Quentin Tarantino's script for Django Unchained, a film that "will pay homage to Italian director Sergio Corbucci's original "Django" and Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike's "Sukiyaki Western Django,"" is finished with filming set to begin this year or in early 2012.
Inglourious Basterds fans will be thrilled to hear that Christoph Waltz, who had an Oscar-winning turn as Col. Hans Landa in Basterds, will be part of the cast of Django.
According to WME, the film is a "[Western] whose lead character is a former slave who is in league with Waltz to save his wife from an evil plantation owner." No word yet on who may play the lead.
Django will be Tarantino's latest genre effort. The eccentric director has expressed interest in making films in all of his favourite genres with a Western being the latest. In the coming years he plans to make a third Kill Bill installation, completing the trilogy, involving Vernita Green's daughter Nikka seeking revenge on Kiddo, as well as a gangster film set in depression era US.
