Hateful Eight: Ce que l'on va rater... Ou pas.

Avec le script en liberté sur le marché, il fallait bien que des infos commencent à circuler. C'est chose faite ce matin à travers le toujours très bien renseigné blog Indiewire (et le non-moins rensiegné The Wrap) qui évoque pêle-mêle l'intrigue (une histoire classique de chasseurs de primes), les noms des 5 chapitres ("Last Stage to Red Rock,” “Son of A Gun,” “Minnie’s,” "The Four Passengers” and “Black Night, White Hell.” ), les noms des personnages principaux (avec un FrenchMan... Jean Dujardin vient de rater le dernier Tarantino) ainsi que la volonté de tourner le tout en 70 mm à la façon de Paul Thomas Anderson dans The Master pour reprendre l'un des exemples les plus récents. Et cadeau: la première page du script... avec une diligence... tiens, tiens...

Citation:

The script is an ensemble Western with obvious parts for Madsen and Dern, as well as Tarantino stalwarts like Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz. Jackson and Madsen would likely both play bounty hunters returning human plunder to a town called Red Rock in exchange for hefty rewards. Their characters, a former major in the Union army and a man named John Ruth, dominate the first two of the script’s five chapters.

They run into a Southerner named Chris Mannix on the road, and three of them, along with their driver — a living prisoner and three dead bounties strapped to the roof — arrive at a haberdashery to take shelter from an oncoming blizzard. Yet the proprietors, Minnie, Sweet Dave and her other colleagues, are nowhere to be found. In their place are four men, a Southern general (likely Dern), an alleged hangman, a Frenchman named Bob and a cowboy named Joe Gage.

Mistrust, coffee and violence ensue.
