Django Unchained Releases Exciting New Stills

5 hours ago | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

We know Quentin Tarantino’s latest, Django Unchained, is already badass enough to be possibly featuring ahead of Prometheus when it’s released in the UK 1st June (only a few more days, we can do it!) However, that and the stills previously released aren’t really enough to keep all of us Tarantino fans quietly settled into our daily lives. Well, fear not fellow film buffs, just check out the newly released stills below to keep you cool, collected and satiated.

The images show us more of Jamie Foxx in the role of Django, the once enslaved bounty hunter hellbent on saving his wife from callous Mississippi plantation owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) Also looking pretty damn awesome is Christoph Waltz as Dr King Schultz, sending bullets flying true to Tarantino’s style and the classic Western.

Django Unchained also stars Don Johnson, Samuel L Jackson, James Russo,Walton Goggins, »

7 hours ago | Upcoming-Movies.com | See recent Upcoming-Movies.com news »

Some slick new photos of DiCaprio, Tarantino and Christoph Waltz in these new images from the eagerly anticipated Django Unchained movie. The western actioner opens on Christmas Day, 2012, directed and written by Tarantino, and produced by Harvey Weinstein, Pilar Savone and Stacey Sher. The strong cast includes Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz, Kurt Russell, Kerry Washington, Sacha Baron Cohen, Don Johnson, RZA, Anthony Lapaglia, Gerald McRainey, M.C. Gainey, Rex Linn, James Remar and James Russo. Set in the South two years before the Civil War, Django Unchained stars 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 (Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty.

15 May 2012 5:00 AM, PDT | Rope of Silicon | See recent Rope Of Silicon news »

I have arrived in Cannes and started making the rounds around the Croisette where things are still being assembled, but already up and just outside the Grand Lumiere Theatre is the above poster for Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, which is set to hit theaters this Christmas.

Additional members of the stacked cast include Samuel L. Jackson, Gerald McRaney, Dennis Christopher, M.C. Gainey, Don Johnson, Tom Savini, Anthony Lapaglia, RZA, Misty Upham, James Remar, Rex Linn, James Russo and Tom Wopat.

Sacha Baron Cohen and Kurt Russell Latest to Depart Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained

13 May 2012 9:32 AM, PDT | TheHDRoom | See recent TheHDRoom news »

Sacha Baron Cohen and Kurt Russell are the latest casualties from Quentin Tarantino's western Django Unchained, joining previously departed Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Kevin Costner.

Cohen's schedule is currently swamped with press rounds for the upcoming release of The Dictator, and felt he didn't have the time to give to Tarantino for his role. The extent of that role is unknown; however, Cohen did tell Howard Stern it wasn't much more than a cameo. Whether Tarantino will re-cast the role or write it out is currently unknown.

Russell had stepped in for Costner after the latter dropped out of the Ace Woody role, the right-hand man of villain slave and plantation owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) who is holding former slave Django's (Jamie Foxx) wife as a slave. Rumors from the IMDb message boards suggest Russell wasn't happy with the lack of "western" in the film and left the set »

Kurt Russell & Sacha Baron Cohen Exit Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained

10 May 2012 2:10 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

Kurt Russell and Sacha Baron Cohen have dropped out of starring in Quentin Tarantino’s new movie “Django Unchained”.

Russell had the bigger part of the two, playing the role of ruthless henchman Ace Woody, a down right bastard who trains slaves to fight each other for the amusement of white men. The role would have been Russell’s first on screen since he appeared as ‘Stuntman Mike’ in Tarantino’s Grindhouse picture “Death Proof” five years ago. Russell actually replaced the originally cast Kevin Costner in the forthcoming western, who had scheduling issues with the Pa Kent role in “Man of Steel” and was probably uncertain of how his housewives favourite image might be effected in playing such a baddie.

As for why Russell dropped out? His camp ain’t saying. Variety broke the news last night.

Meanwhile Sacha Baron Cohen has also revealed that he won’t appear in the movie either. »

Kurt Russell and Sacha Baron Cohen Both Drop Quentin Tarantino’s ‘Django Unchained’

9 May 2012 7:14 PM, PDT | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »

Despite my unbridled anticipation for Quentin Tarantino‘s Django Unchained, one has to admit it’s been an up-and-down rollercoaster of casting since the first inklings, when Will Smith was looking at the lead role. Kevin Costner departed before production, and then Joseph Gordon-Levitt recently exited due to scheduling issues and now we’ve got two more actors we won’t see on the big screen.

First up, Sacha Baron Cohen announced on Howard Stern‘s show that he won’t be able to make his cameo work due to his commitment to The Dictator press tour. Following that, Variety has confirmed some rumblings that Kurt Russell is gone from the film, but why?

Someone on the IMDb forums, with a source working on set, has a possible answer and while it isn’t confirmed it gives us a hint of some problems on set. Reportedly Russell was “unhappy with »

First official images from Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained

28 April 2012 3:26 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »

Following the release of the teaser poster a couple of weeks back, Entertainment Weekly have now got their hands on the first official images from Quentin Tarantino's upcoming Spaghetti Western tribute, Django Unchained.

First up is a shot of Jamie Foxx (Ray) as the eponymous Django (whom Foxx describes as "Richard Roundtree meets Clint Eastwood"), along with his mentor, the German bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz, played by Christoph Waltz (Inglourious Basterds)...

And secondly comes a look at Leonardo DiCaprio (Inception) as the villainous plantation owner Calvin Candie...

The pre-Civil War set tale sees the freed slave Django joining forces with Schultz to search for his wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington; Fantastic Four), a path which leads them to Candie's infamous 'Candyland' plantation, where slaves are groomed to battle each other for sport.

Joining Foxx, Waltz, DiCaprio and Washington in the cast are Sacha Baron Cohen (The Dictator), Samuel L. Jackson »

Django Unchained - First Official Look at Tarantino's New Movie

26 April 2012 9:00 AM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

Here's our first official look at Quentin Tarantino's new film Django Unchained, which he's described as being a spaghetti southern. The images give us a look at the film's two heroes Jamie Foxx and Christoph Waltz, and Leonardo DiCaprio as the evil villain plantation owner named Calvin Candie, "who likes to make his toughest slaves fight to the death in gladiatorial combat." Everyone looks great in their roles! DiCaprio looks like an evil son-of-a-bitch. Foxx had this to say  in a interview with EW,

There’s a beautiful way [Tarantino] found for the characters to talk to each other. It’s mindblowing. You’ve never heard it this way. You’ve seen movies deal with slavery — or westerns that never dealt with slavery – do it the safe way. This way is like … wow.

I have no doubt Tarantino is going to give us a film that is once again going to entertainingly shock us. »

International Teaser Poster for Tarantino's Django Unchained

11 April 2012 5:30 PM, PDT | GeekTyrant | See recent GeekTyrant news »

Here's our first look at some poster art for Quntin Tarantino's new movie Django Unchained. The poster comes from the twitter feed of Sony Pictures Spanish division. I love the minimalist design, and it awesomely conveys that classic spaghetti western tone. 

As a fan of Tarantino I can't wait to see what he's got in store for us with this movie. It sounds like it's going to be pretty amazing. The story follows the character Django (Jamie Fox), a freed slave, who, under the protection and care of a German bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) becomes a hardcore bounty hunter himself, and after assisting Waltz in taking down some villains for profit, Waltz's character helps him track down his slave wife and liberate her from a villainous plantation owner (Leonardo DiCaprio). One of the thing's I'm looking forward to most about this movie is DiCaprio playing a bad guy, I think »
