#15. Django Unchained
Director/Writer: Quentin Tarantino
Producers: Reginald Hudlin, Pilar Savone, Stacey Sher and of course, Harvey Weinstein
Distributor: The Weinstein Co.
The Gist: This is a spaghetti Western style story of Django (Jamie Foxx), a freed American slave who under the tutelage of a German bounty hunter (Waltz) and then becomes a badass bounty hunter himself. After assisting Waltz on taking down some bad guys for profit, he is in turn assisted by Waltz in tracking down his slave wife and liberating her from an evil plantation owner (DiCaprio)…(more)
Cast: Sacha Baron Cohen, Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Samuel L. Jackson, Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Kurt Russell, Don Johnson, James Remar, Michael Kenneth Williams, RZA, Kerry Washington, Anthony LaPaglia and James Russo
List Worthy Reasons…: Yet another QT signed revenge coming to us with the usual bells and whistles: scenes with instant re-watch value, classic characters (Waltz has the funnest character of them all), well-written spoken dialogue, an homage riddled score and a casting job that will pay out in spades. Should be a blast – but will this top Basterds or the Kill Bills?
Release Date/Status?: Filming begins this month. Weinstein’s are giving this to us for Xmas.
