Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight coming to Blu-ray March 29
Quentin
Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight arrives on Digital HD March 15 and
Blu-ray™ Combo Pack, DVD and On Demand March 29 from Anchor Bay.
The eighth film, written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, stars
Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tim Roth and
Walton Goggins in a western that Richard Roeper of The Chicago
Sun-Times called “one of the best movies of the year.”
Anchor
Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Company are proud to present the
home entertainment release of the eighth film by two-time Academy
Award® winner Quentin Tarantino (Django Unchained, Pulp Fiction).
Shot entirely on 70mm and featuring a Golden Globe® and BAFTA®
award-winning score by Oscar® winner Ennio Morricone (Bugsy, The
Mission) THE HATEFUL EIGHT “absolutely delivers on the sheer
moment-to-moment pleasures fans have come to expect — from dynamite
dialogue to powder-keg confrontations,” Peter Debruge, Variety.
An
explosive frontier mystery about eight strangers with one deadly
connection, THE HATEFUL EIGHT will be available for digital download
on March 15, 2016 from Starz Digital before heading to retail on
Blu-ray™ Combo Pack ($39.99 SRP) and DVD ($29.98 SRP) from Anchor
Bay Entertainment and On Demand March 29, 2016.
Special features for
THE HATEFUL EIGHT include two featurettes – “Beyond the Eight: A
Behind-the-Scenes Look” and “Sam Jackson’s Guide to Glorious
70mm.” Ultra
Panavision 70 is the very rare and exceptional format that Quentin
Tarantino and his team used to shoot THE HATEFUL EIGHT, the widest
70mm theatrical release in twenty years. Panavision’s unique
anamorphic camera lenses capture images on film in an incredible
aspect ratio of 2.76:1. Almost all films seen today are shot in
ratios of either 1.85:1 or 2.39:1. Simply put, Ultra Panavision 70
provides an amazingly wide and more detailed image.
THE
HATEFUL EIGHT marks the triumphant return to the genre for legendary
composer Morricone (The Good, The Bad and the Ugly, A Fistful of
Dollars). Nominated for an Academy Award® for Best Original Score,
Morricone is back in the saddle after nearly four decades since last
scoring a full-length Western. Additional Academy Award® nominations
include 3-time Oscar® winner Robert Richardson for Best
Cinematography and Jennifer Jason Leigh for Best Actress in a
Supporting Role. THE HATEFUL EIGHT’s notorious all-star cast also
boasts Oscar® nominees Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction), Kurt
Russell (Silkwood), Emmy® nominee Walton Goggins (TV’s Justified),
Demian Bichir (A Better Life) and Tim Roth (Rob Roy).
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 (Kurt Russell) and his fugitive
Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), race towards the town of Red
Rock where Ruth, known in those parts as “The Hangman,” will
bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter two
strangers: Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), a black former
union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (Walton
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
(Demian Bichir), who’s taking care of Minnie’s while she’s
visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray (Tim Roth), the
hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage (Michael Madsen), and
Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Bruce Dern). As the storm
overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to
learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all.
