The first trailer for Quentin Tarantino‘s latest movie, The Hateful Eight has now officially arrived online after a bootlegged version hit the web after it premiered only in theaters in front of Sin City: A Dame to Kill For last year. Of course, that bootleg version didn’t stick around online for too long, but now it has finally arrived in something of an official capacity.
It’s an entirely text-based trailer with a bit of graphic design behind it, but if you’re excited about the new film this should add to that excitement.
The film doesn’t hit theaters until Christmas Day, so it may be a while before we get an actual trailer with footage, but you can give this little tease a watch below.

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…
