Some stills and quotes from the OTHER OTHER OTHER OTHER most-anticipated film of the year.
post #2 of 133

Looks great... especially Leo.

post #3 of 133

This is looking and sounding outstanding so far. Be great to see Leo finally bag an Oscar for what's looking like a pretty out there role for him.

I just started reading this script, and it's blowing me away. This has jumped to the top of my can't-wait-for-it list, now that Avengers is days away. Great year for movies.

post #5 of 133

yep, I'm sold.  Leo looks positively evil in that pic.

post #6 of 133

What a great look for the film. Love the way DiCaprio looks and Waltz and Django's cool green jacket. This will be a nice treat for Christmas.

post #7 of 133

Holy shit, I don't know what I was expecting the film to actually look like, but it certainly wasn't that. I love it.

 

Quick question: who's on editor duty now that Sally Menke left us far too soon? Considering she was such a great fit for Tarantino, I have to wonder who can be her equal.

post #8 of 133

I'm already really dreading what DiCaprio is going to do with that hammer.  

post #9 of 133

Yeah, home renovations can be a nightmare.

post #10 of 133

Been reading news about this one for a while, but proof that this is being filmed is all so sureal.

post #11 of 133

I... this... it...

 

...just...

 

 

....fuck, yes.

post #12 of 133

So, great cast, director coming off a huge success with a similar, yet different, project, and everyone's read the script and I've heard exactly zero negative things about it. I want to see this more than any Batman/Avengers/Hobbit combination you can imagine.

post #13 of 133

Take the Hobbit away from that and you have my feeling down exactly.

post #14 of 133

So the script implies that Django's jacket and look was heavily inspired by a specific character(which is VERY Tarintino), can any body help me out with a screen cap for comparisons sake?

post #15 of 133

Here's the Django photo:

The only comparison I've been hearing about is one to Bonanza

In the script his bounty hunter outfit is meant to look a little like Little Joe Cartwright and Elvis in Flaming Star.

Jamie Foxx has long been the least interesting major role casting for me, but he looks really cool there.
post #18 of 133

Maybe it's the facial hair and it's probably Tarantino's intention but I'm getting major Fred Williamson vibes from him.

Absolute agreement.

Recent comments from The Telegraph made by Jackson on Django Unchained

 

 

Quote:

I ask Jackson if it is emotional playing a slave. “It’s an eerie sort of thing. When I went to the set for the first time we pulled up to this huge cotton field and there were extras picking cotton and white guys sitting on horses. It was such a stark picture.” He won’t go into details about the plot but it’s reportedly violent and shocking. “Hopefully people will see past [that] and understand they’re watching a movie about heroism and redemption.” How, I wonder, will Jackson’s friend Spike Lee view the movie? The director has criticised white film-makers in the past for interpreting the black experience. “I’m sure he’ll have some outcry,” he laughs

 

Jackson is the one I'm most interested in seeing. He hasn't been gfiven this kind of material to work with in a long time. Also curious to see what he looks like. He posted a photo of himself recently being fitted for a wig. I wouldn't be surprised if he looks something like this:

post #21 of 133

Jacksons character is definitely really interesting, a radical department from his common image.

 

Thanks for the screen caps guys.  I think Foxx looks GREAT and I'm confident he'll do a great job.  He killed it in Ray, Miami Vice, even Horrible Bosses.  He's a real talent. 

post #22 of 133

Loving the look of the film and yeah, Leo rocks that pointy goatee very well. Loving the costume design. Having read half the script and made myself stop because I was enjoying it too much to spoil opening day, all I can say is FUCK YES.

post #23 of 133

Jackson is in Danny Glover in Color Purple mode here.

post #24 of 133

Although wide shots of desserts are a common motif in Spaghetti Westerns, Corbucci and others often used a Southern Gothic look. Velvet suits, crystal goblets and a decadent opulence for the bad guys.

There is a scene in DU in a whorehouse (not exactly a whorehouse but I don't want to spoil it). I think that scene is going to pop some eyballs on the screen.

I live across a bar in New Orleans that the crew for Unchained frequent at night. It is indeed filming. Boy is it filming.

I'm just saying.

 

post #26 of 133

I need this and Prometheus in front of me soon before I completely lose it. Holy shit. Between those two, Cabin in the Woods, and (if the cinema gods smile on me and some theater near me will just PLAY the fucking thing already) The Raid, then I gotta concur that this is shaping up to be a pretty sick year for films.

 

Dumb question, but has DiCaprio ever done a straight up, out-and-out VILLAIN role before ever? I feel like something should be springing to mind, but I got nothing.

post #27 of 133

Nope. Nice guys or crazy nice guys all the way.

 

Also, holy fuck DiCaprio produced Orphan?! That makes me love him even more.

post #28 of 133
He was a bad guy of sorts in the Man in the Iron Mask. It should have been cooler than it was, like the rest of the movie.

I honestly can't say what performance of the four major players I'm most excited to see. This feels like Tarantino's year to me.
post #29 of 133

 I'm glad that Waltz isn't a villain. While he was an outstanding one in Inglorious Basterds, I don't want to see him type casted as one.

post #30 of 133

He's basically the anti Hans Landa in this.

post #31 of 133

Considering he's a bounty hunter who teams up with a black friend to help assault an evil institution, maybe this is the movie he should have been named Hans Landa.

post #32 of 133

I dunno...  Dr. King Schultz?  That's pretty pimp.

That would be Fred Raskin.  Here's a partial resume...

 

Assistant Editor:

- Hard Eight (1996)

- Boogie Nights (1997)

- Better Luck Tomorrow (2002)

- Insomnia (2002)

- Punch-Drunk Love (2002)

- Kill Bill: Volume One (2003)

- Kill Bill: Volume Two (2004)

 

Editor:

- Annapolis (2006)

- The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift (2006)

- Fast & Furious (2009)

- Fast Five (2011)

- Django Unchained (2012)

 

 

Seems to be Justin Lin's go-to guy and previously a regular for Paul Thomas Anderson.  Quentin likes to work with the same people whenever possible, so I'm not surprised he brought in someone who worked under Menke for him at one point.

post #34 of 133

That's a pretty solid resume, methinks, although Annapolis still holds as one of the most purely boring movies I've ever seen. That was more the fault of the screenplay, though. I think we're in good hands.

post #35 of 133

The fact that he worked under Menke for Kill Bill (surely, one of the most daunting tasks an editor has pulled off in recent memory) gives me a whole heap of reassurance.

post #36 of 133

Ya know, as a guy who grew up watching westerns, I am REALLY excited for this one. One of my favorite directors tackling one of my favorite genres is really something special for me.

post #37 of 133

Trailer is out. Trailer is awesome. You could have guessed that.

post #38 of 133

and it's been taken down...until 4:30 tonight PST.

post #39 of 133

4:30AM or PM? 

post #40 of 133

PM.

 

So about 70 minutes.... on my mark. GO.

post #41 of 133

I just watched it here.  Is that the right trailer?

post #42 of 133

Yeah, it's the right trailer.

 

I thought the trailer was kind of bad. It starts off strong, but "The Big Payback" kind of kills it for me.

post #47 of 133

If it was just the shot of the blood splatter on the cotton followed by A FILM BY QUENTIN TARANTINO, that would have been enough to sell me. But HOLY SHIT the rest of it!!!!!

MAN, YOU JUST CAN'T NOT SPREAD YOUR HATE OVER THE INTERNETS.

 

YOU...YOU...HATER!!!

 

Just watched the trailer; it's so undeniably Quentin Tarantino, I had a smile on my face the entire length of the trailer.
