The first official pictures from Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming film, Django Unchained, have surfaced!
Django Unchained stars Leonardo DiCaprio, Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Kerry Washington, and Samuel L. Jackson. Below you can see DiCaprio as the villain Calvin Candie, and Waltz as a German bounty hunter with Foxx as a freed slave.
EW provides a synopsis of the film, as well as the pictures:
After being sent to a chain gang after rebelling against his owners, Django is recruited by a German bounty hunter (Inglorious Basterd’s Oscar-winner Christoph Waltz, below, with Foxx) to help him settle an old score. Django has information that Waltz’s Dr. King Schultz needs, so the German mercenary liberates the slave and promises that if he helps him kill the Brittle Brothers, Django’s old owners, he’ll make it worth his while. “He says, ‘I’ll kill ‘em, and you’ll get some money and be on your way as a free man,’” Foxx says.
Along the way, the duo end up crossing paths with Leonardo DiCaprio’s hammer-wielding character, a deranged plantation owner named Calvin Candie, who likes to make his toughest slaves fight to the death in gladiatorial combat. “Candie is a business man who owns a plantation called Candie Land, and that’s where my wife ends up being,” Foxx says. To find her, “we have to get in good with Candy, by me playing a valet for Christoph’s character.”
