Quentin Tarantino's next script got leaked, so now he refuses to make it · The A.V. Club
In a story of betrayal and revenge among a group of tough guys that would make for a pretty good Quentin Tarantino film—until someone leaks the script and Quentin Tarantino refuses to make it—someone has leaked the script for Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight, and now he’s refusing to make it. “I’m very, very depressed,” the director tells Deadline’s Mike Fleming Jr., explaining how he’d allowed “six motherfucking people” to lay eyes on the first draft of the Western he’d planned to shoot next winter, only to hear yesterday that his agent was besieged by calls from other agents, pitching their actors for specific roles. Well, those actors won’t get any roles now: Tarantino is instead planning to publish The Hateful Eight as a book, where he can be sure no one in Hollywood will read it.
