Quentin Tarantino to Direct 'Django Unchained' |
Ooh great news! |
The director and title alone make me want to watch it. |
Ain't It Cool News had information on this the other day too, along with a picture of the title page of the finished script here. Can't wait! |
Sounds good. I like the idea of Christoph Waltz as the star. |
Here's a short intereview from the man himself about Django Unchained Quentin Tarantino Partied All Day After Writing Django Unchained -- Vulture |
Can't wait! |
I think it will be a best of other Spag westerns lol, |
I wonder if he was influenced by takeshi miikes Sukyaki western django? You know, the one he starred in..... If you havent seen it give it a try, just be careful which one you get, the uk release is cut. The total runtime uncut is a little over the two hour mark. |
Looks like casting is pretty locked up now as well. Django - Jamie Foxx Candie - Leonardo DiCaprio (the villian) Schultz - Christoph Waltz (Django's mate) Stephen - Samuel L Jakson (Candie's right hand man) |

Twitter, Variety, Empire, it all broke in the past week or so |
This really does not please me. I don't like the sound of this at all. I hope to be surprised. |

Despite having Django in the title, the film has nothing to do with the wild west. its about a slave who escapes a sadistic plantation and comes back to save his woman and seek revenge. its an 80's exploitation with a Django title |

DJANGO STRIKES AGAIN - the only official sequel - is not set in the west either, it's set in south america and is more like a Rambo knockoff. It's pretty good, too. |

Pish! KILL BILL is great! Mind you I've not seen either of them since they came out. |

I hated Kill Bill, I'm afraid. The worst kind of overblown, adolescent fanboy tosh. It perfectly encapsulates the aspects of Tarantino's work that I cannot stand. I have liked other things of his greatly. Fingers crossed for this one. |

Quentin Tarantino to Direct 'Django Unchained' No doubt Tarantino will get a lot of inspirational scenes filmed as in Kill Bill, Reservoir Dogs, et al I do like his films, not a fan of Jackie Brown Remains to be seen with Django |

Jamie Foxx has been in some mediocre films and seems to act the same way in most of them (Collateral; Jarhead; Miami Vice; The Kingdom), he has talent but perhaps he's just not stretched enough. Law Abiding Citizen was entertaining but I don't know who was more wooden, Foxx or Gerard Butler. Still, if anyone can get a good performance from him it's Tarantino. From the description, I would have liked to have seen Chiwetel Ejiofor in the role. |

LAW ABIDING CITIZEN was complete nonsense. It started off very gritty and quickly degenerated into big budget crowd-pleasing action tosh. I like grit and I like big budget tosh but you can't really mix them, IMO. |

Idris Elba was in the running originally (Stringer Bell from The Wire) |

There are very few contemporary filmmakers working in the mainstream whose films I anticipate as much as Tarantino's. Granted, they're not always masterpieces and can be sometimes over-indulgent (DEATH PROOF), but there's always a shot of brilliance in everything he makes. |
Yep, a double bill of 'Resevior Dogs' and 'Pulp Fiction' still holds very fond memories, and is about the best way to spend 4 hours with a tv.:) |
after reading the plot synopsis for this and hearing Jamie Foxx is now attached, im really really excited to see this, Christoph Waltz as a good guy former dentist turned Bounty Hunter and DiCaprio as an evil Plantation owner, inspired casting, everyone bad mouthed Brad Pitt as Aldo Raine from just the trailer and he turned out to be brilliant in Inglourious Basterds. I also like how he's not making a straight spaghetti western but only homaging some elements and how it's basically a revenge flick with cowboys, i can't wait to read the script when it eventually leaks online, i've done that with both Kill Bill and IB, although he ommited the sister of GoGo Yubari and the whole suburbia battle which was awesome, but i still love the films and think This could be and probably will be awesome.... |
ok i've just finished the Script and i have to say it's brilliant, it has absolutely nothing to do with Nero's Django, It does have some long scenes of dialogue but they don't last as long as ones in Inglourious Basterds. Im trying to do this without giving any spoilers, Christoph Waltz will be playing a good version of Hans Landa, Jamie Foxx is wrong for Django, Leonardo DiCaprio is wrong for Calvin Candie, Sam Jackson is spot on for Stephen, There are alot of gun fights, but not in a action movie sort of way, it has a gothic feel to certain parts and has a great reference to Sabata. If anyone one wants a copy of the Screenplay. PM with your email and i can send it to you. It really is very good. |

Okay, Firstly I just want to share my opinions with all the haters here ;D I ****ing love QT and everything he has done so far. I am very ****ing scared for Django Unchained though. I am sure he will put his own great little twist on it but I am finding it hard just thinking about having to sit through a film with Jamie Foxx and Leonardo DiCaprio. God, I hate them both and it's hard for me to watch a movie with either of them, I can't imagine the abomination of them together. (With that being said, Leo has had a few good films. Probably about three decent ones. I hated the rest) Now for some news for everyone if you haven't heard already...The official Synopsis has been released. It's only short so I will post it up in a new post.... |
Django Unchained - Official Syonopsis Set in the South two years before the Civil War, DJANGO UNCHAINED stars Academy Award®-winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award®-winner Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles – dead or alive. Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South’s most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Django and Schultz’s search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Academy Award®-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of “Candyland,” an infamous plantation where slaves are groomed by trainer Ace Woody (Kurt Russell) to battle each other for sport. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Academy Award®-nominee Samuel L. Jackson), Candie’s trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival... Written and directed by Academy Award®-winner Quentin Tarantino, DJANGO UNCHAINED is produced by Stacey Sher, Pilar Savone and Reginald Hudlin. The executive producers are Harvey and Bob Weinstein, Michael Shamberg, Shannon McIntosh, and James Skotchdopole. DJANGO UNCHAINED will be released in the U.S. on December 25, 2012, and internationally by Sony Pictures Releasing International. |
^ That actually sounds brilliant, What a cast too. Personally I think Leonardo Di Caprio is a brilliant actor so there's very little to put me off this film so far. |
