The proposal took the director by surprise. At the time, he described his experience as follows:
“I thought: ‘wow this is really intriguing‘. I mean that the film exists as a film. But if I were to use all of the footage we shot and see if I could put it together as a sequence, I’d be willing to give it a try.”

In the same interview, Quentin Tarantino explained that the experience gained from editing a work on Hateful Eight, varies from what the viewer was able to enjoy in the cinema. Recalling and describing part of the work, the director said:
“About a year after its release, maybe a little less, my publisher Fred Raskin and I got together, and then we worked very hard. We divided the film into 50 minute chunks and easily got four episodes.. We don’t re-release everything from scratch, but we do re-release a lot and it works differently.”

“Some episodes are more like a movie than others, but it has a different feel.. It has a special feel that I really like. And (already) there was a literary aspect movie anyway, so it definitely has the quality of “chapter development”
