The new movie of Quentin Tarantino entitled "The Hateful Eight" just released photos, revealing a first look at some of the actors, and by the looks of it, tough times are abound.

Entertainment Weekly recent released a cover featuring three of the film's actors, namely, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Samuel L. Jackson, and Kurt Russell, looking like they have been pretty roughed up, with the character of Leigh having a black eye, NY Daily News reported.

Additional photos featured by GeekTyrant showed an extremely snowy setting, with the character of Russell going head to head with Jackson as they both play the role of bounty hunters in this movie set a number of years after the Civil War.

Unlike his previous films like "Django Uchained" or "Inglorious Basterds," Tarantino is said to go on a subtler homage to exploitation movies of the past, albeit violent, reported Entertainment Weekly.

Completing "The Hateful Eight" are Goggins, Madsen, Bichir, Roth, and Dern, all contributing a role in the soon-to-be-released movie. Most actors had previously worked with Tarantino except for Bichir and Leigh, both experiencing the gore director for the first time.

Details about the film had leaked earlier this year, making Tarantino feel depressed and losing interest in producing the flick. After a positive reaction in a live script reading in the San Diego Comic-Con held last year, he changed his mind and gave the project a green light. The director somehow likened the movie to one of his best films, "Reservoir Dogs," saying his overall writing style is experiencing a full circle of sorts.

"The Hateful Eight" follows the story of stagecoach passengers experiencing harsh winter and what the group tries to do when they get stuck during a snowstorm.

The Tarantino-helmed movie is slated to be released to theaters later this year, and fans could not be more excited.
