Quentin Tarantino was left angry after he learnt that a draft script for a film he was writing was leaked, which forced him to dump it.

Tarantino told Deadline.com that his draft script for a new movie 'The Hateful Eight' had only been shared with only six people.

The 50-year-old director said that he would now publish it, but would not make a movie about it, News.com.au reported.

He said that he came to know about the leak when his agent started getting calls from other agents, who were keen to suggest their actors for the film roles.

Tarantino said that he showed the script to a producer on 'Django Unchained,' Reggie Hudlin, and he let an agent come to his house and read it.

 

He also gave it to actors Michael Madsen, Bruce Dern and Tim Roth.

Tarantino said that he suspected that the person who was behind the leak could have been one of their agents, but he was not sure who could have done it.
