Jamie Foxx to star in Tarantinos next "Django Unchained"
Wow, at first glance sounds like oil and water....but im down with this in a weird way. QT hasnt let me down yet.
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hea...trunner-186250 Will Smith has emerged as the frontrunner to star in Quentin Tarantino’s next film, Django Unchained, a spaghetti Western about a slave in the Old South who teams with a German bounty hunter to search for his wife. Tarantino stalwarts Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz also are circling key parts. The film, Tarantino’s follow-up to his worldwide blockbuster Inglourious Basterds, will be distributed domestically by the Weinstein Co., but Tarantino is in the process of selecting a studio partner to release the film internationally. Sources say he was meeting with Universal executives Friday, and similar meetings with Sony, Paramount, Warner Bros. and possibly others have been scheduled. Sources prepped for those meetings say Tarantino would like Smith to star in the film, the script for which has been making the rounds in recent days to wide acclaim. No official offer has been made to Smith, and any deal would of course be subject to working out financials, which might be difficult given Smith's status as one of Hollywood's few sure-thing stars. Indeed, though Smith has been out of multiplexes since 2008’s Seven Pounds, he is still considered among the top two or three box-office draws worldwide. Smith is being teed up for the title role of Django, a freed slave who seeks to reunite with his slave wife, a journey that will see him team with a German bounty hunter to take down an evil plantation owner. Tarantino wrote the bounty hunter part with Waltz in mind, according to insiders. The German ends up training Django and helping him seek his wife. Jackson would play the house slave to the bad guy, Monsieur Calvin Candie. The slave is an expert manipulator and will face off with Django. Smith and his reps have received the screenplay, which could be a hot potato due to the themes of racism and the liberal use of the N-word. It's unclear whether Smith has read the script yet. The actor manages his image very carefully, but the part is heroic and could be iconic. And let’s not forget that Denzel Washington won his two Oscars playing characters who used the N-word. Tarantino is aiming for a fall shoot in the South, possibly in Louisiana, but the exact locale has not been determined. Last edited by Deberg_1990; 06-06-2012 at 05:05 PM.. |

I heard it was because tarantino refused to write up one of Smith's always-hilarious "aw hell naw" scenes.

GEEEZZZ it wasnt that bad. Just pure escapist summer movie crap that Hollywood produces every year. A few canned jokes, CGI and lots of shit getting blown up. There are a lot worse in this catagory than Independence day.

Biggest problem I had with Independance Day is isn't it hard enough to blow up 15 mile wide saucers without giving them God Mode shields?
Oh yeah, and destroying a mothership 1/4 the size of the Moon with a single tactical nuke |

The scene where Foxx and Pacino traded was brilliant.

I don't know about infinitely, but I do think he's the better actor.

That was Smith's finest performance in my book.

I like his performance in I Am Legend as well. He doesn't get the respect he deserves from that role because most people expected the movie to be better. I thought it failed due to the writing. Definitely not Will's performance, that's for sure.

He had no other actors to play off of for most of the film. That's tough.
