Tarantino told the audience the film was shot in Ultra Panavision with the same 70MM cameras used on 1959’s BEN HUR. 7 minutes of special edited footage was shown that introduced the characters.

It was also announced that Ennio Morricone will be composing an original score for the film – his first Western score in 40 years. It was also revealed during the panel that when the movie is released it will be brought around like an old road show.

THE HATEFUL EIGHT

(L-R) QUENTIN TARANTINO directs KURT RUSSELL, JENNIFER JASON LEIGH, and TIM ROTH on the set of THE HATEFUL EIGHT

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 these 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…

THE HATEFUL EIGHT will be released on Christmas Day in 70MM, for two weeks, and will expand on January 8, 2015.

FIN03_AmerUltra_1Sht_Tsr_JEKS_25x38

Comic-Con International 2015 begins today and to kick things off, Lionsgate has released a new custom Comic-Con poster for their upcoming comedy, AMERICAN ULTRA.

Award-winning artist Jim Evans (aka T.A.Z.), the designer behind hundreds of gig & movie posters including those for The Beastie Boys, The Wu Tang Clan, Rage Against The Machine, Pearl Jam, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and the Saw franchise, crafted the badass print featuring Jesse Eisenberg & Kristen Stewart.

AMERICAN ULTRA is a fast-paced action comedy about Mike (Jesse Eisenberg), a seemingly hapless and unmotivated stoner whose small-town life with his live-in girlfriend, Phoebe (Kristen Stewart), is suddenly turned upside down.

Unbeknownst to him, Mike is actually a highly trained, lethal sleeper agent. In the blink of an eye, as his secret past comes back to haunt him, Mike is thrust into the middle of a deadly government operation and is forced to summon his inner action-hero in order to survive.

Written by Max Landis the film also features Connie Britton, Topher Grace, Tony Hale, John Leguizamo, Bill Pullman & Walton Goggins.

AMERICAN ULTRA opens on August 21.
