As part of their preview feature on Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino's 'Southern', Entertainment Weekly have premiered the first official promotional shots from the film.
The first of these introduces Christoph Waltz as Dr. King Schulz, the German dentist-cum-mercenary, and Jamie Foxx as Django, the slave that Schulz liberates as part of his revenge plan.
Django is, as the title would suggest, the film's lead character. EW quite Foxx as saying:
All Django wants to do is [rescue] his wife. He's not trying to cure or solve slavery. He just wants to get his life back.
This scene appears to have been shot on the standing set also used for Deadwood, the Santa Clarita Melody Ranch. We previously ran some good images of the set ' just without any actors in them.
In the second image we have Leonardo Di Caprio as Calvin Candie, a plantation owner who pits slave against slave in brutal death matches. He is one of the major obstacles in the path of Schulz and Django. On paper at least, Candie comes across as rather disturbed and this image seems to tap just a little of that.
I'll be very interested to how Kerry Washington looks as Broomhilda, Django's wife, and what look they've given Samuel L. Jackson for his role as Stephen, Candie's manipulative house slave.
Django Unchained will be released in the US on Christmas day. For the rest of the world, the release date is officially 'soon.'
Which essentially means at, around or later than in the US. Not so soon at all.
