For a film that looked as though it might never happen, Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight is certainly showing healthy signs of life, including a poster in the latest **Empire. Now the director is taking the next step in the promotional department, attaching a mysterious teaser trailer to friend Robert Rodriguez’ latest,Sin City: A Dame To Kill For.
Exactly what this teaser will comprise is unclear, since Tarantino hasn’t actually started shooting the film yet. We know that the likes of Kurt Russell, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern, Walton Goggins and (naturally) Samuel L. Jackson are aboard, but cinema audiences will have to wait and see if any of them actually show up in the teaser. From the sounds of it, this might be a cinema-only event, with a Weinstein Company distribution information page stating that it won’t show up online. Of course, an outcry on that point might change matters...
Sin City: A Dame To Kill For is set to open both here and across the pond next week, and we're hoping that the Hateful trailer is attached for UK audiences. Given the poster’s presence, we’d guess yes. There is still no definite shoot date for the film, but a teaser would indicate that an early 2015 production schedule is likely.
