The Hateful Eight — New Spots: featuring Channing Tatum

added: Sat, Jan 9th '16

A couple of newly-released commercials for Quentin Tarantino's western drama "The Hateful Eight" are revealing one of the film's big surprise cameos: Channing Tatum.

The "Magic Mike" star plays a chip-toothed gunslinger named "Jody," who is seen having a tense exchange with Samuel L. Jackson's character Major Marquis Warren. Though many fans knew Tatum appeared in the film, his role was kept quiet until now.

The post-Civil War mystery thriller -- which also stars Kurt Russell as hardened bounty hunter John "The Hangman" Ruth and recent Golden Globe nominee Jennifer Jason Leigh as the elusive fugitive killer, Daisy Domergue, who is now captured and handcuffed to John's wrist -- is currently playing in theaters across the country, following a successful limited 70mm roadshow release during the Christmas break.

synopsis:
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…
