Early in the afternoon it is hoped Tarantino and Bell will privately officiate at a launch in one of Auckland's coolest bars, Golden Dawn in Ponsonby, which is being transformed into a Wyoming cabin in post-civil war America, where most of Tarantino's eighth and latest film is based.
The scene at the bar will be open to the public for eight days.
Hallertau Brewery and film distributors Roadshow Films have produced a limited edition beer - The Hateful Eight beer, sold only through the Golden Dawn Tavern.
Then, at 5.30pm, Auckland's finest will get their fandom on.
We are told the guest list includes several All Blacks, renowned New Zealand musicians and actors, fashion designers, New Zealand-based film directors, producers and artists.
Dominic Bowden, Sam Cane, Ben Barrington, David Dallas and Bic and Boh Runga are tipped to walk the carpet with Tarantino and Bell.
There will be a fan zone inside the cinema, which will allow some lucky fans to catch a glimpse of their Pulp Fiction hero.
