quote

October 11, 2011 - Variety reports that Don Johnson has been cast in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained. The former "Miami Vice" star will be joining Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx (who played Ricardo Tubbs in the Miami Vice movie), Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Gerald McRaney, Dennis Christopher, Kurt Russell, Laura Cayouette and M.C. Gainey in the December 25, 2012 release.

In the film, Django (Foxx) is a freed slave, who under the tutelage of a German bounty hunter (Waltz) becomes a badass bounty hunter himself. After assisting Waltz on taking down some bad guys for profit, he is in turn assisted by Waltz in tracking down his slave wife and liberating her from an evil plantation owner (DiCaprio).

Johnson will play a plantation owner named Spencer Bennett.

Filming is set to start in November. The Weinstein Company will distribute domestically and Sony Pictures overseas.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt in Talks for Django Unchained

October 21, 2011 - Following the news this morning that his Premium Rush has been moved from January to August of next year, comes word from Variety that Joseph Gordon-Levitt is in talks to join the cast of Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained.

Gordon-Levitt, who can also be seen in The Dark Knight Rises next year, would be reuniting with his Inception co-star Leonardo DiCaprio, as well as star opposite Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Gerald McRaney, Dennis Christopher, Kurt Russell, Laura Cayouette, M.C. Gainey and Don Johnson.

Tarantino is set to start shooting Django Unchained in New Orleans in January for a December 25, 2012 release.

Haven't seen anything to debunk this, so I hope this goes through. Would add tremendously to the already awesome cast.

I've just heard about this film and can't wait. Will be like Inglourious Basterds but instead of Jews getting revenge it will be blacks getting revenge.

That almost didn't even look like Jamie Foxx there. Had to do a double take.

Sacha Baron Cohen and Kurt Russell have left the building.

No big deal. We might now be missinng out on some classic Tarantino one-scene wonders though.

Trailer's scheduled to 'premiere' at such and such tonight, but there's already various leaked versions that are all too easy to find, like this one.

This will be a lot of fun. I'm a little worried Foxx will be phoning it in compared to his co-stars, though it'd be kind of hard to go more over the top than this DiCaprio performance looks.
