It’s not just the cast of Quentin Tarantino‘s ‘The Hateful Eight’ —Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Demian Bichir, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern,Channing Tatum and Zoe Bell— that’s a big deal. The movie finds the filmmaker going full throttle with 70mm, and the new poster for the movie puts it out there front and center.
Peek down at the right hand corner of this new one sheet, and you’ll see the Ultra Panavision 70 brand standing proud. The last movie to be shot and presented in the format was the 1966 Charlton Heston and Laurence Olivier joint “Khartoum,” so Tarantino is not messing around: for two weeks, the film will play roadshow style analog only before getting a digital wide release in 2016.
