Get it now: The Hateful Eight BluRay / DVD

In a previous blogpost we outlined how we think The Hateful Eight should arrive on home video. Obviously, at least for the initial release, and considering the relatively poor showing of Tarantino’s movies on home video in general, that’s not what we’ll get for now. Still, The Hateful Eight is an amazing movie and belongs in everyone’s shelf. The upcoming releases boast a very small set of extras and the movie in best possible BluRay quality. Whether it will ever see a re-release along the lines of what we imagine, we will never now. Get your pre-orders in and plan the movie nights. Before some people ask and comment: none of these releases is the roadshow version, and won’t be. Plus, despite the movie’s global release is not being handled by one single major distribution company, the similarities between these discs might still be very high, but they are not identical, as they might be for example all over Europe had Warner Brothers secured the European rights, etc. It is safe to assume that they are all relatively light on extras.

    If only they put as much care into the BluRay as they did with the Third Man Records soundtrack:

    Not sure how you missed this but THERE IS a Hateful Eight ‘Limited Prestige edition’ being released in France. It also appears to be the Roadshow version with of great collectible materials. I pre-ordered it a little while ago. Be prepared to have your socks knocked off. I imagine you can’t read French so here’s the basics:
    1. Region-free discs
    2. Appears to be the “roadshow version”
    3. Special combo digipack (4 discs) of the Blu-ray/DVD
    4. a piece of the 70 mm frame in a collector’s plate thingy
    5. 176 page Screenplay (I would imagine it will be in French but maybe not, here’s hoping)
    6. double vinyl of the original score by Ennio Morricone
    7. Poster of the movie- une affiche du film dédicacée par Quentin Tarantino, Kurt Russell et Walton Goggins

    Here’s the link: http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B01CT959UK/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1642&creative=19458&creativeASIN=B01CT959UK&linkCode=as2&tag=thequentint00-21

    I have no idea why this isn’t being released in North America…but whatever.
