Django Unchained

Postby ewp805 on Thu May 31, 2012 7:20 pm

Some production stills have just been released from Tarantino's Django Unchained, coming out this December.

Thoughts?

DiCaprio Bookends for the holiday season both on Christmas Day. While the Great Gatsby looks like it's going to be very big on style, the killer plot for Django and it's cast put it at the top of my list for wanna see movies for 2012. Tarantino definitely knows how to make a good film, if he'll just do it.

I'm really coming to appreciate Christopher Waltz, particularly after his role in Carnage.

And I'd say the chances of this being the Year of the Leo are very good, maybe even two nominations.

P.S. Samuel L Jackson had to have some giant brass ones to take the role of the House Slave--particularly if he wears valet duds and exposes Django and all--unless he has a change of heart???? In either case, who's gonna mess with the Jules:

Holy Crap. I was already super stoked for this....but I had no idea that Franco Nero had a part. Those are great pics, Tarantino needs to hurry up so he can have more of my money already...

Looks like Django Unchained might end up being the best Western since 2005's The Proposition.

The Proposition was set in 1935 Boston. So how 'bout Open Range, 3:10 to Yuma, There Will Be Blood, & Appaloosa.

Waltz is a bounty hunter who buys and frees Django (Foxx) in exchange for his help. They then become allies hunting bounty in the South, with Django intent on freeing his wife. (?Children?)

I was referring to John Hillcoat's 2005 film The Proposition, set in the the Australian Outback in the 1880s, not the 1998 film The Proposition set in 1930's Boston.

Open Range and the 3:10 to Yuma remake were good but neither could touch Hillcoat's movie (and Open Range actually predates it by two years), and Appaloosa just sucked (100% Renee Zellweger's fault). I haven't seen There Will Be Blood or The Assassination of Jesse James yet, but they'd have to be pretty goddamn special to be better than The Proposition...it was a T10 for me. :D

At the time it came out, The Proposition was the best western since Tombstone in 1994.

Yeah, I was real pleased to see that QT was able to get Nero involved. Although, I don't think he'll be dragging around any coffins in this. He's probably a bit too old for that haha.

I was set up, IMDb kept taking me to the '98 movie when I punched the '05 link. :o I swear. I obviously haven't seen either of them. And I thought Zellweger was really good as the conniving.....female.
