Quentin Tarantino’s new movie ‘The Hateful Eight’ is all set for an exclusive two-week road show in 70mm nationwide that begins on Christmas Day.

Starring Samuel L. Jackson, the movie will mark the widest 70mm release that the industry has seen in more than 20 years, reported Us magazine.

Sources say that the filmmaker threatened to scrap the project altogether after the script leaked out and he eventually sued Gawker for publishing it on its site.

The film will also star Kurt Russell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Goggins, Demian Bichir, Tim Roth, Michael Madsen and Bruce Dern.

The film is said to hit the theatres on 8th January, 2016.
