The Weinstein Company officially announced today that Quentin Tarantino's latest film, The Hateful Eight, will be screened in 70mm. The film will open in select theaters across the United States on Christmas Day. It will open nationwide on January 8, 2016.
The Weinstein Company did not specify how many theaters will screen the film in 70mm, but confirmed that this will be the biggest event the industry has seen in over 20 years.
"Beloved by filmmakers and cinephiles for its wide-scope and high-resolution image quality, 70mm stock captures nearly twice the landscape of the more common 35mm and digital styles," the announcement said. "Because of its unique quality and its importance to the art of filmmaking, Quentin, TWC and a number of other major Hollywood directors and studios have negotiated deals with Kodak to continue production of 70mm and other film formats despite their higher costs and complexity of use."
The Hateful Eight stars Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson, Bruce Dern, Amber Tamblyn, and Michael Madsen.
