Django Unchained Tarantinos Spaghetti Western

Ive had the chance to read Quentin Tarantinos script for his new movie this week, its a western called Django Unchained which he finished writing in April (see his cover above) and Im sure it will break all kinds of records when it will hit the cinema at Christmas 2012.
I gotta say, he really hit the jackpot with this one. Cant say much about the storyline, as Ive seen other people talking about it online getting served by a pack of hungry lawyers from Weinstein threatening to tear them apart if they didnt remove the plot. What I can say about it, is whats officially stated on IMDB: its about A slave-turned-bounty hunter who sets out to rescue his wife from the brutal Calvin Candie, a Mississippi plantation owner. Hahaha, well, that doesnt say much, but then again, Tarantino doing a western, that doesnt need much description, right?

It had a lot of scenes in it that never made it to the final cut. Im guessing that will be the case with this one too, as its 168 pages long, Im sure there are a few scenes that are just too rude to keep if theyve planned a release at Christmas Day.
Compared to Tarantinos other work, I feel this one has extremely well written dialogues, better even than usual. the characters seemed completely fleshed out.
Jamie Foxx will star as Django, with Samuel L. Jackson and Leonardo DiCaprio also starring (DiCaprio plays the bad guy this time). Christopher Waltz, who played the SS Colonel Hans Landa in Inglorious Basterds will have the lead. He plays a semi-civilised German bounty hunter who releases Django and teaches him the tricks of the trade.
Its rumoured both Idris Elba and Michael K. Williams (from HBOs The Wire) may join the cast. (Check out Williams interview with Kevin Smith in his smodcast).When it premieres, it will have to compete though, with Peter Jacksons The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the prequel to the Lord of the Rings trilogy, which will consist of two movies, based on Tolkiens novel from 1937. Beneath are some early custom made posters by Italian graphic designer Frederico Mancosu (left) and Carlos Ramos (right).
