the use of Jim Croce's "I Got a Name" in Django Unchained was one of the highlights of that film (which, I agree, was coarser than Tarantino's previous films). it almost convinced me that I liked Jim Croce; then I listened again to his other songs and was set right.

I think his use of music has become more and more like the way Godard uses music––more emblematic and contrary than it is meant to compliment what's going on. I appreciate that a lot. For me Inglourious Basterds is still one of the best movies of recent years. And I felt Django Unchained was coarse on purpose. I know people hated the Cat People theme in Inglourious Basterds, but I thought it was a really neat moment––one which wouldn't have been as special without that strange association.

What strange association?

To Cat People presumably.

I don't mind the cue itself... It's not eye rolling like the Tupac, which is just a bad mashup in the first place. But the very matching of sound and image, the very rhythm of the scene, strikes me as imprecise. To me, perhaps Tarantino's strongest point has always been his formal attention to detail and rhythm. And it's something I feel has gotten sloppy over the last two, more ambitious films.

Tatum confirmed for a smaller role in the film. Demián Bichir also cast.

uggh so he's just casting actors who are 'hot' now. a shame

Cold Bishop · #59 Post by **Cold Bishop** » Thu Nov 06, 2014 11:56 pm

Yeah, because Tarantino doesn't seem like the kind of guy who'd like the Jump Street films.

Calm down and be glad it's simply a small role.

God, there are a lot of rather unnecessarily rude people on this forum, aren't there?

You say based on one person making a level-headed comment?

Yeah, that Hateful Eight cast is just bursting with hot young actors

As per in70mm.com, Tarantino and DP Robert Richardson are reviving the Ultra Panavision format (though maybe not calling it that) - 65mm film plus anamorphic lenses, with a projection ratio of 2.75:1. The film will also have an overture and intermission.

Yeah, babies now rule the world.

Tarantino is just co-opting cosplay to reach millennials.

More images, presumably from the EW article.

First look at the film proper happened at an event over the Weekend, and here's a picture showing the extra-wide in action:

Also interesting is that apparently somebody at the same event mentioned the same lenses are being used for Star Wars Anthology: Rogue One next year. Should be nice to see (if only a brief) revival of this brand of widescreen.

As the Odeon West End has now closed, the Odeon Leicester Square is currently as far as I know the only cinema in London's West End which can still show 70mm, as it did with Interstellar at the end of last year, though the new Picturehouse Central (opening this month) will have it in one screen. I've seen films projected in 70mm many times, but never so far in Ultra Panavision, so even if this film is crap it's going to look spectacular.

This will premiere only in theatres equipped to play 70mm on Christmas Day, with a wider opening coming January 8th

A passage from this recent Variety article strongly suggests that Ennio Morricone will compose original music for The Hateful Eight:

Tarantino was handed the two statuettes by composer Ennio Morricone. Both artists revealed that they met in Rome yesterday and Morricone has agreed to compose music for a Tarantino movie, most probably Tarantino’s upcoming “The Hateful Eight,” for which the Weinstein Company has set a Christmas Day launch in the U.S.

Sounds great, but I'll only believe it when I see a "Music Composed, Orchestrated, and Conducted by Ennio Morricone" credit on an upcoming Hateful Eight poster.

Morricone will indeed be scoring it, his first western score in 40 years
