Channing Tatum joins the cast of Tarantino s Hateful Eight

The AV Club has the official cast listing of Quentin Tarantino's upcoming western The Hateful Eight and Channing Tatum has squeezed his way onto it, alongside the usual QT suspects.

Tatum next to be seen in Foxcatcher won't be one of the Hateful Eight', however. The nature of his role remains undisclosed.

The actual Hateful Eight' will be played by the following: Demian Bichir, Bruce Dern, Walton Goggins, Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Michael Madsen, Tim Roth and Kurt Russell.

Here's the official plot synopsis, courtesy of The Weinstein Company:

In THE HATEFUL EIGHT, set six or eight or twelve years after the Civil War, a stagecoach hurtles through the wintry Wyoming landscape. The passengers, bounty hunter John Ruth (Russell) and his fugitive Daisy Domergue (Leigh), race towards the town of Red Rock where Ruth, known in these parts as The Hangman, will bring Domergue to justice.

Along the road, they encounter two strangers: Major Marquis Warren (Jackson), a black former union soldier turned infamous bounty hunter, and Chris Mannix (Goggins), a southern renegade who claims to be the town's new Sheriff. Losing their lead on the blizzard, Ruth, Domergue, Warren and Mannix seek refuge at Minnie's Haberdashery, a stagecoach stopover on a mountain pass.

When they arrive at Minnie's, they are greeted not by the proprietor but by four unfamiliar faces. Bob (Bichir), who's taking care of Minnie's while she's visiting her mother, is holed up with Oswaldo Mobray (Roth), the hangman of Red Rock, cow-puncher Joe Gage (Madsen), and Confederate General Sanford Smithers (Dern). As the storm overtakes the mountainside stopover, our eight travelers come to learn they may not make it to Red Rock after all

Cow-puncher? We're intrigued.

So there you have it! Production is set to begin in Colorado very, very soon, with a release date slated for 2015.

Not that we needed to say it but get excited.
