Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh and Kurt Russell in ‘The Hateful Eight’ (Andrew Cooper for Entertainment Weekly)
After a very public drama that included a leaked screenplay, a lawsuit, and a public script reading, the film went into production last November. It was still shooting in April, when Entertainment Weekly visited the set and snapped the cover photo, which features Samuel L. Jackson (as Major Marquis Warren), Jennifer Jason Leigh (Daisy Domergue) and Kurt Russell (John Ruth) all warmly dressed — and packing heat.
