Currently set for release on Christmas of 2012, this is looking like it's going to be pretty fucking amazing. My favorite description of the film was this:

Quote :

"Jamie Foxx will take over the lead role of the badass freed slave who—with the help of an equally badass German bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz)—will take down an evil plantation owner and face off against his house slave (Samuel L. Jackson) in a flurry of stylized violence and showers of N-bombs."

The cast also includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Kurt Russell, Don Johnson, Gerald McRaney and Joseph Gordon Levitt.

Will see this.

10/21/2011 3:49:29 PM

holy. shit.

10/21/2011 3:50:58 PM

holy awesome

10/21/2011 3:53:40 PM

Still pissed at Will Smith for turning this down

Foxx will be good, but Fresh Prince turned Freed Slave could've been great.

10/21/2011 3:58:55 PM

i remember reading about this and being all "holy shit"

this has not changed

Agreed, I think Idris Elba would have been great too but he obviously doesn't have the box office draw that Foxx does. Idris Elba was born to play a badass freed slave.

10/21/2011 4:11:47 PM

This will suck.

He hasnt had a good movie since Pulp Fiction

10/21/2011 4:12:49 PM

Tarantino's stuff is always "Cool". conceptually, this is too, and i'm sure the execution will be as well.

i'd really like to see a movie about John Brown.

10/21/2011 4:13:50 PM

you probably have the worst tastes of anyone on this board

so with that said, it's going to rule

10/21/2011 4:15:03 PM

successful troll is successful

10/21/2011 4:17:35 PM

I thought this movie was going to be about Django Reinhardt.

Still, it sounds like it'll be really cool...and much more interesting than a movie about Django Reinhardt

10/21/2011 5:03:22 PM

Sweet & Lowdown was tangentially about Django Reinhardt. I doubt this movie will be better than that one.

He would be a much better option than Jamie Foxx

10/21/2011 5:49:53 PM

I remember reading that Michael K Williams (Omar from the Wire) was also under consideration. I would have preferred him or Idris Elba over Jamie Fox or Will Smith.

10/21/2011 9:22:12 PM

Sick poster.

Not surprised Will Smith turned this down. He doesn't take roles that could remotely be construed as controversial.

10/21/2011 9:25:53 PM

Count me among those who would've rather seen Stringer Bell as the freed slave than Jamie Foxx. That said, Foxx was pretty fucking hilarious as Motherfucker Jones, so he might be great in this role. The plot sounds appropriately surreal and Tarantino-esque.

Idris Elba would be better as the house slave

10/22/2011 9:56:49 PM

Djimon Hounsou would have made a kick ass Django IMO.

Not to mention his name also starts with Dj

10/23/2011 12:45:58 AM

Sounds like Catcher Freeman. I will see this.

10/23/2011 7:09:59 PM

Quentin Tarantino sitting at his desk a year ago...

"I love saying 'nigger'. How can I write a movie to do that as much as possible?"

That being said, this sounds amazing.

10/23/2011 10:32:09 PM

Christoph Waltz is also playing the movie "Carnage"

I don't recall hearing it once in Inglorious Basterds. Maybe this movie is going to be like drinking a whole case of beer as a reward for not drinking all week.

10/24/2011 10:26:50 PM

A plantation of this sort would clealy be in need of some serious dead nigger storage

10/24/2011 10:41:11 PM

Jamie Foxx was Ray.

WTF has Idris Elba ever done in movies?

10/25/2011 12:09:04 AM

Uh, Heimdall, hello?


In all seriousness TV these days is nothing to scoff at.

10/25/2011 3:41:21 AM

so is QT going to work in a german character into all of his movies from now on? seems like this one is a bit of a reach.

can't say that i blame him though. waltz is the shit.

LOL that was my first thought as well.

I shall be seeing this.

10/25/2011 6:58:35 PM

what's the over/under on how many times they say "nigger" in this movie?

10/26/2011 2:58:16 PM

The F-Word was used 265 times at a rate of 1.72 per minute in Pulp ficton. I'd say around 250 and at least once per 1.5 minutes.

10/26/2011 3:16:27 PM

Jamie Foxx's wife in Ray will be returning as his wife in Django Unchained.

10/26/2011 4:37:23 PM

Must have been too edgy a role for Taraji P Henson.

10/26/2011 5:11:29 PM

Sacha Baron Cohen was added to the cast as a gambler who purchases Django's wife.

11/14/2011 2:54:44 PM

new poster

4/13/2012 2:14:07 AM

Chiwetel Ejiofor would make a good house slave... maybe a tad too serious for a tarantino movie, but a good bad guy

4/13/2012 2:58:29 AM

Debuted at Cannes...

Quote :

"Django Unchained is about something on which Hollywood is traditionally very reticent: slavery. To the music of Johnny Cash and James Brown, a weird drama of violent revenge in the Old South unfolds. Christoph Waltz is a bizarre travelling dentist, whose profession is, in fact, a cover for his activities as bounty hunter, gunfighter and assassin. With maximum and freaky violence, he frees a slave called Django, played by Jamie Foxx, and they track down some brothers with whom he has business. Django wears an electric blue suit and a stylishly raked hat, and they encounter a very haughty slave owner, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. We don't get to see what Samuel L Jackson actually does in the movie, other than checking him in the credits. The footage looks good – of course it would – but it's impossible to tell what the movie is going to be like. It could be brilliant, like Kill Bill, or underwhelming like Inglourious Basterds. Well, the chains come off at Christmas and we'll see then."

Over/under on how much screen time QT will devote to shots of Kerry Washington's feet?

i was thinking the same thing

5/22/2012 10:42:42 AM

I think they're both pretty brilliant.

5/22/2012 12:32:31 PM

Agreed. I fail to see what was underwhelming about Inglourious Basterds.

5/22/2012 4:32:45 PM

they need that kid that played johnny mad dog

5/22/2012 5:00:40 PM

holy crap, quentin tarantino is overrated

5/22/2012 6:35:50 PM

I like jamie foxx. I never watched his show so I can take him seriously (Jarhead etc). Will Smith I cannot.

5/22/2012 7:53:04 PM

Sukiyaki Western Django (yes, tarantino)

LOTS of engrish, but some of you may like the violence. slow beginning. awesome final fight.
