Jennifer Lawrence was too busy for ‘The Hateful Eight’ role

After writing The Hateful Eight, Quentin Tarantino soon set about casting the film and he soon came to the conclusion that he could “see her doing a good job with” the role of Daisy Domergue, so he made a decision to orchestrate a meeting “to talk about it and everything”.

Conley, Green lead Grizzlies past Lakers, 112-96
Memphis outscored the Lakers in every quarter except the fourth, when the lead reached 25 before reserves closed out the game. DeRozan had a chance to be first player in team history to score 28 points or more in five consecutive games.

The Hateful Eight was a project that looked like it may not go ahead after the script was leaked… but Tarantino is back and is returning to the Western genre.

Tarantino’s eighth movie follows a bounty hunter (played by Russell) travelling with a prisoner (Leigh) to post-Civil War Wyoming.

Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren (Jackson), a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (Goggins), a southern renegade who claims to be the town’s new Sheriff. That pair and six other strangers seek refuge in a stopover on a mountain pass during a blizzard. Dismayed by the ubiquity of digital projection, Tarantino opted to shoot The Hateful Eight entirely in 65mm, for which a 70mm presentation would guarantee that the movie had to be projected on film. “I think I’ve been on record of saying that her and David O. Russell’s relationship is very William Wyler-Better Davis like, and that’s a good thing to be like”.
