Looks terrific.

Lolled really hard at Leigh's pantomiming behind Russel, I could see her being a dark horse in this

[Tommy Bunz]

Yeah looks awesome. Leigh's always been underrated as shit, she's one of the most down-ass actresses in cinema history.
I wonder how many times Tarantino watched The Petrified Forest and Key Largo while writing this.

[alpha]

Me too. Trailer looks fantastic. Still in!

Great interview. He summed up It Follows really well, although I guess I liked it a lot more than he did.

The last time that I felt competitive was when I was doing Kill Bill and my competition was The Matrix Reloaded. That was the sword of Damocles hanging over our heads. I saw Matrix Reloaded at the Chinese Theatre the day it opened, and I walked out of the cinema singing that Jay Z song: “S-dot-Carter / Y’all must try harder / Competition is nada.” I was like, Bring it the fuck on. I was worried about that? Ho-ly shit.

Largest police union has a 'surprise' planned for Quentin Tarantino

Posted November 6 2015 — 8:37 AM EST

The Fraternal Order of Police, which counts more than 300,000 police officers among its ranks, has a “surprise” in store for Quentin Tarantino and his film, The Hateful Eight.

“Something is in the works, but the element of surprise is the most important element,” Jim Pasco, executive director of the Fraternal Order of Police, told The Hollywood Reporter. “Something could happen anytime between now and [the debut of Hateful Eight]. And a lot of it is going to be driven by Tarantino, who is nothing if not predictable.” Pasco added that his group, the largest police organization in the world, would be “opportunistic.”

Tarantino has come under attack from police groups ever since participating in a rally against police brutality. “I’m a human being with a conscious. And when I see murder I cannot stand by,” Tarantino said last month. “And I have to call the murdered the murdered and I have to call the murderers the murderers.”

Those comments drew the ire of many, including NYC Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association president Patrick J. Lynch, who called Tarantino a “cop-hater.” Police organizations around the country called for a boycott of The Hateful Eight, which is out on Christmas Day.

“That’s their way. They’re being inflammatory, they’re slandering me,” Tarantino said of the controversy in an interview this week. “I’m not a cop-hater, but that’s the way the attack me is calling me a cop-hater. … It’s much easier to feign outrage and start arguments with celebrities than to deal with the fact that the citizenry has lost trust in them.”

Tarantino has received some support since making his comments, including from director Michael Moore, who wrote on Instagram that certain police officers are “out to get Tarantino.” And in speaking to THR, Pasco said some kind of retribution was part of the agenda.

“The right time and place will come up and we’ll try to hurt him in the only way that seems to matter to him, and that’s economically,” he said.

You act like that's a bad thing. Compared to most writers and directors it's refreshing to get someone as open about the process as he his. His anecdotes are appreciated as well. Seems like a good dude.

'Hateful Eight' Pirated Screener Traced Back to Top Hollywood Executive (Exclusive)

A copy mailed to Alcon Entertainment co-CEO Andrew Kosove was uploaded to file-sharing sites as the FBI probes a damaging leak of the Quentin Tarantino film. "I've never seen this DVD," Kosove tells THR. "It's never touched my hands."

A copy of the new Quentin Tarantino movie The Hateful Eight that leaked online earlier this week has been linked to a top Hollywood film executive, sources tell The Hollywood Reporter.

Andrew Kosove, co-CEO of production-finance company Alcon Entertainment, was sent the “screener” copy of Hateful Eight for year-end awards consideration. That copy was signed for by an office assistant and later shared online, where it is now circulating on multiple file-sharing sites. Sources say officials with the FBI, working in conjunction with distributor The Weinstein Co., have been able to pinpoint Kosove's copy of the film as the source of the leak from a watermark on the DVD sent to him. FBI agents are visiting Alcon’s Century City headquarters Tuesday to determine the chain of custody of the DVD and who is responsible for its uploading. Alcon is cooperating fully in the investigation.

"I've never seen this DVD," Kosove tells THR in an interview. "It's never touched my hands. We're going to do more than cooperate with the FBI. We're going to conduct our own investigation to find out what happened."

Indeed, it is likely that Kosove is a victim in this leak rather than the perpetrator. Another employee at Alcon could have obtained and uploaded the DVD, or someone who either was given the screener or stole it could be responsible. Regardless, between 200,000 and 600,000 downloads of the film, depending on various reports, occurred the first day it was available online. Physical copies of Hateful Eight have been seen for sale on street corners in China and other markets.

According to a “Web Watch” report produced in response to the leak and shared with THR, an office assistant named "Tom" signed for the DVD at Alcon's offices. Later, a hacker or hackers identifying themselves as Hive-CM8 uploaded the Hateful Eight file after attempting to remove watermark technology from the DVD, which was manufactured by Deluxe. A message posted in a file-sharing chat room stated Hateful Eight was “one of 40” current movies that would be uploaded by Hive-CM8. “Will do all of them one after another … started with the hottest title of the year. Others will follow.”

Movie screeners are a Hollywood tradition during the annual awards season. It’s generally accepted that a distributor is all but required to send screeners to the voting members of the Academy, Screen Actors Guild and other awards bodies if a film hopes to garner nominations for Oscars, SAG Awards and other accolades.

But over the past decade, as file-sharing services have proliferated, screeners have leaked online with greater frequency. In 2003, the MPAA briefly banned studios from sending out screeners in response to the problem. That policy didn’t last, but in 2004, the Academy voted to expel member Carmine Caridi, a 70-year-old actor who appeared in The Godfather, after he admitted sending copies of movies in the awards race to a friend in Chicago. (Films that popped up online were traced back to Caridi's screeners.) Later, an Illinois man was arrested for allegedly duping Caridi into turning over his screeners; the man eventually pleaded guilty to copyright infringement.

In more recent years, screeners of several top movies have leaked online. The most damage can be caused to films that are not in general release when screeners are shared. Hateful Eight — a highly-anticipated $70 million Western starring Samuel L. Jackson and Kurt Russell, which opens in limited release Friday and goes wide Dec. 31 — falls into that category. So does The Revenant, another big-budget film whose screener leaked online earlier this week. That film, starring Leonardo DiCaprio and directed by Alejandro G. Inarritu, opens in limited release Friday and expands nationwide Jan. 8. It’s unclear if Kosove’s screener is the source of that leak as well.

Alcon, the film financier and production company backed by FedEx founder Fred Smith, is perhaps best known for the 2009 smash The Blind Side. The company, which has distribution deal at Warner Bros, is run by Kosove (who was nominated for a best picture Oscar for producing Blind Side) and co-CEO Broderick Johnson.

Alcon’s latest movie, a $100 million remake of the 1991 Kathryn Bigelow action-thriller Point Break, is set to hit U.S. theaters on Friday. Kosove says he is "furious" at the leak of his DVD, which he says is a symbol of widespread online "theft" of films. "It's not an issue of just one movie," he says. "This is a threat to an entire industry."
