Quentin Tarantino is modifying script for 'The Hateful Eight' after leak

It looks like Quentin Tarantino's next film will be The Hateful Eight after all. Last night the writer-director staged a star-studded reading of the leaked script in Los Angeles, and he told the sold out crowd of 1,200: "I’m working on a second draft and I will do a third draft."

"I’M WORKING ON A SECOND DRAFT AND I WILL DO A THIRD DRAFT."

As is his hallmark, the story is split into several chapters, and Tarantino provided at least one clue as to how the script will change from its current form. According to Deadline, he said, "The Chapter 5 here will not be the Chapter 5 later, so this will be the only time it is seen ever." The shocking conclusion to the original script has been spoiled for many since the script leaked out earlier this year. That leak led a distraught and highly disappointed Tarantino to cancel his plans to make the film, though he said at the time that "if the muse calls me later to do it, we’ll do it." Fortunately for fans looking forward to a true western from Tarantino, it appears he's decided not to throw the baby out with the bathwater — though his lawsuit with Gawker over the script is still plugging along.
