Quentin Tarantino Stages Reading of Hateful Eight, Which is Apparently Not Dead
By Shane Ryan
Remember that Quentin Tarantino script that was leaked, and then spread everywhere by Gawker, resulting in lawsuits and counter-suits and a general ethical and legal melee and Tarantino pulling the plug on the whole thing out of spite and/or rage?
Well, the plug is no longer totally pulled The director staged a reading last night at the Ace Hotel in Los Angeles that featured Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, Kurt Russell, James Parks, Amber Tamblyn, Michael Madsen, Denis Menochet, James Remar, Walton Goggins and Bruce Dern. The performance of the five-act western epic took 3.5 hours, and Tarantino told the crowd that re-writes are coming as the project moves forward…possibly all the way to the big screen.
