The Hateful Eight

The Hateful Eight

The events take place a few years after the Civil War. Bounty hunter John "Kat" Root accompanies Daisy Domergue, a fugitive accused of murder, to Red Rock to be hanged. On the way, travelers meet two: former soldier Mark Warren, who became a mercenary, and Chris Mannix, who calls himself the sheriff. When the four are caught up in a blizzard, they end up at Minnie's Haberdashery in search of shelter. The store is not empty, new strangers are waiting for the new arrivals - Bob "Mexican", who oversees the store, hangman Osvaldo Mowbray, cowboy Joe Gage and Sanford "Confederate" Smithers. All eight have a dark past and a bad reputation. And Daisy has a reward for escaping. Read more Before work on the film "The Despicable Eight" began, the script was leaked to the Internet. Quentin Tarantino was upset and did not want to do the film. But the cast, after a short reading of the story, was so excited and stunned that they persuaded the director to shoot. It is interesting that in Tarantino's filmography this is his eighth work, and the number 8 is also present in the title. The same story was with the Italian Federico Fellini and his film "Eight and a Half". The most famous composer Ennio Morricone was engaged in the music for the film "The Despicable Eight". Among his works are "Malena" by Giuseppe Tornatore with Monica Bellucci, "The Untouchables" by Brian De Palma, "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​by Sergio Leone with Robert De Niro, "The Professional", "The Twentieth Century" by Bernardo Bertolucci, "Once Upon a Time in the Wild West" and many others. For Morricone, this will be the first western in 40 years. The movie "The Hateful Eight" was filmed in the Rocky Mountains, and in particular around the small town of Tellurida in the southwestern part of the state of Colorado. This place was chosen for a reason. The landscapes are breathtaking, and the nature is untouched. "Minnie's haberdashery" was built for filming 10 km from the city.
