SYNOPSIS
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. 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, Reginald Hudlin and Pilar Savone. The executive producers are Harvey and Bob Weinstein, Michael Shamberg, Shannon McIntosh, and James Skotchdopole. DJANGO UNCHAINED will be released in the U.S. by The Weinstein Company on December 25, 2012, and internationally by Sony Pictures.

 

I dunno – while the film boasts an all-star cast, the whole combination of Tarantino and the subject matter are a tricky one for me.

What do you think about this film? Comment below.

    Very excited! Does that pic suggest a Tarantino cameo or does he just like dressing up?

      Probably the latter. Feeling the spirit of the film I suppose.

    Just saw these over at Castor’s. Nice pics, but I’m not anticipating this as much as the others.

    The plot seems to be multi-layered, which can be both good and bad, if not acted properly and/or not directed well. I suspect that given this project’s subject matter and hoopla, both the actor(s) and director are well-prepared. I’ll say this, I am definitely intrigued.

      I will let you watch and report back to me. But like you said, I am sure that the film will be carefully crafted due to its subject matter.

    This looks very good, although I am still surprised to see Tarantino doing a western! I can’t wait to watch it!
