During the BET Awards, The Weinstein Company unveiled a new 60-second trailer for "Django Unchained," featuring a look at Samuel L Jackson's character. That trailer has now made its way online. Check it out below.
Plot: Django (Jamie Foxx) is a slave who is liberated by a German dentist-turned-bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) and taught the tricks of the trade by his mentor. Django's major goal in life is to recover his wife (Kerry Washington), and to do it he needs to get past the villainous ranch owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio), who runs Candyland, a despicable club and plantation in Mississippi where female slaves are exploited as sex objects and males are pitted against each other in death matches. Candyland is a slave's worst nightmare, and that is where Django's wife Broomhilda is an abused slave.
The rest of the cast is comprised of Jonah Hill, Don Johnson, Joseph Goron-Levitt, and RZA. "Django Unchained" is set to hit theaters on December 25th.
After the preview at the BET awards everybody shot their guns in the air while Tarantino jerked off to Beyonces feet
We need testerone overdosed filled movies to wash these p*ssy werewolf/vampire,Gi joe with extra Channing movies out our eyes
Tarantino may be hit and miss, his films often have some really slow and/or self-indulgent moments, but on the whole he always entertains. i will see this in the theater.
I hear ya Bandit and actually somewhat agree. They should have stuck with the Leone Spaghetti Western remix theme instead of switching to the 70s funk. Either way the trailer music probably has little to do with the film's actual score.
The end of 2012 is looking pretty promising. Django and Looper look much better than anything left coming out this summer. Yes including The Dork Knight Returns.

Sam jackson is a big attention whore.he rubs it on everyones face that he stars in movies with the big boys.he almost does the same f*cking act he has done in all his 90s movies.he stars in about 15 or more films a year and it gets annoying after a while.
There are other brothas in the biz that are trying to make it but thanks to Sam Jackson and Morgan freeman.they will never be heard of.
His career died after unbreakable

The 70's Grindhouse shtick is getting old. Why doesn't the guy try to make something original? He could start by making a movie that doesn't borrow 90% of its filming style and music from the 70s and early 80s.

Come on, you're better at trolling than that. Also, QT is pretty pretentious (mostly egotistical), but Kevin Smith takes the cake (and eats it).
"In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community"
Pretty sure posting my opinion of QT in a QT thread isn't extraneous, and my comment was fairly tame for me, so there goes the inflammatory part. Off-topic? Well, that's just redundant, Wikipedia.
I love Tarantinos films but everything being said is true
I actually thought he was going to start takin his films in a different direction after Inglourious Bastards
But hes just slipped back into his cookie cutter comfort zone
I think Tarantino makes great Tarantino films. Does anyone on these comments have a youtube with their own masterpieces. "How many *ssholes we got on this ship, anyhow?" - spaceballs
"one comment against the avengers and I'm a moron?"
I enjoyed Avengers, but it's a completely empty and forgettable film. Haven't seen Battleship, but it looks about as mindless, though not as well made, as Avengers. Two films, both fun and only fun, just one more poorly constructed.
Remaking a Sergio Corbucci western with Franco Nero guest cameo and a Morricone remix, followed by James Brown ... the only thing is Eli Wallach as Tuco telling all the Tarantinoish characters, " If you gotta shoot, shoot, Don't talk. "
Sorry, Quint. Leone kicked your ass on spaghetti westerns before you were old enough to rip off exploitation movies to "create" your own.
And having Samuel L Jackson look like the Uncle Ben's Rice logo ? You were better off dressing him up like Colonel Sanders.
I remember when Quint said he would retire before his movies started tapering off .... lying motherf*cker.
Haha I knew you would catch that bait because nothing goes by you. Honestly, I love it when you go off...and yes, that is what she said (before I caved in her mouth).
Tarantino has never/will never do a remake (in regards to your statement about Inglorious Basterds). He does direct in a pastiche/homage/fanboy way , but his dialogue and set-up for his memorable scenes are pretty f*cking fresh.
"Tarantino. The man just makes the same garish black exploitation technocolor bullsh*t over and over. "
I didn't address this earlier, but you killed me with this. Dude has really only directed eight films (Pulp Fiction, Reservoir Dogs, Kill Bill 1 & 2, Death Proof, Inglorious Basterds, Jackie Brown, and now Django Unchained). Jackie Brown kind of dipped into black exploitation (that was his only film adapted from a novel by someone else), and Django Unchained does dip into it with references to Mandingo. I will give you partial credit for those and just say no!
"And more Sam Jackson, too. Because QT just can't forget Pulp Fiction. Whatever."
Jules Winnfield was arguably Sam Jackson's break-out role (some will say Jungle Fever but it is a bit of a toss-up). sh*t, if I (or probably any betting man/sane director) struck gold (awards don't really matter to me but nominations for Sam Jack, best picture nominations, Palm d'Or, oscar for screenwriting) with a break-out actor on my second outing, I would probably keep him around for a bit, too. Wouldn't you? (Go ahead and trash Samuel L. Jackson for playing himself at different levels of anger through out his career (I don't agree))
"Do something different, QT. Stop trying so damned desperately to be 'hip' and 'cool'. Stop being the cinematic king of pretension, you one hit wonder."
I kind of addressed this above by giving you all of his major motion pictures. Pretty diverse collection. What remains the same: his style (as much as people love it and love to hate it) and reoccurring themes of vengeance. This comparison might kill a few of you (because you hate his guts) but lets play word association with a few directors. Scorsese? Gangster. Hitchc*ck? Suspense. Lynch? F***ed-up (or surreal if you are being nice). Brooks? Comedy. Cameron? EPIC! Bay? sh*t (or explosions if you are being nice). Sure, Tarantino could change it up, but why set yourself up for failure by exploiting your weakness (he isn't the Cohen brothers, although stylistically,they are probably the closest to kin). I don't see him trying to be hip and cool as much as paying forward his influences. He is very open about the shots and sh*t inspired by other people. I see something like buying into the gimmick that is 3-D more of a director trying to be "hip" and "cool" (Cameron, Scorsese, and Scott even though they each did a damn good job).
@pornfly
I can assure you that it isn't regular-old Tarantino. That script is 50 shades of f*cked-up awesomeness, and the trailer..."IT'S A TRAP." It's meant to get the general public's interest up so that they unknowingly get f***ed in the ass (A Ving Rhames cameo would be great...without Zed, the gimp, and the ass-f***ing) when they go see it.
If this films sucks six months from now (and we are all still alive), I will admit that I am wrong and commit Seppuku.
/facepalm
It isn't a remake... He is pretty open with taking sh*t and twisting it. Why haven't any of those directors sued him for plagiarism yet? I know someone tried with Kill Bill. Bob Dylan did that sh*t throughout his career and only Joni Mitchell cared. Sure, I will admit that is a horrible comparison...sue me.
"And more Sam Jackson, too. Because QT just can't forget Pulp Fiction. Whatever."
Burton has Depp, Marty has Leo and Deniro, Speilberg has Ford, Leone had Eastwood, Zemeckis/Hanks, Ridley Scott/Crowe, Tony Scott/Denzel, Cameron/Arnold and Sigourney, Soderbergh/Clooney, Wes Anderson/Murray and Owen Wilson, etc etc....
Directors getting attached to certain actors that bring them success is nothing new at all. Wake up and stop bitching about one of the few things that still works in Hwood.
