Though plans to shoot The Hateful Eight were still a year or so away, director Quentin Tarantino has since given up on the project, following claims that one of the six people he had entrusted with the first draft of the screenplay, betrayed his trust and allowed for it to leak to Hollywood agents. Speaking to Deadline, Tarantino claimed the entire debacle has left him feeling depressed, and without the desire to go through with the production. As question marks remain over who it was who leaked the script, Tarantino confirmed that the one person he knows is innocent, is Tim Roth.
