Three Of Tarantino's 'HATEFUL EIGHT' Make This Week's EW Cover

Talk of retirement is what looms in the wake of what lies ahead for acclaimed director Quentin Tarantino's tenth film, The Hateful Eight. For this, you have to wonder just what it will all mean for you when the film releases later this year. If you know Tarantino's work, by now you've probably fallen in love with either one or SEVERAL of his films, and I can only imagine how it will feel after the end credits myself.

Alas, EW forwarded its latest coverage on the film with a word from the cast discussing 

Tarantino's inspiration for the film, speaking of a more intimately-toned flick compared to his 2012 Blaxploitation ode, Django Unchained and the World War 2-set revenge remake, Inglorious Basterds, headlined by characters in a room who don't trust each other. This, on top of mentions of it bearing a western Iceman Cometh vibe. Interesting!

EW's coverage also unveiled its Friday magazine cover featuring Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Kurt Russell as three of our 'Hateful' cast. A teaser went viral a few months ago annoucing the film and you can find some version of it somewhere on YouTube as it seems it's not officially available just yet. In the meantime, check out the cover below the official synopsis. Walton Goggins, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Channing Tatum, Demian Bichir and Bruce Dern also star.

In THE HATEFUL EIGHT, set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth (Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Leigh), race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as “The Hangman,” will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren (Jackson), a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (Goggins), a southern renegade who claims to be the town’s new Sheriff. Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie’s Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass. When they arrive at Minnie’s, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces. Bob (Bichir), who’s taking care of Minnie’s while she’s visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray (Roth), the hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage (Madsen), and Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Dern). As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all…
