Django Unchained: Tarantino's Spaghetti Western.

I've had the chance to read Quentin Tarantino's script for his new movie this week, it's a western called 'Django Unchained' which he finished writing in April (see his cover above) and I'm 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. Can't say much about the storyline, as I've seen other people talking about it online getting served by a pack of hungry lawyers from Weinstein threatening to tear them apart if they didn't remove the plot. What I can say about it, is what's officially stated on IMDB: it's 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 doesn't say much, but then again, Tarantino doing a western, that doesn't need much description, right?

I've been reading his stuff ever since he penned 'Pulp Fiction' while staying overhere in Amsterdam in March 1992. I really enjoyed his last screenplay, which was for 'Inglorious Basterds'.

It had a lot of scenes in it that never made it to the final cut. I'm guessing that will be the case with this one too, as it's 168 pages long, I'm sure there are a few scenes that are just too rude to keep if they've planned a release at Christmas Day.

Compared to Tarantino's 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.

It's rumoured both Idris Elba and Michael K. Williams (from HBO's '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 Jackson's 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey', the prequel to the 'Lord of the Rings' trilogy, which will consist of two movies, based on Tolkien's novel from 1937.
