Django Unchained--Tarintino's new project

ARISE, O THREAD!

Soundtrack news: apparently, Quentin's playing Jim Croce's "I've Got A Name" on the set...much as Sergio Leone played Morricone's music:

(BTW...while we're on the subject of music--I'm personally pinning for him using Sam Spence's "Round Up"!

First images of human beings on the set (as oppose to the set itself), including a rather dapper, if hairy, Christoph Waltz

 

First poster, it's the international poster...looks pretty awesome. Haven't seen it anywhere else yet but joblo is pretty reputable.

^ It's been on a few sites since you posted the link. And yes, it is awesome.

 

Official synopsis. I was going to print the synopsis itself but it's perhaps more detailed than the spoiler-sensitive of you would like, so I'll just leave the link to it.

They were filming about 4 blocks from my house about 2 weeks ago.

 

A couple of pics of Foxx, Dicaprio (I want that waistcoat) and Waltz all in costume are up at IMDB

Nice photos, I hope we're going to see a trailer soon.

 

I haven't been paying any attention to this till now. I seriously thought it was a biopic of Django Reinhardt!

My first reaction is that I love historical drama, so I'm in. Then I see Mr. Tarantino is involved. Then I see that Leo is playing the eviler, mustache-twirlier brother of Simon Legree, Foxx is dressed as a gunslinger, his wife is named Broomhilda and the slave plantation is named Candyland. Thank goodness the plantation owner's surname wasn't Disney, or there would be hell to pay.

So Tarantino is going to do for the antebellum South what he did for WWII with Inglourious Basterds. Which means there's no telling how this is going to come off till we see it.

I like crazy risks. I'm still in.

 

Awesome. I seriously can't wait for Christmas.

 

Between this movie and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, people are going to be getting a pretty weird idea what pre-Civil-War America was like.

 

The pic of Waltz and Fox somehow reminds me of For A Few Dollars More, and the older-younger dynamic of Colonel Mortimer and The Man With No Name....

 

The script has a lot of that feel to me as well, though with a stronger chain of command between them and not just a loose association/manipulation

 

I might've thought that, but I was completely distracted by the fact that Jamie Foxx's outfit is exactly the same as Little Joe Cartwright's from Bonanza.



Even the hat band is the same.

At any rate, it doesn't hurt my interest since I enjoy a good Spaghetti Western.

 

I knew that costume looked familiar!!!

 

Wouldn't surprise me if it was intentional. And well spotted!

 

I wouldn't be surprised either if it was intentional. To me "Django Unchained" is like QT's ultimate homage to spaghetti westerns, and seems to be influenced by a number of different sources.

 

Fascinating.

 

His look is meant to be an homage to both Little Joe Cartwright from "Bonanza" and Elvis Presley in the western "Flaming Star."

Also there is evidently a song called "Django" by a jazz artist named Joe Cartwright

 

Thanks and yeah, it's too exact to be a coincidence and clearly homage as Benny says. I think Foxx wears it well.

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiice!
