The Hateful Eight

The Hateful Eight

The Hateful Eight (often marketed as The H8ful Eight) is a 2015 American Western film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. It stars Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Demián Bichir, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, and Bruce Dern as eight strangers who seek refuge from a blizzard in a stagecoach stopover some time after the American Civil War. Tarantino announced The Hateful Eight in November 2013. He conceived it as a novel and sequel to his previous film Django Unchained (2012) before deciding to make it a standalone film. After the script leaked in January 2014, he cancelled the film, directed a live reading at the United Artists Theater in Los Angeles, then announced that he had changed his mind. Filming began on December 8, 2014, near Telluride, Colorado. The original score was Italian composer Ennio Morricone's first for a Tarantino film, his first complete Western score in 34 years, and his first for a high-profile Hollywood production since Brian De Palma's Mission to Mars in 2000. Distributed by The Weinstein Company in the United States, The Hateful Eight was released on December 25, 2015, in a roadshow release in 70 mm film. The film had a wide digital release on December 30, 2015. It received largely positive reviews, with Leigh's performance being praised. For his work on the score, Morricone won the Golden Globe and his first Academy Award for Best Original Score. The film also earned Academy Award nominations for Best Supporting Actress (Leigh) and Best Cinematography (Robert Richardson).

Eight strangers. One deadly connection.
No One Comes Up Here Without a Damn Good Reason
The 8th film by Quentin Tarantino
The bounty hunter. The Hangman. The Confederate. The Sheriff. The Mexican. The little man. The cow puncher. The prisoner.
No one to trust. Everyone to hate.
Spend the holidays with someone you hate

[singing "Jim Jones at Botany Bay" as she keeps tabs on John Ruth]

Daisy Domergue:
Listen for a moment, lads, and hear me tell m' tale / How o'er the sea from England shore, I was condemned to sail / The jury found me guilty, sir, and said the judge, said he / For life, Jim Jones, I sentence you across the stormy sea. Take my tip before you ship to join the iron gang / Don't be too gay in Botany Bay or else you'll surely hang / Or else you'll surely hang, says he, and after that, Jim Jones / High up... high up upon... high up upon the gallows tree, the crows will pick your bones. You'll have no chance for mischief there, remember what I say / They'll flog the poaching out of you out there in Botany Bay / Waves were high upon the sea, the winds a-pproacing gales / I'd rather drowned in misery than gone to New South Wales. The waves were high upon the seas when the pirates came along / The soldiers on the convict ship were full five hundred strong / They opened fire and somehow drove that pirate ship away / I'd rather joined that pirate ship than gone to Botany Bay. And one dark night, when everything is quiet in the town...

[sees John Ruth and O.B. pouring cups of coffee]

Daisy Domergue:
I'll kill you bastards one and all, I'll gun the floggers down/ Give them all a little shock, remember what I say / They'll yet regret they sent Jim Jones in chains to Botany Bay.

[John Ruth walks up to her with coffee]

John 'The Hangman' Ruth:
That's the one you like to sing in the stagecoach, huh?

Daisy Domergue:
Yeah.

John 'The Hangman' Ruth:
It's kind of pretty. Got another verse to it?

[takes a sip of the coffee]

John 'The Hangman' Ruth:
Well, go ahead. Sing it.

Daisy Domergue:
[smiles coyly] Whatever you say, John.

[returns to singing]

Daisy Domergue:
Now day and night the irons clang and like poor galley slaves / Toil and toil and when we die must fill dishonored graves / Bye and bye, I'll break m' chains and to the bush I'll go / And you'll be dead behind me, John, when I get to Mexico.

John 'The Hangman' Ruth:
Give me that guitar!

[rips the guitar out of Daisy's hands]

John 'The Hangman' Ruth:
Music time's over!

[proceeds to smash the guitar against a support beam]

Sheriff Chris Mannix:
Well remind me, why we wouldn't just kill y'all, and cash in?

Daisy Domergue:
Oh, you can kill us all. But you'll never spend a cent of that bounty money. And you'll never leave this mountain alive. 'Cause when that snow melts, the rest of Jody's gang - ALL FIFTEEN OF 'EM - that were waiting in Redrock, are comin' here. Now, let's say you shoot us all. If you really want all that Domergue Gang bounty money, you still gotta get all our corpses into Redrock... and that ain't gonna be so easy. 'Cause I doubt you can drive a four-horse team. Yet that wagon out there is too heavy for a two-horse team; so that means you gonna have to lead a STRING OF HORSES into Redrock. And with that deep snow after a blizzard, you ain't gonna be able to get away with any more than say... one body per horse. So that's YOU, leadin' a string of four horses, into Redrock. And with all them horses, in that snow, and you all by your lonesome... you're gonna be a mite poky. And you're gonna run smack dab into The Domergue Gang. And when those FIFTEEN KILLERS come across YOU in possession of all our dead bodies, they ain't just gonna kill you and that n*gger, they're gonna go back Redrock and kill EVERY SON OF A B*TCH IN THAT TOWN. You reeally the Sheriff of Redrock? You wanna save the Town? Then SHOOT than n*gger dead! [Warren shoots her, aiming for her head but blowing her toes off instead]

Daisy Domergue:
Jesus Christ!

Major Marquis Warren:
Ohohoo! You believe in Jesus now, huh b*tch? Well good. 'Cause you 'bout to meet him!
