Finalmente una news ufficiale sul cast completo di The Hateful Eight. Dopo tanti rumors e speculazioni, finalmente la produzione ha annunciato sinossi e presenze:
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…
Confermate le new entry di Channing Tatum, in un piccolo ruolo e Demian Bichir nel ruolo di Bob. Accanto a loro ci saranno Samuel L. Jackson as Major Marquis Warren,Kurt Russell as John “The Hangman” Ruth, Jennifer Jason Leigh as Daisy Domergue, Walton Goggins as Chris Mannix, Tim Roth as Oswaldo Mobray, Michael Madsen as Joe Gage and Bruce Dern as General Sanford Smithers.
Rispetto alle ipotesi originali il nome che manca è quello di Christoph Waltz, che avrebbe dovuto interpretare il francese Bob, oggi sostituito da Bichir. Verosimilmente il personaggio non è più un francese…
Mentre rispetto alla lettura teatrale del copione avvenuta a Los Angeles lo scorso aprile, due sono le novità:Jennifer Jason Leigh al posto di Amber Tamblyn e Demian Bichir appunto al posto di Denis Menochet.
Il film dovrebbe essere pronto per i festival d’autunno, con la prima fissata a Venezia e Toronto, probabilmente.
