First Look: 'Django Unchained' looks off the hook... see what I did there?

Well that was quick... Entertainment Weekly just released the first images from the set of Quentin Tarentino's new flick, 'Django Unchained'.


Sick overcoat, Christoph.  And Jamie, what is that color on your jacket... olive?  The costume designer for this movie must have been a store manager for Banana Republic.



Quite the ascot there, Leo.  Although I wouldn't suggest doing home improvement projects in a three piece suit.

This movie looks awesome already.  It looks like Quentin is going for a very specific look, which means that he has some serious ideas swirling around in that coke-laden genius head of his.  I loved the Spaghetti Western aspects of 'Kill Bill', so this should be as good or better.

Newsflash: Tarentino's 'Django Unchained' Synopsis


On December 25th, Quentin Tarentino will unleash his new flick upon the masses (see what I did there?).  I'll let the Weinstein Bros. tell you what it's about:


Set in the South two years before the Civil War, "Django Unchained" stars Academy Award®-winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award®-winner Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles – dead or alive.

Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South’s most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago.

Django and Schultz’s search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Academy Award®-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of “Candyland,” an infamous plantation where slaves are groomed by trainer Ace Woody (Kurt Russell) to battle each other for sport. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Academy Award®-nominee Samuel L. Jackson), Candie's trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival...

Written and directed by Academy Award®-winner Quentin Tarantino, DJANGO UNCHAINED is produced by Stacey Sher, Pilar Savone and Reginald Hudlin. The executive producers are Harvey and Bob Weinstein, Michael Shamberg, Shannon McIntosh, and James Skotchdopole. DJANGO UNCHAINED will be released in the U.S. on December 25, 2012, and internationally by Sony Pictures Releasing International.

Christoph Waltz as a Civil War Mr. Miyagi, Jamie Foxx as a bad-ass-former-slave-bounty-hunter, & Leonardio DiCaprio as a villian?!  DONE.  Wake me for 'The Dark Knight Rises', then wake me for this.
