LOS ANGELES, June 15: Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film “The Hateful Eight” will see a limited release in 70 mm format this Christmas.
It will then expand in theatres nationwide on January 8, 2016.
“Our long relationship with Quentin Tarantino is one of the cornerstones of this company, so it’s incredibly special to us to be releasing his latest film in such a spectacular way on 70mm – we can’t think of a finer Christmas gift to be giving movie lovers and Tarantino fans this year,” The Weinstein Company President of Theatrical Distribution and Home Entertainment Erik Lomis says in a statement.
The movie will join a crowded holiday frame which includes the Christmas release for Sony’s “Concussion (2015)” starring Will Smith, Fox’s “Joy” starring Jennifer Lawrence, Warner Bros’ “Point Break” reboot and Open Road’s “Snowden”.
“The Hateful Eight” stars Samuel L Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Bruce Dern and Demian Bichir.
It marks Tarantino’s eighth feature film and the follow-up to “Django Unchained”, which was also released on Christmas Day in 2012. (PTI)
