Last week, The Weinstein Company unveiled the first trailer for Quentin Tarantino's highly anticipated film 'The Hateful Eight'. The academy award winner sat down, over the weekend for a lengthy discussion with New York Magazine and talked more about the upcoming film as well a slew of other topics.
When asked if he was happy with the finished product, Tarantino replied:
"I'm not committing suicide yet. It is what it is. We're rushing and trying to get to the end. Then you go through it and try to make it even better. But first, you just get to the end."
The director also spoke about his recent fascination with the Spaghetti Western. Hateful Eight will be the second western film he's done. His previous film, Django Unchained, though set in the American south, was obviously a huge nod to films of that genre.
'One thing that's always been true is that there's no real film genre that better reflects the values and the problems of a given decade than the Westerns made during that specific decade. The Westerns of the '50s reflected Eisenhower America better than any other films of the day. The Westerns of the '30s reflected the '30s ideal.'
Tarantino also took a detour to talk about TV. He mentioned that he loved Justified and How I Met Your Mother but was not a fan of the first season of True Detective.
"I tried to watch the first episode of season one [of 'True Detective'], and I didn't get into it at all. I thought it was really boring. And season two looks awful. Just the trailer - all these handsome actors trying to not be handsome and walking around looking like the weight of the world is on their shoulders."
He also mentioned Kill Bill, his two part revenge story that starred Uma Thurman. He said a possible return to the franchise is 'not off the table.'
