Over the weekend a twitpic of the title page of Quentin Tarantino‘s latest script was put out to the world [see below]. We know that Tarantino hand write the titles on the first page of his script and is all about homage. There’s the classic 1966 spaghetti western called Django that starred Franco Nero. The same Franco Nero who was rumoured to be in this movie when we last spoke of it months back.
There is confirmation people! The spaghetti western is titled Django Unchained and seeing how Franco Nero talked about his role in February, the project is most likely tied to 1966′s Django. Indiewire also claims to have read the script and provide the following description:
“Django is a freed slave, who, under the tutelage of a German bounty hunter (played by Christoph Waltz) becomes a bad-ass bounty hunter himself, and after assisting Waltz in taking down some bad guys for profit, is helped by Waltz in tracking down his slave wife and liberating her from an evil plantation owner.”
Deadline reports Tarantino has a “top-shelf” cast in mind for Django Unchained and production will start in late summer or fall depending on the cast he wants.
The Quentin Tarantino Archives suggest the film is also tied to the Takashi Miike movie Sukiyaki Western Django, which Tarantino acted in, check it out:
