More details about Quentin Tarantino's western have emerged - it seems original Django star Franco Nero will have a cameo in Django Unchained - Tarantino has said he wants to do a movie that deals with some of America's uncomfortable past - in Tarantino's own words, 'Slavery and stuff.' The movie will be set in the deep South and it looks as if Inglorious Basterds star, Christopher Waltz will have a major role. If reports are true Tarantino's Django will be an ex-slave turned bounty hunter and will be played by a black actor. A report that was given credence when Tarantino recently told, Total Film Magazine that he wanted Will Smith for the title role.
I love Taranatino and I love the original Django movie, so all these reports are whipping me up into a frenzy. Whatever happens the reports from the Tarantino camp point to anything but a straight forward remake, but then we always knew that would be the case.
The next blockbuster western is on the way.
Django Unchained is due summer 2013.

Now it looks like Jamie Foxx according to this story, with Leo DiCaprio as a villain and Waltz in the mentor role I've already seen mentioned. Very interesting so far.
