We have an update on Quentin Tarantino’s The Hateful Eight for you this morning, and while the film has been delayed from its original schedule, it’s happily not too drastic a setback.

Kurt Russell has been discussing his potential involvement with the film and has let slip that the project has now moved back from its proposed start date of this November.

“I’ve got a Tarantino project called The Hateful Eight that looks like it may go somewhere around the beginning of the year,” revealed Russell during a recent interview.

A setback then, but confirmation at least that the wheels are officially turning on Tarantino’s post-Civil War saga, albeit slowly.

No further info has been released as yet, although should Sam Jackson, Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern or any of the rest of the cast who assisted with the recent table-read sign up for the full film, we should be in for a treat…
