Some very styley character posters have been released for Quentin Tarantino‘s new cinematic opus Django Unchained. The 5 poster set features the film’s lead characters: Jamie Foxx as Django, Christoph Waltz as Dr King Schultz, Kerry Washington as Django’s wife Broomhilda von Shaft, Samuel L. Jackson as the slave Stephen, and Leonardo DiCaprio as plantation owner Calvin Candie.
Django is a slave who’s freed by Dr. Schultz, a bounty hunter. Schultz recruits Django to help him find the notorious Brittle Brothers – so he can collect his bounty. Django agrees… on the condition Schultz helps rescue his wife from the clutches of the sadistic Calvin Candie.
The film reunites Tarantino with the sensational Christoph Waltz (who gave a spellbinding turn as Col. Hans Lander in Inglorious Bastards) and ‘the man himself’ Samuel L. Jackson – who’s featured in several Tarantino creations.
Here’s the 5 poster set:
Which character do you think will steal the show? – my money’s on DiCaprio.
Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South’s most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago. Django and Schultz’s search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Academy Award-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of “Candyland,” an infamous plantation where slaves are groomed by trainer Ace Woody to battle each other for sport. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Academy Award-nominee Samuel L. Jackson), Candie’s trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival… Directed by Quentin Tarantino, the film stars Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, Don Johnson, Walton Goggins, Bruce Dern, James Russo, Franco Nero, James Remar, and Kiwi Zoe Bell.
Tarantino’s latest creation hits Kiwi screens on January 24, 2013.
