Quentin Tarantino’s DJANGO UNCHAINED Will Celebrate Christmas 2012

David Fincher’s take on THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO calls itself this year’s “feel bad movie of Christmas” Well, the feel-badass movie of next year’s Christmas would be Quentin Tarantino‘s DJANGO UNCHAINED.
Via comingsoon, The Weinstein Company will release DJANGO UNCHAINED on December 25, 2012. The film has no competition in its opening weekend, at least for now.
No actor has been cast to play the title character yet, previous rumors include Will Smith, Idris Elba and Jamie Foxx..

Either Will Smith or Idris Elba or Jamie Foxx would get to star as the title character in Tarantino’s DJANGO UNCHAINED about a slave who teams up with a German bounty hunter, Dr. King Schulz, to search for his slave wife.
Christoph Waltz might get to play the German bounty hunter who helps the slave take down the evil plantation owner named Monsieur Calvin Candie
Leonardo DiCaprio is in talks to play Calvin Candie.
Another Tarantino’s muse, Samuel L. Jackson is also said to be circling the role of the plantation owner’s house slave, named Stephen, a.k.a Candie’s right hand slave. Word has it that Tarantino is even looking to reteam with reclusive funnyman Chris Tucker (Rush Hour) who worked with QT on Jackie Brown

Someone over at Hollywood Elsewhere claimed to have read the script and this is his description..

“The title character Django is a freed slave, who under the tutelage of a German bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) becomes a badass bounty hunter himself and after assisting Waltz on taking down some bad guys for profit, is in turn assisted by Waltz in tracking down his slave wife and liberating her from an evil plantation owner. And that doesn’t even half begin to cover it! This film deals with racism as I’ve rarely seen it handled in a Hollywood film. While it’s 100 percent pure popcorn and revenge flick, it is pure genius in the way it takes on the evil slave owning south. Think of what he did with the Nazis in Inglourious and you’ll get a sense of what he’s doing with slave owners and slave overseers in this one. It’s violent and funny and full of great Tarantino monologues and shoot outs (and slave rapes and slave tortures) and the center piece of the script is this fantastic relationship between Django and his Obi-Wan Waltz and it all just f*cking works in the way only Tarantino makes it work.”
