Back in January, a depressed Quentin Tarantino announced that he’d decided to shelve his next project The Hateful Eight after the script for the Western leaked online. Well, it seems he may not have given up on the project after all, with the director revealing last night at a live script read in Los Angeles that he’s currently rewriting the screenplay.
“I’m working on a second draft and I will do a third draft but we’re reading from the first draft,” said Tarantino as he introduced the formally titled Film Independent Presents the World Premiere of a Staged Reading by Quentin Tarantino: The Hateful Eight. “The Chapter 5 here will not be the Chapter 5 later, so this will be the only time it is seen ever.”
The live-reading of the script for The Hateful Eight featured Samuel L. Jackson, Tim Roth, Kurt Russell, Michael Madsen, James Remar, Walton Goggins, Bruce Dern, Amber Tamblyn, and James Parks.
