Everybody knows the deal on Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight, right? Script leaks, legal disputes, table reads, changes of heart, yadda yadda yadda? Good. It was just last month that the first poster for the Western was released promising it would hit theaters in 2015, all of this before filming begins early next year. That's pretty early to start the marketing campaign before a lick of footage has been shot, right? Well then it's REALLY early to be releasing a trailer, isn't it?
According to Slashfilm a trailer for The Hateful Eight will run before showings of Robert Rodriguez's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Obviously Tarantino and Rodriguez are pals so the placement makes sense, but how can there be a trailer so soon? Their information seems solid, though, with the teaser said to run for 1:47 exclusively in theaters. That's right, the footage won't be available online meaning you'll need to buy a ticket to see it. Since production hasn't officially started it may be that Tarantino has filmed something specifically for the trailer. That run time is a bit too long for just a couple of images and some music, right?
So now you have one more reason to check out Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. Here's the synopsis for The Hateful Eight which we know will star Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, and more.
"The Hateful Eight follows the steadily ratcheting tension that develops after a blizzard diverts a stagecoach from its route, and traps a pitiless and mistrustful group which includes a competing pair of bounty hunters, a renegade Confederate soldier, and a female prisoner in a saloon in the middle of nowhere."
