mm) is because it will still mean “there is 70mm film out there somewhere.” He also said that the lenses used to shoot the film aren’t just the same type that were used on films like Ben-Hur, “They used THESE lenses on Ben Hur.”

I like QT's movies in general but I hated how he acted like a total ##### and basically took his ball and went home when the script got leaked. I'll probably watch it anyway.

"I'm looking forward to my movie breaking that notion that 70mm is for travelogues. 'It's to shoot Lawrence of Arabia, desertscapes, and mountainscapes.' No. When you shoot 70mm indoors, it's more intimate. More vivid and vital. It's not just for shooting scenery. It's for shooting great drama."
