Here’s the first look from The Weinstein Company at Django Unchained, Quentin Tarantino’s drama about a slave who’s freed by a bounty hunter and tries to get back to his wife. In his way are some bad, bad people, including a plantation owner who exploits female slaves for prostitution and male slaves for fight-to-the-death matches. Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz and Kerry Washington star.

The movie will be good.
But Weinstein Co creative marketing creative just sucks. New creative people please. They are just emulating the greatness of past campaigns here.
If it ain’t broke…
EXACTLY!! Which is why this needs fixed ASAP!
This looks HOT.
Do we need more race baiting in theaters? What happens when the messiness of the Trayvon case and the election turn this into another Neighborhood Watch?
Can a film look more clichéd? Raise your hand if you have seen this crap before.
I have an idea. Do a movie about race-baiting politicians, the NAACP, the teachers unions and exploitative film and record producers who conspire to exploit the black community. Their actions have done more damage than all the southern plantation owners of yore.
The collective effect of their “messages” is so insidious you would almost have to believe it is by design. No other group of individuals have done more to subjugate the black community.
Are you worried the film will offend plantation masters? Or that it’ll encite crimes against slave owners? The film is anti-human trafficking. That’s a good thing, right?
All you have to do is recognize the Alabama Hills in the first scene – in California’s Owen’s Valley, so often used in Hollywood movies that there’s actually a museum there, on all the movies filmed in that location – to realize that this movie is more of an ahistorical fever dream than anything to be taken seriously. And why are there slaves in Rocky Mountain states, or are we supposed to think those huge snowclad mountains are the Appalachians?
I was actually expecting something wilder and more fun than this trailer implies. Maybe it’s just not a good trailer?
Quentin Tarantino making a movie about slavery? This is bound to have the most n-words ever uttered in a feature film, right?
He left most of them in the scene DESCRIPTIONS in the script.
Pretty sad.
I wonder how many movies Tarantino stole from this time. Every Western?
“Good artists borrow. Great artists steal”
Well…DJANGO, to start. This movie is already a remake with a color adjustment.
Thats why the actor for the ‘original’ is asking jamie foxx his name in this trailor…
Someday, I hope to be cool enough to get Quentin Tarantino. Clearly, I am not there yet.
damn we have to wait 6 freaking months for this? there should be a law that u can only release movie trailers 1 month ahead of release.
I’m a little disappointed. Christoph’s character reminds me of Inglorious Basterds. I hate that he seems to be typecasted. Not sure if I’m into this. I like Quentin and most of his films. I also love a Western. So maybe the next trailer will sell me.
Have to say I don’t like Leo much. So he is not the selling point for me at all.
Yeah disappointed too. The story seems threadbare, and there’s barely a sign of the usually inventive dialogue. Hoping the trailer isn’t doing it justice, but this looks more in the style-over-substance mode of Kill Bill than the far richer Basterds.
I thought this movies release date had been changed. Or am I thinking of Quentin’s next movie?
Wow, it looks really really bad. It’s sad that in the 20 years since Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino has not evolved at all. His pulpy style and machine gun dialog just seems childish for a director nearing 50.
Well said, Banjo. He hasn’t grown or deepened at all. This guy’s films are so puerile that it is pathetic he is so overpraised. Critics like him because he makes the sort of movies where they can use their trivial pursuit, film school knowledge of other better movies (“he’s referencing this movie here and this director there and, oh, that’s Franco Nero who was in the original movie Django, blah blah nerd critic trivia blah”). The only thing more infantile than his movies are the Taranteenybopper fanboys who try to defend him.
Nice touch with Franco Nero asking Jamie Fox his name because………well look it up youngsters.
Took a few watchings, but I’m sold.
I love Tarantino but this trailer did nothing for me, unlike the superior and far more exciting Inglorious Bastards trailer. Also, there’s something about the look of this film that feels tacky. Perhaps it’s the way the colors pop out.
This movie will KILL!!! I know what I’m seeing on Christmas.
Do you people not like movies??? This looks awesome.
I agree, something feels like it’s Quentin doing an imitation of Quentin. Just feels not as fresh as his other ideas. But maybe it’s just the trailer…I have hope.
Tarantino gets to use the word racists love to use but rail against those who use its alliteration. Great. When are you untalented emotionally stunted boy/men going be done worshiping this hack thief?
This looks good except for Jaime Foxx. Quentin is chasing Oscar, but Foxx’s Oscar was a fluke. People mistook his impression of Ray Charles as acting, but it was nothing but the stuff of Vegas comedians.
Foxx is the best thing about this movie; Waitz and Foxx played the film straight and it works. Foxx was terrific in Ray.
The brief shot of the blood hitting the cotton was great… but that tagline is the definition of tacky… and yes, I know who we’re dealing with here…
sigh… A bunch of debbie downers here. A slave movie that is a Western. Give QT credit for having an independent thought… What do you people do… Criticize? Can you make money on that? no! Go jerk yourself an idea… Then let’s see how things work out for you. If you read this script, you would see how brilliant it truly is. If not, go watch MIB2.
Now to TWC and your comments about trailers and marketing… Harvey is the best at what he does. Get ready for better things with this film. If you don’t have anything nice to say, STFU.
Huh? What do you think the comments are for other than to, umm, comment about the trailer. Some of the above comments are right: this is not an elegantly-edited trailer. Why does it dedicate nearly a minute to one freakin’ scene?
Signed – Quentin’s Mom
This might be the movie that dooms Leo and Christoph Waltz’s careers. Christoph is proving that he is one-note, and Leo’s career has run far too long. He’s overrated.
LOL, you MUST be joking!
Roger you’re the same clown who was saying Denzel’s career is over.
Stop trolling.
can.not.wait.
I didn’t much like the long rambling script but this trailer is excellent. And Franco Nero! Come on, you can’t beat that. He’s still fine.
CAN’T WAIT!
Hey Go Girl,
Just because you have “an independent idea” doesn’t mean it’s a “good idea”. Maybe I don’t want to make money off slavery. Yeah so clever “off the chain”. Tacky. Awful trailer. And I should STFU? No, you should GO F yourself.
