Quentin Tarantino's Latest Movie 'The Hateful Eight' is Literally a Blast from the Past [Details]
Quentin Tarantino's latest offering, "The Hateful Eight," provided a touch of the classic era -- like a blast from the past. From the movie's setup to the premiere, the people behind the film made sure that they gave their viewers a different kind of experience over the Christmas weekend.
According to Chicago Tribune, the mystery flick was exclusively launched as a 70-millimeter film with a premium format like 1960s movies.
Workers of the Western film exerted all their efforts to launch it quintessentially, in a manner similar to how the old day movies were released. They provided special projectors, equipment and human operators that specialized in showing movies in the old fashioned way.
In fact, by doing this, they needed quite a long time, almost a year of work, to create the classic kind of motion picture premiere. The staff made sure all they presented -- from projectors to the smallest details -- were 100 percent perfect, ensuring that patrons will see "The Hateful Eight" in its original form.
Experts from Chicago's Music Box Theatre and other staff members visited other theaters to ensure the movie's premiere would be as perfectly released as possible. As most of the movie theaters today are in a digital format, projectionists were there to help set up the film, and to observe the projectors. They also kept on top of the maintenance of the equipment and fixed problems right away if ever one came their way.
Furthermore, CinemaBlend added that the masterpiece of the 52-year-old director was somehow interconnected, just like the superhero films of Marvel Studios. From Vic Vega of "Reservoir Dogs" to the Vic Vega of "Pulp Fiction" (and the obvious appearance of the Red Apple Cigarettes), Tarantino has his own way to show that all his films were created under one plot, in the same locations.
"The Hateful Eight," however, also has the same touch that interconnected it with Tarantino's 2009 film, "Inglorious Basterds." In the midst of all the connections, it was seen that Tim Roth's character, as Oswaldo Mobray, was actually the forefather of Archie Hicox, the British Army officer who joined the Basterds, as played by Michael Fassbender.
In the second half the 2015 film, it was unveiled that the role of the 54-year-old actor-director was not really named Oswaldo Mobray, but with Pete Hicox -- a known murderer, and part of the Domingray gang. "He is the great-great-great grandfather. I'm not sure if it's great or great-great or great-great-great, but it's always the same with [Quentin Tarantino], which I loved," Roth confirmed to CinemaBlend.
