Following a report earlier this year that suggested a late 2014 shoot for the project, The Denver Post has revealed that Quentin Tarantino will be bringing his latest production, The Hateful Eight, to Colorado this December.

Set in snowy Wyoming a few years after the Civil War, the film focuses on the tension among a group of people trapped after a blizzard diverts a stagecoach from its route. The group includes a competing pair of bounty hunters, a renegade Confederate soldier and a female prisoner in a saloon.

"The whole movie's going to be shot here, exteriors and interiors," says Colorado film commissioner Donald Zuckerman. "They're going to build it on a ranch."

According to the outlet, Colorado has granted a $5 million incentive package to the production, which helped beat out the competition from Utah and Wyoming. With the film set at a $44 million budget, The Hateful Eight marks the biggest production to film in the state since Henry Hathaway's original True Grit in 1969.

Local preproduction on The Hateful Eight is set to begin immediately with plans to begin shooting December 8 before taking a holiday break and resuming production in 2015.

Jennifer Jason Leigh has landed the female lead of Daisy Domergue in Quentin Tarantino‘s western “The Hateful Eight,” multiple individuals familiar with the project have told TheWrap.

Past Tarantino collaborators Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Tim Roth and Michael Madsen are expected to star alongside Walton Goggins, Bruce Dern and Denis Minochet.

“Hateful Eight” is set in Wyoming following the Civil War. Story follows two bounty hunters, a tough female prisoner and a local sheriff as they wait for a storm to pass with four men who may or may not be attempting to free the prisoner.

Leigh will play Daisy Domergue, who is wanted for murder and due to hang for her crimes.

James Remar, James Parks, Dana Gourrier and Tarantino's “Death Proof” star Zoe Bell are expected to fill out the rest of the ensemble.

Leigh is a Golden Globe-nominated actress who next stars in “Amityville: The Awakening.” She recently appeared opposite Kristen Wiig in Shira Piven's dark comedy “Welcome to Me” and played Miles Teller's mother in “The Spectacular Now.”
