Will Quentin Tarantino Direct The Hateful Eight After All? Film Independent Plans Staged Reading News by Ryan Lattanzio April 3, 2014 1:30 PM Quentin Tarantino in Django Unchained On April 24, Film Independent will host a staged reading of Quentin Tarantinos unmade, much-tussled-over script The Hateful Eight at the Los Angeles Film Festival. So does this mean that Tarantino will direct the thwarted screenplay after all? We knew The Hateful Eight was going to be a Western. Back in November 2013, Tarantino told Jay Leno on The Tonight Show that the film, like his last movie Django Unchained, is a western, but not a sequel. The Hateful Eight script follows a stagecoach after its course is diverted by a blizzard, trapping a motley group of bounty hunters, a Confederate soldier and a female prisoner in a remote saloon. Tarantino backed out on production in January after the script was leaked online, ultimately reaching a sizable audience via Gawker. In response, Tarantino slapped the digital media company with a lawsuit, effectively -- or so it seemed -- putting the kibosh on any future for The Hateful Eight. But clearly, given the upcoming LAFF reading, Tarantino still has this script on his mind. Could it be that this pebble in his shoe just has to get out? No word yet on whos participating in the reading. Back in January, casting rumors alleged that Tarantino may have penned parts for Bruce Dern and Christoph Waltz. The event will take place at the LACMA Bing Theater on Thursday, April 24 at 8:00 pm. It will not be recorded or livestreamed. That will be one hot ticket.
