The Hateful Eight Filming Locations: Different Locations For Inner & Outer Scenes Of The Ranch

Kurt Russell’s character in The Hateful Eight is a bounty hunter. He is tasked with arresting and bringing Leigh’s evil Daisy to justice. He’s riding in a horse and carriage through the snowy mountains. After an interaction with Russell, Sam L Jackson’s character requests and receives a lift. Walton Goggins, posing as the Sheriff, joins them. They arrive at a tavern and are unable to continue due to a blizzard.

So now they’re trapped in a tavern with a man on a time-critical mission. Daisy’s gang, who knows Russell’s character is out there looking for her, is also involved. And, surprise, surprise, the tavern is full of characters with unknown motives. The popular haunt’s original owners are nowhere to be found.

That minor detail, I’m sure, will go unnoticed. So, maybe 30 minutes into the action, we have a shit storm in play. The outdoor shots only make up a small portion of the film. So, why write about these locations, you might ask? It was either that or the heavy fur coats featured in the movie. And I’m very passionate about animal protection and other things. So I didn’t want to draw attention away from the amazing brown piece worn by… Or the fantastic hairpieces wore by the cast, with the exception of Kurt Russell’s magnificent mustache. However, as a canonize challenged person, this would have been too painful.

The Hateful Eight Filming Locations – Where Was The Hateful Eight Filmed?

There aren’t that many The Hateful Eight Filming Locations to cover. It’s just the mountain and the ranch where it all goes downhill. And it does fall. In short, sharp bursts. The inner part of the ranch where our heavily fully dressed characters collide is a Los Angeles studio. Red Studios, to be precise. If you’re not in LA, it’s not worth visiting. It’s also a studio. Since it’s a studio, it didn’t preserve the tavern set.

The rest of the movie was shot in Colorado. On October 26, 2014, the state of Colorado agreed to contribute $5 million to the production of the film, with the majority of the film being shot in Southwest Colorado. The production rents a 900-acre ranch for filming purposes. On December 16, there was a meeting, and the county planning commission approved the development of a temporary set. On January 8, 2015, principal photography began on the Schmid Ranch just next to Telluride in Colorado.
