Jamie Foxx to star in Tarantinos next "Django Unchained"
Wow, at first glance sounds like oil and water....but im down with this in a weird way. QT hasnt let me down yet.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hea...trunner-186250 Will Smith has emerged as the frontrunner to star in Quentin Tarantino’s next film, Django Unchained, a spaghetti Western about a slave in the Old South who teams with a German bounty hunter to search for his wife. Tarantino stalwarts Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz also are circling key parts. The film, Tarantino’s follow-up to his worldwide blockbuster Inglourious Basterds, will be distributed domestically by the Weinstein Co., but Tarantino is in the process of selecting a studio partner to release the film internationally. Sources say he was meeting with Universal executives Friday, and similar meetings with Sony, Paramount, Warner Bros. and possibly others have been scheduled. Sources prepped for those meetings say Tarantino would like Smith to star in the film, the script for which has been making the rounds in recent days to wide acclaim. No official offer has been made to Smith, and any deal would of course be subject to working out financials, which might be difficult given Smith's status as one of Hollywood's few sure-thing stars. Indeed, though Smith has been out of multiplexes since 2008’s Seven Pounds, he is still considered among the top two or three box-office draws worldwide. Smith is being teed up for the title role of Django, a freed slave who seeks to reunite with his slave wife, a journey that will see him team with a German bounty hunter to take down an evil plantation owner. Tarantino wrote the bounty hunter part with Waltz in mind, according to insiders. The German ends up training Django and helping him seek his wife. Jackson would play the house slave to the bad guy, Monsieur Calvin Candie. The slave is an expert manipulator and will face off with Django. Smith and his reps have received the screenplay, which could be a hot potato due to the themes of racism and the liberal use of the N-word. It's unclear whether Smith has read the script yet. The actor manages his image very carefully, but the part is heroic and could be iconic. And let’s not forget that Denzel Washington won his two Oscars playing characters who used the N-word. Tarantino is aiming for a fall shoot in the South, possibly in Louisiana, but the exact locale has not been determined. Last edited by Deberg_1990; 06-06-2012 at 05:05 PM.. |

Reviews are starting to filter out now. They are pretty strong. 100% on RT right now.
http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/django_unchained_2012/ Starting to be some backlash because of copious amounts of N word usage. Drudge is trying to instigate things it seems....

Agreed, but damn. He loves the word. Reservoir Dogs...the scene with Chris Penn and Mr. Blonde in daddy's office...makes you shift uncomfortably.

Probably correct. Didn't see the Kill Bill, and I don't remember it in Basterds. So, of course, he's gonna have to get it out of his system since it's built up so long...

I remember it a bit in Basterds, I think one of the head Nazi guys said it a few times, but only 3-4 times at most. But I do not remember it at all in Death Proof or Kill Bill.

Take some time to watch the Kill Bill flicks. Decent waste of time, Uma Thurman is jsut so damned hot, and thereis great, funny dialogue (as in any QT movie).
