Quentin Tarantino's "The Hateful Eight" 1st teaser arrives online

The first teaser for Quentin Tarantino's new movie "The Hateful Eight", which was attached to "Sin City: A Dame to Kill For" last summer, has arrived online. At the point "The Hateful Eight" teaser was released, Quentin hadn't started shooting, so it didn't include any actual footage from the movie.

The clip opens with a snowy and abandoned old-Western background. A description of the storyline then appears, reading, "On the edge of the American frontier, some time after the Civil War, eight strangers were stranded by a blizzard. They soon discovered they shared a deadly connection."

The all-white screen becomes smeared with blood splatters before a list of the eight connected characters Marquis Warren "The Bounty Hunter", John Ruth "The Hangman", Daisy Domergue "The Prisoner", Chris Mannix "The Sheriff", Bob "The Mexican", Oswaldo Mobray "The Little Man", Joe Gage "The Cow Puncher" and General Sandy Smithers "The Confederate" apppears.

"The Hateful Eight" starring Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Demian Bichir, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen and Bruce Dern will be released later this year in 70mm.
