Definitely. I'm a bit concerned that it's not produced by Lawrence Bender though (although the only other QT film not to be was Grindhouse/Death Proof which I love) and this will be the first film he's directed that won't be edited by Sally Menke since she died in 2010 so it could potentially be quite a different film from his previous ones. Whether that'll be good or bad I don't know. The synopsis sounds great though.

Can't wait to see this either! Tarantino is the man (if you totally ignore Death Proof *coughcough*loadofcrap*coughcough* ). It's going to be good!

Pffft...Death Proof was fantastic!


Tom Savini's in Django Unchained by the way, just to add to its potential awesomeness. And...er...Sacha Baron Cohen (although I've never actually seen him in a straight role yet)

I can't stand the guy and refuse to watch anything with him in it, hence the reason I've never seen Inception, Shutter Island, The Departed or The Aviator, all good films I'm told but I just can't sit through anything starring him

I was sceptical at first about both Leo and Jamie Foxx but after reading the script i could totally picture both guys in those roles.

I wasn't keen on him before but then I watched his performance in What's Eating Gilbert Grape and he blew me away so I have a new found respect for him as an actor. Watching the films you've just listed I realised just how good he really is.

I never said he was a bad actor, far from it, I just can't do with the guy. And yeah your right, his performance in What's Eating Gilbert Grape is fantastic

As the film titanic is one of my pet hates, I harboured an intense loathing for di caprio... But after watching Aviator, shutter island and inception I find myself appreciating him more. (still hate titanic though) I'd have watched shutter island regardless because its a scorsese movie (and it massivly references the RKO Val lewton pics in a similar way cape fear referenced bava)

I like Leo's films after Titanic but as he's got older he's been picking decent roles. As for Django I want a full on Spag Western
