Christoph Waltz is surprisingly absent in Quentin Tarantino's The Hateful Eight after his Oscar-winning roles in the filmmaker's two previous movies.
The Hateful Eight is about a varied group of characters who are forced to share a location during a blizzard, and Quentin Tarantino might have originally intended for one of those characters to be played by Christoph Waltz. The 2015 movie follows Major Marquis Warren , who takes shelter in a haberdashery until a deadly storm passes. The place is filled with bounty hunters, gang members, and other sketchy characters who may or may not be lying about who they are.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY The colorful characters of The Hateful Eight are played by frequent Tarantino collaborators. The cast includes Michael Madsen, who starred in Reservoir Dogs and Kill Bill, Tim Roth of Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction, and Jackson, who has been featured in many Tarantino movies. But there's one glaring omission: Christoph Waltz, who was discovered by Tarantino and won two Academy Awards under the filmmaker's direction, is completely absent.
Waltz expressed how roles have to mean something, adding, "Just to be in the group for group dynamic's sake is, to me, I find it extremely frustrating." Though he was referring to director Tim Burton's heavy use of the same Rolodex of actors, that statement can also be applied to how Tarantino works, especially with The Hateful Eight. It's easy to see why returning for a third Tarantino movie in that way in such quick succession might not have interested him.
Waltz Could Have Played Oswaldo Tim Roth seemingly imitates Christoph Waltz in his performance as Oswaldo Mobray in The Hateful Eight, and this has led to speculation that the character might have been written for the latter. Roth portrays Oswaldo with the sort of goofy sensibilities that were previously displayed by Waltz as Hans Landa in Inglourious Basterds and as Schultz in Django Unchained.
