HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 12 (UPI) -- The first teaser trailer for Quentin Tarantino's upcoming western The Hateful Eight was released online Wednesday. The teaser for Tarantino's 8th film features a frigid, storm-ridden, post-Civil War setting warmed up by the burly personalities of John Ruth (Kurt Russell), Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson) and Chris Mannix (Walton Goggins).

Russell's character -- a renowned bounty hunter alongside his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh) -- opens the trailer in a bustling stagecoach then stopped by Jackson.
Once his stagecoach is perched at a dreary way station, Russell makes his intention to hang his prisoner the next day publicly clear to its dwellers.
Tim Roth, Michael Madsen, Walton Goggins, Bruce Dern and newcomer Damian Bichir also star in this bloody "Western Iceman Cometh," as Tarantino explained in May.
The Hateful Eight is scheduled for a Christmas Day release in 70 mm theaters only before making its full national release Jan. 8, 2016.
