Anchor Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Company have announced the Blu-ray release of writer/director Quentin Tarantino's eighth film, The Hateful Eight, which stars Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Tim Roth and Walton Goggins. The film arrives on Blu-ray on March 29th.

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 "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...

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's 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.

The Hateful Eight also 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 for Best Original Score, Morricone is back in the saddle after nearly four decades since last scoring a full-length Western. Additional Academy Award nominations include 3-time Oscar winner Robert Richardson for Best Cinematography and Jennifer Jason Leigh for Best Actress in a Supporting Role.

The Hateful Eight (2015)

Cei 8 odioși

La șase/opt ani de la Războiul Civil American, o trăsură gonește prin peisajul înghețat al Wyoming-ului. Pasagerii, vânătorul de recompense John Ruth (Russel) și captura sa, Daisy Domergue (Leigh), se îndreaptă spre Red Rock, unde Ruth, cunoscut drept "Călăul" prin părțile acestea, o va preda justiției pe Domergue.

Pe drum, întâlnesc doi necunoscuți maiorul Maquis Warren (Jackson), un fost membru al armatei de unioniști transformat într-un josnic vânător de recompense și Chris Mannix (Goggins), un renegat din sud care pretinde că este noul șerif al orașului. Pierduți în viscolul stârnit, Ruth, Domergue, Warren și Mannix caută adăpost la popasul pentru trăsuri din cea mai apropiată trecătoare, condus de Minnie Haberdashery.

Ajunși la popas, sunt întâmpinați nu de Minnie, ci de patru străini. Bob (Bichir), cel care are grijă de adăpostul lui Minnie, plecată să își viziteze mama, îi are alături pe Oswaldo Mobray (Roth), călăul din Red Rock, cowboy-ul Joe Gage (Madsen) și generalul Confederației Sanford Smithers (Dern). Pe măsură ce vijelia cuprinde și trecătoarea unde s-au adăpostit, cei opt călători încep să realizeze că este foarte posibil să nu mai ajungă deloc la Red Rock.
