Rumor: 'The Hateful Eight' Is Back On, Quentin Tarantino To Rewrite Script

For a movie that, for now, isn't getting made, "The Hateful Eight" sure has a lot written about it. But then again, few unmade projects can boast the name of Quentin Tarantino alongside the kind of fiery cancellation this one did, with the writer/director yanking the cord after the script leaked. But has he had a change of heart?
According to Jeff Sneider at The Wrap, his ear to the ground has heard that Quentin Tarantino will make the movie anyway and has even reached out to Samuel L. Jackson, presumably for a role. Here's what Sneider revealed on Twitter today (noting that he was unable to officially report it):
So, what does this mean? Well, it's a rumor. So as always, take it with a grain of salt. That said, we called the script "one of Tarantino’s most entertaining reads in a long time," and perhaps as the initial anger has subsided, he's realized the same and isn't ready to put this on the shelf. Moreover, the script that leaked was a first draft, and undoubtedly was going to have to go through rewrites anyway, particularly as the ending in its current form is "somewhat anti-climactic." As for Samuel L. Jackson's being mentioned? There is a part for an African American bounty hunter that seems tailor made for him—so again, it would make sense.
Anyway, we'll see if this rumor amounts to anything, but until then, be sure to check out all you need to know by reading: Black Night, White Hell: A Look At Quentin Tarantino’s 'The Hateful Eight' Western

Tarantino should stop talking about films he wants to make/be involved in. It gets annoying because there's more talk than actual product.
He was in so many good things. He's just one of those actors that kinda gets those cog roles but he does it so well. He always fits in. You never question his ability to pull off the character he's playing whether it's serious or comedy. Just a range of emotions from his voice and body language where you pretty much see it came natural to him even though he was a bit type cast in minor roles.
