Exclusive: 'Django Unchained' Actress Daniele Watts, In Post On Whimsical Feature Doc 'Urgency'
11 December 2012 4:55 PM, PST | ShadowAndAct | See recent ShadowAndAct news »
We continue to have our eyes on relative newcomer Daniele Watts, who we usually refer to as "The Strange Thing About the Johnsons actress Daniele Watts," given that it was via that very controversial short film that many of us were first introduced to her. Since then, over the last 12 months, she's been cast in TV and film roles, most notably Showtime’s Weeds for its final season; and Quentin Tarantino's highly-anticipated and hotly-contested slave revenge narrative Django Unchained, which will be her big-screen debut - she'd done mostly TV, theater and shorts work before this, and her resume begins in 2008, so she's »

TVLine Items: TLC Bets on Pete Rose, Weeds Casting News, Ricki Lake Preview and More!
18 July 2012 11:40 AM, PDT | TVLine.com | See recent TVLine.com news »
Batter up! TLC has ordered five episodes of a new docu-series revolving around Pete Rose, the polarizing baseball great.
The yet-to-be-titled series will follow Rose, his fiancée Kiana Kim and their attempt to blend their families together. The show will also chronicle the Cincinnati Reds star and onetime manager’s struggle with the controversial 1980s gambling scandal that has kept him out of the Hall of Fame and the sport he loves for over 20 years — an issue that he considers appealing again with the commissioner during the TLC project.
The Rose series is set to debut later this year.

But she's also done some theater work. Worth noting is that Daniele co-starred in that dark, twisted melodramatic short film that sparked a sea of impassioned comments all over the web, wherever it was posted - The Strange Thing About the...

First Look At Christoph Waltz As Dr. King Schultz On The Set Of 'Django Unchained'
2 April 2012 1:03 PM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later. With filming underway on Quentin Tarantino's slavery/spaghetti wester/vengeance tale "Django Unchained" the production has been keeping everything surrounding the film tightly under wraps, with little leaking out. Until now.
A first look at Christoph Waltz in costume as Dr. King Schultz on the set of the film has arrived (ChristophWaltzFans.com via Ontd). He plays the bounty hunter who pairs up with a freed slave (Jamie Foxx) to track down his wife (Kerry Washington) who is being held by a sadistic plantation owner, Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). What else can we tell you that you don't already know...and holy shit, is that a gun in his pocket or is Waltz just happy to see you? And here's a small additional morsel of info. Last month, the Hattiesburg American reported that largely unknown actor Johnny McPhail landed a »

'Scott Pilgrim' Writer Michael Bacall Confirms Role In 'Django Unchained'; Tom Wopat Reveals Details Of His Appearance
13 March 2012 9:50 AM, PDT | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" is in the midst of production, under a surprisingly tight veil of secrecy that has prevented any significant leaks coming from the movie (except for some super bland shots of some completely empty sets). To be sure, this is the director's starriest and arguably most controversial outing yet, a slavery/western/vengeance tale that features a lengthy credit scroll that includes Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz, Sacha Baron Cohen, Kerry Washington, Dennis Christopher, Kurt Russell, Laura Cayouette, Don Johnson, M.C. Gainey, Tom Savini, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Anthony Lapaglia, RZA, Misty Upham, Tom Wopat, James Remar, James Russo, Todd Allen, Rex Linn, Catherine Lambert and Daniele Watts. Phew. And guess what: Tarantino is still adding players to his film.
ScreenCrave recently caught up with writer Michael Bacall -- who is enjoying a helluva 2012 so far with the success of "Project X" and the »

Actress Digs Up Her Past As She Prepares To Play Slave In Tarantino Film
18 January 2012 5:36 PM, PST | WENN | See recent WENN news »
Actress Daniele Watts' new role in Quentin Tarantino's new film Django Unchained has prompted the young star to seek out more about her own family history.
Watts has been cast as Coco in the much-anticipated, all-star movie and she has discovered her great-grandparents were slaves and that she has a rich ancestral history related to the African-American struggle.
The actress admits the preparation she has been doing before joining the cast in New Orleans, Louisiana has been fascinating.
She tells WENN, "I come from a theatre background so a lot of my preparation is research... I've played other roles where I'm playing characters who are living during the time of slavery and the research is really interesting. I've visited my family in Atlanta and we drove down to Alabama and I'll be driving to Mississippi, where my family is from, to soak it in about what it was like to have been there.
"My dad is really big on that (genealogy) and he has talked with me about great-grandparents who were slaves, but it's all sort of muddy. I know that part of my family was Creek Indian and I know that many of my family is buried at a Watts family cemetery in Mississippi." »

Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained Casts Newcomer Daniele Watts
13 January 2012 1:01 PM, PST | cinemablend.com | See recent Cinema Blend news »
Quentin Tarantino.s Django Unchained was originally set to start filming this month before an unexplained delay pushed production into February. Hopefully this doesn.t affect the planned Christmas Day 2012 release - we don.t want to wait another full year for the next Qt - and that the delays are just part of the director making sure everything is perfectly in place. Speaking of all the elements being in place, the writer-director has just cast newcomer Danièle Watts in a small role in the slavery revenge flick. The Playlist reports that Watts has just been cast in the highly anticipated follow up to Inglorious Basterds. Watts, who has only been seen in bit-parts on TV shows like 90210 and Castle, has a few feature films on the way and despite her relative inexperience is going to get to play with some heavy hitters in the Tarantino film.

Daniele Watts ‘Unchained’ for Tarantino; Emily Browning to Lead ‘Summer in February’; Shirley MacLaine Circles ‘Walter Mitty’
13 January 2012 11:40 AM, PST | The Film Stage | See recent The Film Stage news »
Quentin Tarantino is this close to rolling cameras on my most anticipated film of 2012, Django Unchained, but there are still a few roles to lock into place. One of these, it seems, is Coco; I haven’t read the script and, thus, can’t figure out who that is or how she affects the story, but ThePlaylist reports that she’ll be played by Daniéle Watts. If that name rings no bells, fret not — most of her work has been in single episodes of TV shows or smaller films, making Django her biggest part to date. Certainly not a bad career move on her part.
The main cast is filled out by Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Kurt Russell, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, and Sacha Baron Cohen. Django Unchained will open on December 25th.
The next casting concerns Sucker Punch and Sleeping Beauty actress Emily Browning, who, according to ScreenDaily, »

Danièle Watts Joins 'Django Unchained' As Coco
13 January 2012 8:50 AM, PST | The Playlist | See recent The Playlist news »
It looks like Quentin Tarantino is putting the final pieces in place for "Django Unchained" as yet another actor has come aboard what is already a ridonkulous cast. Rising actress Danièle Watts will get a nice bit of a career boost coming aboard for Quentin Tarantino's film in the role of Coco. It's a small one, but still an opportunity for Watts to spend time at the catering table hanging out with Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson, Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Sacha Baron Cohen and more. Not bad. Watts has been working steadily, popping up recently on episodes of "Criminal Minds," "Detroit 187," and "Cold Case," but clearly this will be her biggest gig yet. While filming was originally slated to start this month, about a week ago Nola reported production had been pushed back slightly, with cameras now rolling in February. No reason given for the delay, but it »
