New ‘The Hateful Eight’ Poster Puts Kurt Russell and Jennifer Jason Leigh Front and Centre!

Briefly: We still have some time to wait until The Hateful Eight‘s December release date, but this new poster is pretty damned cool.

The stylized image features stars Kurt Russell and Jennifer Jason Leigh trekking through a mountainous environment, and it looks as though two of the eight symbols on the poster are greyed out, making me think that we’ll see similar posters for each of the other main characters.

Take a look at the poster (via EW) below, and let us know what you hope to see in the film!

In The Hateful Eight, set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth (Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Leigh), race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as “The Hangman,” will bring Domergue to justice. Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren (Jackson), a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (Goggins), a southern renegade who claims to be the town’s new Sheriff. Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie’s Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass. When they arrive at Minnie’s, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces. Bob (Bichir), who’s taking care of Minnie’s while she’s visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray (Roth), the hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage (Madsen), and Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Dern). As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all…
