We may be seven months away from the release of Django Unchained but the movie is already causing a stir.
I am super excited about it already and absolutely gutted that we have to wait until January before the Quentin Tarantino movie finally hits the big screen – but it promises to be one of the best films of early 2013.
Yes Django Unchained is the first movie for Tarantino since the huge success of Inglourious Basterds back in the summer of 2009.
And here is the new trailer for Django Unchained just to wet your appetite:
Jamie Foxx leads an all star cast as he takes on the role of Django alongside Leonardo DiCaprio, Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz.
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…
Django Unchained is released 18th January.
