It looks like Quentin Tarantino is moving forward with his next film "The Hateful Eight" after all.

While performing a "one-night only" live reading of the script in Los Angeles, Tarantino said he was working on a second draft to the film, according to Variety.

The reading, which cost audience members $150-$200 to attend, included Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Amber Tamblyn, Tim Roth, and Bruce Dern.

Back in January, Tarantino scrapped <span style="line-height: 1.5em;">production on the film </span><span style="line-height: 1.5em;">after he found out the script he gave to six people leaked online.</span>

<span style="line-height: 1.5em;"><span>That resulted in a </span><span></span>lawsuit with Gawker<span> after the site published an article directing readers to a link to download a PDF of the script.</span></span>

<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">"The Hateful Eight" was set to be another Western, following the director's work on Oscar-nominated "Django Unchained."</span>

<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">Instead, Tarantino told Deadline he was going to publish the work as a book and then consider revisiting the idea on film in about five years. </span>

<span style="line-height: 1.5em;">According to Tarantino, the leaked version of the script, which resulted in the entire cast dying at the film's end, will serve as a first draft. The new version of the film, set in Wyoming a few years after the Civil War, will include a different ending that may be "removed or rewritten altogether."</span>
