Last week Tarantino was up in arms over someone within a circle of six people leaking the script for his upcoming western ‘Hateful Eight’ – Was it the agent for Bruce Dern, was it Michael Madsen? The only thing Tarantino knew was that it was not Tim Roth. Tarantino said he was shelving the project and potentially releasing the the script as a book. The Gawker owned blog Defamer then subsequently posted links to where the average fan can view the script. This did not sit well with QT, he was screwed over twice. So now he is bringing the heat and filing a lawsuit against Defamers parent company Gawker. Gawker will exploit just about anything so there can be zero surprise there. What is surprising is that the post on Defamer is still up. This could get interesting.
