Quentin Tarantino ‘The Hateful Eight’ screenplay leak Quentin Tarantino will no longer be making the Western The Hateful Eight. Why not? Well, Tarantino claims he sent out the film’s screenplay to a group of six people, one of whom allegedly showed it to his agent, who then showed it to other agents, who then began calling Tarantino’s agent Mike Simpson, asking him to cast their clients in the film. (Photo: The Hateful Eight screenwriter Quentin Tarantino.) “I’m very, very depressed,” Tarantino was quoted as saying at Deadline.com, which first broke The Hateful Eight Screenplay Leak story on Tuesday, January 21, 2014. “I finished a script, a first draft, and I didn’t mean to shoot it until next winter, a year from now. I gave it to six people, and apparently it’s gotten out today.” Now, before they begin flailing and wailing, Quentin Tarantino fans should be...

Never one to shirk the limelight, Quentin Tarantino recently announced that his next movie was to be a Western titled The Hateful Eight. Well, it now appears that that particular project won’t be happening – at least not any time soon, at least – due to the writer/director having a bit of a wobble at the screenplay having leaked online. Tarantino spoke to Deadline about his frustrations.
Open about his anxiety over the leak, Tarantino confessed, “I’m very, very depressed. I finished a script, a first draft, and I didn’t mean to shoot it until next winter, a year from now. I gave it to six people, and apparently it’s gotten out today.” Most recently having directed Django Unchained, Tarantino revealed that his agent, Mike Simpson, broke the news to him after having received several calls from agents looking to suggest their clients for roles in the Western.

In a perfect example of why you shouldn't piss off Quentin Tarantino, The Hateful Eight, his recently announced follow up to Django Unchained, has been put on indefinite hold after the script, which was on its first draft, was leaked. The leak has understandably upset the director, who had pencilled shooting to begin in the winter, and he seems to be done with project for now, planning to publish the script and make it available in bookstores, and maybe revisit it in the next five years. He discovered the leak after his longtime agent Mike Simpson began getting calls from other agents pitching their clients for a role in the movie, even though he only gave the script to six people. The canceling of the project will no doubt be a bummer to fans (myself included) of the director who were looking forward to him tackling a Western again, especially when Christoph Waltz,...

"I'm very, very depressed," Tarantino explained. "I finished a script, a first draft, and I didn't mean to shoot it until next winter, a year from now. I gave it to six people, and apparently it's gotten out today."
The 50-year-old realised it had been leaked after his long-time agent Mike Simpson began receiving phone calls from agents trying to get their clients a role on the film.

I have to say, this smells of something else considering Quentin Tarantino's screenplay for Django Unchained was online almost immediately and eventually went on to win the writer/director his first screenplay Oscar since winning for Pulp Fiction script back in 1995. Yet, Tarantino tells Deadline.com that after his latest screenplay for the ensemble Western, The Hateful Eight, was leaked to agencies after giving it to a small circle of actors, he has decided the film won't be his next project. "I finished a script, a first draft, and I didn't mean to shoot it until next winter," he tells Deadline. "I gave it to six people, and apparently it's gotten out today." Tarantino reportedly found out when his agent, Mike Simpson, began receiving phone calls from agents pitching their clients for roles in the film. As for the leaker, Tarantino says, "I gave it to one of the producers on Django Unchained,...

Exclusive: Learning today that his script The Hateful Eight leaked after he gave it to a small circle of actors, Quentin Tarantino tells me that he’s so upset that he has decided that he will not direct that film next. So basically that means the conversation that will be circulating around town following this story with Tarantino goes from an ensemble Western to a whodunit. As in, which actor or their reps leaked the script that, as a result, is going on the shelf — literally a bookstore shelf, because Tarantino tells me he will publish it first and maybe revisit the prospect of a movie in the next five years. “I’m very, very depressed,” Tarantino said. “I finished a script, a first draft, and I didn’t mean to shoot it until next winter,...

Sixteen films are set to compete in the dramatic category at next year's Sundance Film Festival in January, with exactly half of those films directed by women - a new record for the festival which will be in its 29th year.
Approximately 113 feature-length films representing 32 countries were selected for Sundance for next year including 27 films in competition and 51 films from first-time directors. Many of the key categories were announced today.
While the Utah-based film festival only occasionally showcases films that have true mainstream crossover potential, this year sees more audience friendly fare in competition even it is still specifically targeting the art house crowd.
The fest in January this year was dominated by the rave reviews for its Grand Jury Prize winner "Beasts of the Southern Wild" which, upon moving to a more mainstream release, scored many accolades but just $13 million in worldwide box-office.
