Cannes: Harvey Weinstein Unveils First Footage From Quentin Tarantino's 'The Hateful Eight'

It's now six years since Quentin Tarantino had a film in competition at Cannes — "Inglourious Basterds" was here back in 2009, and it marked the filmmaker's first time with a movie at the festival since "Pulp Fiction" back in 1994. But he's often had some kind of presence at the festival: only last year he was around for an anniversary screening of "Pulp Fiction," three years ago, Harvey Weinstein debuted the first footage from "Django Unchained," and before that the filmmaker was in Competition with "Death Proof." Tarantino has wrapped on his latest, "The Hateful Eight," but the Western's likely Oscar-season release date means that Cannes was never likely to be where it bowed. But unsurprisingly, Harvey Weinstein used his annual presentation event on the Croisette to debut the first footage of one of the more anticipated movies of 2015.
