Entertainment Weekly has presented us with a glimpse of what Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film ‘The Hateful Eight’ will look like. The first pictures are out and, man, are they iconic already! With Tarantino in the director’s chair, one must expect nothing but another masterpiece. The plot of ‘The Hateful Eight’ – as much as is known – revolves around eight strangers trapped inside an isolated haberdashery to shelter themselves from a blizzard. Each of the characters has a story if their own, and each is being played by an actor extraordinaire.
