Quentin Tarantino joins seven of his Hateful Eight castmembers at Comic-Con... and reveals retired composer Ennio Morricone will score the western!
Quentin Tarantino joined seven of his Hateful Eight castmembers for a panel at Comic-Con in San Diego on Saturday.
Seven minutes of footage from the 70mm snowy western was screened for the 6,000 fans packed into the convention center's historic Hall H.
The 52-year-old filmmaker announced that famed spaghetti western composer Ennio Morricone came out of retirement to score TH8.
It's the 86-year-old maestro's first film in 40 years, and Tarantino previously repurposed his songs for Inglourious Basterds and Django Unchained.
The Weinstein Company just unveiled the highly-anticipated flick's new poster, and the worldwide release happens January 8 (following a limited US release December 25).
The ensemble cast acted on a 30F-degree refrigerated set (like on The Exorcist) to duplicate a cramped 1888 stagecoach during a Wyoming blizzard.
The Hateful Eight was almost entirely scrapped by the 'p***ed' two-time Oscar-winning writer after first-draft of his script leaked on Gawker in January 2014.
