Quentin Tarantino's Western movie "Django Unchained"

Nah, just sounds like he knows how to extract revenge in the tradition of the master:

There's something perfectly trashy spaghetti western about that.

so Waltz is the villain...?

DiCaprio is the villain, Waltz is one of the people Foxx teams up with, from what I understand.

Yay synopsis:

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...

Nice to spot MC Gainey, too bad he bites it. Also, Walton Goggins is in this somewhere?

I thought that was Clancy Brown who Waltz shoots near the beginning, but apparently it's James Remar. Also, both James Remar and James Russo are apparently in this.

I will see the shit out of this movie, but the trailer itself doesn't really do anything for me.

by way of comparison, the trailer for Children of Men was HORRIBLE, so much so that it made me not want to go anywhere near the film - and yet when I did eventually see it I thought it was one of the two best sci-fi films of the last 20 years

yeah the trailer for this is surprisingly generic, but i'm pretty sure the inglourious basterds trailer (or several of 'em) was nothing special either. in any event, people who write think pieces about movies based around their trailers are just--

no?

more yes than no. it is meant to elicit a belief that the film is worth paying to see all of it, which is def a preliminary judgment of the film.

― Aimless, Thursday, 7 June 2012 18:55 (11 months ago) Permalink

It's marketing, and most of the time the director of the film doesn't even have anything to do with it (although i doubt that's true in this case to be fair)

― Number None, Thursday, 7 June 2012 19:03 (11 months ago) Permalink

xpost

no it is not. it is a preliminary judgement of WHETHER YOU WANT TO SEE THE FILM. and if you actually know anything more about the film or the people who made it that might actually supersede or at least complement the trailer. jeez, people.

Back in college, months before it came out, someone gave me a copy of the "Pulp Fiction" script. I literally opened it up, saw the word "chainsaw," then closed it back up again until I had seen the movie.
