Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained

Quentin Tarantino is back!! And this time, he's doing a western!! As we all know, QT loves a bit of the old west, he speaks highly of Sergio Leone's works, and he's used alot of Ennio Morricone's music from old Spaghetti Westerns in his films. But, QT has settled upon this as his follow up to his WW2 fantasy Inglourious Basterds, it's one he's been working on for a while, but it looks as if he might be ready to get it made!! Django Unchained, see's QT in the old west, but it sounds like a good one too.

According to this, it's about a freed black slave called Django who teams up a German bounty hunter (to be played by Christoph Waltz, the best thing about Inglourious Basterds), and they team up taking on baddies, and even track down Django's slave wife who has been taken by an evil plantation owner!!



So, who's up for this?? I know QT can be a little marmite to some, and he does nick stuff from other films, but he educates viewers on rare films that you might not get the chance to see. The only thing that might put people off is that it's another revenge flick, like what Kill Bill and Inglourious Basterds was. But, advance word on the script is excellent, with QT's dialogue apparantly up to scratch, but it's said to be very racist too. But, that's what it was like back then, and I'm sure QT will deliver an entertaining film. It's a wonder he didn't go with a title with Once Upon A Time in it...

Could Will Smith be Django??

Good choice.

Could Leonardo DiCaprio play the baddie Calvin Candie in Django Unchained!!?

Good choice, plus DiCaprio works with the best directors.

Looks like Leonardo DiCaprio is officially in talks for it, and Columbia Pictures are releasing it internationally too.

Django Unchained to open on Christmas Day 2012!!

Just in time for the Oscars then!!

It looks like Jamie Foxx might be Django!!

Confirmed!!

Could Kevin Costner be in Django Unchained as Ace Woody!?

Christoph Waltz injured on set falling off horse...

Get well soon.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt, the best thing about Inception, is in talks for Django Unchained!!

James Remar off Dexter and Tom Wopat off The Dukes of Hazzard cast in Django Unchained!!

Could QT work his comeback magic on Tom Wopat??

I want Leo's waistcost!!

Indeed, a sharp dresser But what's he planning on doing with that hammer?

Knowing QT, it won't be for putting a picture up!!

Here's Leo and QT together at a recent press thingie for the film.

Kurt Russell and Sacha Baron Cohen drop out of the film...

DAMN!! They would have made it worth watching.

Walton Goggins was already cast in the film, but QT has reworked the script so he's "absorbed" the role Kurt Russell was going to play.

Harvey Weinstein says there may be some "surprise actors" in it.

A teaser was shown at Cannes, and they seemed to love it. Saying it's 'funny'.

Oh, and the first trailer will be shown before Prometheus.

My new Empire came the other day, and there's loads of new images from Django Unchained!!













The man sitting next to Jamie Foxx in the image there is Franco Nero, who was the title role in Sergio Corbucci's Django (1966). See the connection QT did there??

TRAILER!!



I like the look of that!!

Nice to see Leo looking like he's having fun and not playing another miserable, haunted fella

I agree, I haven't seen him have this much fun since Catch Me If You Can.

Here's the international trailer with new footage!!

It opens across America tomorrow, and here's the final trailer!!
