The film’s writer-director Quentin Tarantino and some yet-to-be determined cast members are expected to make an appearance.
The panel will take place in a Hall H panel on Saturday, July 11, at 1:30 p.m. and will include a discussion with Tarantino and the cast about the production, its upcoming roadshow release, the glorious 70mm format in which it will be released and an exclusive premiere of footage from the film.
The panel will be moderated by Chris Hardwick of Nerdist.
