A first description of what the plot will be like has now been released too. The film, set some years after the Civil War, will find all eight of these people converging in Wyoming and getting stuck at a stagecoach stop amid a heavy storm.

The film is Tarantino's eighth feature and the follow-up to “Django Unchained,” which grossed over $425 million worldwide. Click the Movie button below for more info:
