Christoph Waltz injured on Django Unchained

Christoph Waltz has dislocated his pelvis during preparation for Quentin Tarantino's 'Django Unchained'

Christoph Waltz has been injured preparing for Quentin Tarantino's 'Django Unchained'.

The 54-year-old actor - who won an Oscar the last time he worked with Quentin on 'Inglorious Basterds' - suffered a dislocated pelvis during a horse ride last week, but he is not dropping out of the project.

A representative said: "Christoph Waltz was injured while training with his horse in preparation for his role. Waltz is currently being treated for a dislocated pelvic bone and is looking forward to getting back in the saddle."

Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L. Jackson are set to star in the film, about a slave named Django who is liberated by a German dentist-turned-bounty hunter - played by Waltz - and taught the tricks of his trade.

However, his main goal is to recover his wife from villainous ranch owner Calvin Candie.

Kevin Costner - who is currently shooting the role of Jonathan Kent in Superman movie 'Man of Steel' - was also cast as a sadistic slave trainer in the film, but dropped out last week due to scheduling conflicts and personal reasons.
