This has been an amazing week for movie premieres already. Les Miserables screened for critics to astounding response, and last night saw the debut of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. This weekend Quentin Tarantino is finally going to be screening his slavery-era spaghetti Western, Django Unchained, and he's been working down to the wire in the editing room to get it finished. But now the film is locked and we've got info on the soundtrack plus the final trailer.
There's a little bit of new footage here, but for the most part it's a lot of what we've already seen and with much the same hyper violent, flashy style we expect from Tarantino. Jamie Foxx plays Django, a slave freed by a German bounty(Christoph Waltz) to take on an evil plantation owner played by Leonardo DiCaprio. There was a lot of talk early on that DiCaprio may get the same Oscar attention that Waltz earned for Inglourious Basterds, so we'll know in a matter of days whether his performance measures up or not. As for the soundtrack? Well, you've got James Brown, 2Pac, John Legend, composer Ennio Morricone, and Jim Croce. Tarantino has never been afraid to go bold with his music choices, and this one's no different.
Django Unchained opens on Christmas Day. You can check out the trailer plus the track listing for the soundtrack below....
