One of the first posters for Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight has landed and it features one-quarter of the stars of the film, all in snowy glory.
Kurt Russell’s lawman John Ruth is taking fugitive Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh) through the blistering snow in the latest one-sheet from the film that also stars Samuel. L. Jackson, Bruce Dern, Michael Madsen, Tim Roth, Demian Bichir, and Walter Goggins.
What is so fascinating about this poster is most films with a cast like this will roll out character posters. What we have here is a pair making their debut. Notice the two grey lines among the six red lines on the one-sheet that signify the eight of the title?
Fascinating stuff from the marketing team at the Weinstein Company, who will release the film in select theaters on December 25. It will then go wide nationally on January 8, 2016.
Tarantino’s last film, Django Unchained, won a few Oscars. Will his latest? We’d bet on it.
