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 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, 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. on December 25, 2012, and internationally by Sony Pictures.

First Look at Waltz:



Django Unchained hits theaters December 25th, 2012.

[Brannon]

Is it a sequel or prequel to that other Django movie with QT in it?

[ThisWreckage]

The longer QT's career lasts, the less interested I am in his projects. I also hate Foxx.

[Net_Wrecker]

One of my favorite directors, one of my favorite genres, one of the genres he's been tip toeing around for years.

This can only be amazing.

[Expendable.]

QT, Robert Richardson and Zach Galifianakis doppelgänger on set:

[-Pyromaniac-]

I love how the RZA finds his way into everything these days. Anyway this will be the best.

[Izick]

Going to be so good.

[johnsmith]

Good god. I could not be more hyped about this movie.

[Sliver]

Should have been Idris Elba.

Still pretty excited.

[JumpingTheGun]

Seeing it for James Remar & Kurt Rowsell

[UnluckyKate]

Wait, I though this would be presented in Cannes ? :'(

[Expendable.]

Wait, I though this would be presented in Cannes ? :'(

Considering they are shooting until June that is highly unlikely :)

[Ridley327]

Is it a sequel or prequel to that other Django movie with QT in it?

Nothing to do with each other, as far as anyone knows.

[Mistle]

Great director, actors and premise. Should be awesome.

[Winnie the Pimp]

yeah, even though his movies have kind of dropped a TINY bit in quality for me recently, they are still more than worth watching in any case...

on board the hype train!!!

[SpacLock]

This movie has a killer cast, with the exception of Jamie Foxx. Love Tarantino and his flicks.

[apocalidiot]

awww yeah

[Sinatar]

It sucks that they went with Foxx over Elba but it's QT so it's going to be incredible regardless.

[UnluckyKate]

Considering they are shooting until June that is highly unlikely :)

I know. I know... I was just being really late on the latest news.

[bud]

tarantino really let himself go.

[Freewheelin']

I have loved all of QT's films (yes, even Kill Bill Vol.2!), so count me in for this!

Would have liked Elba instead of Foxx though. I thought Michael K.Williams was going to be in this too?

[BobLoblaw]

Dat cast

[Deified Data]

Had me at Christof Waltz. I'm on-board.

[HappyBivouac]

He needs to give Takashi Miike a cameo.

[SpacLock]

tarantino really let himself go.

If he wasn't a looker in his 30's than he definitely won't be in his 50's.

[robertsan21]

Jamie fox.... I dont like him.

I really hope this film is awesome, but I do feel that jamie will fuck it up if he is cast in a big part.

[Ignis Fatuus]

Everything sounds good to me. Waltz back with Tarantino can only mean greatness.

Jamie fox.... I dont like him. I really hope this film is awesome, but I do feel that jamie will fuck it up if he is cast in a big part.

He's the lead. And don't hate, he was good in Collateral.

[THE NO LIFE KING]

If their is one film that I can only see this year, its this. Can't wait to see the trailer! At least we have the first pic of the movie finally!

[joeyjoejoeshabadoo]

Is it a sequel or prequel to that other Django movie with QT in it?

Sukiyaki Western Django? Nope nothing to do with that movie. Django is actually an old Spaghetti Western movie staring Franco Nero. The character proved to be so popular that it spawned many other films with Django as the title character but have no relation to each other. The titles for both Miike's film and Tarantino's film are homage to the that period in time when you can sell any Spaghetti Western as long as you had Django in the title.

If your interested the original Django is actually a pretty good movie. It follows the typical Spaghetti Western tropes but it's an entertaining genre film.

[Carbonox_Ratchet]

Gonna be amazing.

[Discotheque]

Would have liked Elba instead of Foxx though. I thought Michael K.Williams was going to be in this too?

Yeah I thought Omar was in this too.

Don't really have problems with Jamie Foxx

[robertsan21]

Everything sounds good to me. Waltz back with Tarantino can only mean greatness. He's the lead. And don't hate, he was good in Collateral.

Auch, well I have to trust the power of Tarantino to make jamie into something I have never seen from him before. It does not go down smooth when Jamie is infront of the camera.

[biosnake20]

How do you get a cast like that? Its ridiculous. Oh wait, be Quentin Tarantino, duh.

[effzee]

Only a three month shoot? Seems fast.

[Washed_Out]

Tarantino...I'm in. Great cast, still wish Idris was in this.

[robertsan21]

A western with Jamie in the lead.... its not gritty and badass enough. I just dont feel it.

Idris would have been a better pick.

[crimzonflame]

Kurt Russell oh yeah!

[Bombadil]

I hope Jamie Foxx can keep a consistent hairline throughout the shoot.

[jett]

A real shame about Foxx being cast, a real shame.

[Expendable.]

Only a three month shoot? Seems fast.

Been shooting since Jan/February IIRC.

[oatmeal]

Script was great, can't wait to see it!

[neptunes]

What the fuck is with the Jamie Foxx hate? I'm suprised at all the Idris Elba love.

How could you even tell which actor would be better for the lead?

[Solo]

I hate Jamie Foxx for the most part, but QT always makes great casting choices, so I know he'll be great in this.

[Zoramon089]

Forgot this was coming out this year. I feel bad for leaving it off my anticipated movies for 2012 list as it'll surely be up there. This year is looking AMAZING. This, Prometheus, DKR, The Hobbit, Amazing Spiderman, Avengers!

[NutJobJim]

A QT Western sounds even better than a QT WWII film, and Inglorious Basterds was brilliant.
Day 1.

[Mr. Sam]

People all over the world! Join hands! Start a hype train! Hype train!

[Ninja Scooter]

Django Unchained hits theaters December 25th, 2012.

That is one elegant mullet.

[Arment]

No problems with the Foxx casting here. Every role should go to Idris Elba according to GAF.

[AgentChris]

I like Foxx in some stuff but Idris was the one.

[Salmonax]

I hate Jamie Foxx for the most part, but QT always makes great casting choices, so I know he'll be great in this.

I dunno. I never fully bought Uma in Kill Bill, but I know they're best friends and she helped come up with the idea. Everyone else was fantastic, though.
