The Hateful Eight movie costumes on display...

To help raise the profile of Quentin Tarantino's eighth movie, The Hateful Eight, amongst L.A. cinema goers, the new bloody Western mystery had this special costume installation opposite the entrance to ArcLight Hollywood cinema in the New Year.

As always it was cool too see these original costumes (and props) from the film on display, by Costume Designer Courtney Hoffman, but unfortunately the reflection on the glass didn't make for the best photographic conditions on January 3, 2016.

Costumes worn by Samuel L. Jackson as Major Marquis Warren

and Walton Goggins as Chris Mannix in The Hateful Eight

One of Tarantino's frequent collaborators, Samuel. L Jackson, is back in the movie set in post-Civil War Wyoming as 'Major' Marquis Warren' aka 'The Bounty Hunter', whilst Walton Goggins plays the shady 'Sheriff Chris Mannix' aka 'The Sheriff'.

In the film another bounty hunter, 'John Ruth' (Kurt Russell), is transporting a murderess fugitive called 'Daisy Domergue' (Jennifer Jason Leigh) to the town of Red Rock. He likes to keep his bounties alive so when he delivers them he can watch them hang, which is why he's also known as 'The Hangman'.

Daisy aka 'The Prisoner' is chained to the bounty hunter and they soon find themselves holed up at a stagecoach lodge, Minnie's Haberdashery, when a powerful blizzard hits.

And finally Bruce Dern wears this costume as 'General Sandy Smithers' aka 'The Confederate', the legendary Southern general with a bloody past.

Like I mentioned, not the best images, but maybe I'll get a chance to see these cool costumes up close in the future again.
