Elena Vnorovscaia / Chişinău / Moldova.ORG / -- Kevin Costner is about to join the cast of Quentin Tarantino‘s upcoming “Django Unchained”. It is also known that Costner joins previously announced Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson and Leonardo DiCaprio.
The film is set in the XIX century. The main character is Foxx who is on board to play Django, who escaped from his master, sadistic Calvin Candy. Django is liberated by a German dentist-turned-bounty hunter, played by Waltz, and taught the tricks of the trade by his mentor.
Runaway slave, however, decides to return to save his wife. In order to do it he needs to get past the villainous ranch owner Calvin Candy, played by DiCaprio.
Costner was offered the role of Ace Woody - sadistic-manager who makes slaves of men.
Candie runs Candyland, a despicable club and plantation in Mississippi where female slaves are exploited as sex objects and males are pitted against each other in death matches. He is a slave’s worst nightmare, and that is where Django’s wife Broomhilda is an abused slave.
In the words of Quentin Tarantino, the film will be in the spirit of spaghetti Westerns, Sergio Lyon. Filming should start in autumn 2011.
Tarantino’s last work was "Inglorious Bastards" which appeared in 2009. The leading roles were played by Brad Pitt, Christoph Waltz, Melanie Laurent, Eli Roth, Michael Fassbender.
