The Hateful Eight New Trailer: 5 Easter Eggs You Probably Missed

3. The Setting Is A Clear Homage To The Great Silence & McCabe And Mrs. Miller

One of the best - and most underrated - spaghetti westerns ever made is that of Sergio Corbucci's The Great Silence, which (uncharacteristically for a western) is set in a snow-covered Utah filled with bounty hunters and a host of notoriously shady characters. Though fans already suspected as much given the premise, looking at the new trailer, it's clear to see that Tarantino has take a lot of inspiration from Corbucci's western - the entire film seems to have been designed as a sort of homage to the white-washed cinematography (courtesy of Silvano Ippoliti) glimpsed throughout that very bleak and icy film. The Hateful Eight also looks to have an aesthetic similar to that of Robert Altman's masterpiece McCabe And Mrs. Miller - not only in its snowy setting, but in its interiors. The inside of Minnie's haberdashery - where much of The Hateful Eight is set - looks very reminiscent of the inn where the opening scene of Altman's iconic film takes place.
