Quentin Tarantino’s THE HATEFUL EIGHT DVD streets on March 29th<\/strong>Posted by Wilson Morales<\/p>\n

\"TheAnchor 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<\/strong> (Django Unchained, Pulp Fiction).<\/p>\n

An explosive frontier mystery about eight strangers with one deadly connection, THE HATEFUL EIGHT<\/strong>, which was shot entirely on 70mm and featuring a Golden Globe and BAFTA award-winning score by Oscar winner Ennio Morricone (Bugsy, The Mission), \u00a0will be available for digital download on March15, 2016 from Starz Digital before heading to retail on Blu-ray\u2122 Combo Pack and DVD from Anchor Bay Entertainment and On Demand March 29, 2016<\/strong>. Special features for THE HATEFUL EIGHT include two featurettes – \u201cBeyond the Eight: A Behind-the-Scenes Look\u201d and \u201cSam Jackson\u2019s Guide to Glorious 70mm.\u201d<\/p>\n

“If you\u2019re going to shoot your movie and release it in 70mm, it\u2019s really the way to go: twenty-four frames a second flickering through a projector, creating the illusion of movement.\u201d<\/strong> – Quentin Tarantino<\/p>\n

\"THE<\/p>\n

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\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n

\"T\"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\u00ae for Best Original Score, Morricone is back in the saddle after nearly four decades since last scoring a full-length Western. Additional Academy Award\u00ae nominations include 3-time Oscar\u00ae winner Robert Richardson for Best Cinematography and Jennifer Jason Leigh for Best Actress in a Supporting Role. THE HATEFUL EIGHT\u2019s notorious all-star cast also boasts Oscar\u00ae nominees Samuel L. Jackson (Pulp Fiction), Kurt Russell (Silkwood), Emmy\u00ae nominee Walton Goggins (TV\u2019s Justified), Demian Bichir (A Better Life) and Tim Roth (Rob Roy).<\/p>\n

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 \u201cThe Hangman,\u201d 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\u2019s new Sheriff. Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie\u2019s Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass. When they arrive at Minnie\u2019s, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces. Bob (Demian Bichir), who\u2019s taking care of Minnie\u2019s while she\u2019s 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\u2026<\/p>\n
