Jennifer Lawrence in "Hateful 8" movie, which is Quentin Tarantino's next big screen offering, is one of the most talked about topics online. The "Hunger Games" star is rumored to be in consideration for the film's cast, along with Viggo Mortensen of "The Lord of the Rings" fame.

According to The Independent, other rumored stars to join Viggo Mortensen and Jennifer Lawrence in the "Hateful 8" movie include Bruce Dern, Walton Goggins, Michael Madsen and Tim Roth.

NY Daily News Confidential has confirmed the participation of Samuel L. Jackson and Kurt Russel in the project. Both actors were reported to have been working with the director for quite some time now. As for Viggo Mortensen, one of the site's sources said that he/she saw the actor and director engaged in a serious discussion with scripts in hand at the Greenwich Hotel in Tribeca.

Quentin Tarantino's "Hateful 8" will be shot in Wyoming, said NY Daily News Confidential. The movie, which is set after the Civil War era, focuses on a group of bounty hunters caught in a snow storm.

According to The Independent, they were bringing a female prisoner with them when they got stranded. Unable to continue with their journey, they are forced to wait it out until the weather clears - and this is when everything started happening, one bad or surprising thing after another.

Screenrant reported that filming would commence on January 2015. From now onwards, Tarantino and the rest of his team will be hard at work finishing talks to complete his cast. Regarding the participation of Samuel L. Jackson and Kurt Russel, the site added that they will be taking on the same roles they had during the live-script reading conducted this year.

As for the rest of rumored stars to join the cast, specifically Viggo Mortensen (who prefers character-centered plots, said Screenrant) and Jennifer Lawrence in "Hateful 8" movie, their participation could not be confirmed as of yet.
