Writer-director Quentin Tarantino has announced that the film, along with the cast, will make an appearance in the convention's cavernous Hall H at 1:30 P.M. The panel will talk about the movie and will include the screening of the first footage of the film. The panel discussion will be moderated by Chris Hardwick.
Set for a release in the U.S. on December 25, "The Hateful Eight" follows the steadily ratcheting tension that develops after a blizzard diverts a stagecoach from its route, and traps a pitiless and mistrustful group which includes a competing pair of bounty hunters, a renegade Confederate soldier, and a female prisoner in a saloon in the middle of nowhere. The film stars Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Walton Goggins.
