Filmmaker Quentin Tarantino has rounded out the cast of his forthcoming western The Hateful Eight with the addition of Channing Tatum and Demian Bichir.

The pair join Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Bruce Dern, Michael Madsen, Tim Roth and Jennifer Jason Leigh in the film, about a pair of bounty hunters tasked with transporting prisoners through post-Civil War Wyoming.

Production on The Hateful Eight is due to begin in Colorado in January.

Tarantino almost shelved The Hateful Eight after its script leaked online earlier this year.
