Trailer Description for Quentin Tarantino's 'The Hateful Eight' Confirms it won't Show Much

When it was revealed that a trailer for Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight would be playing in front of Robert Rodriguez's Sin City: A Dame to Kill For, it was a little bit weird. The film hasn't even begun shooting yet and won't until early next year, which meant it probably wasn't going to show much in the way of footage unless Tarantino cut something specific. Collider has seen the trailer and their description confirms two things: that Tarantino will shoot the film in 70mm as expected, and that the trailer has no actual footage. Here's what they had to say about it...

As for the trailer, it contains no footage.  It opens on snow dunes, a western-style ballad with titles about strangers being stranded in a blizzard, but “They soon discovered they shared a deadly connection” (blood spatters on titles).  The western ballad begins to rock (I can’t identify the song) as the title comes up “The New Film by Quentin Tarantino”; then it lists the Hateful Eight:

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

Then we see bloody numbers count up to “8″, which leads to “8 MAKES HATE”.  Gunshots then shoot off “makes” then “hate” before the title turns to “The H8Ful Eight”.  The music returns to a more classic western tune (there’s whistling), and puts up “From Academy Award Winner Quentin Tarantino”.

Not a word on the cast, either, which was the bare minimum of what most were expecting. Oh well. No wonder the trailer isn't going to make it online. What would be the point if there's nothing to see?
