Following up last night’s peek, the first full-length trailer for Quentin Tarantino‘s Django Unchained has made its way online. Beginning with Christoph Waltz as bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz, we get to see how he gets teamed up with slave Jamie Foxx and their mission. Then there’s lots of footage of Leonardo DiCaprio, looking to be eating it up as slave master Calvin Candie. I’m loving Tarantino’s take on the spaghetti western, with his bright, vibrant colors and mix of violence (specially that shot of blood-spattered cotton). It all looks ridiculously fun and one can check it out below via Fandango.
Update: We’ve also got 138 stills from the trailer for your viewing pleasure.
Synopsis:
Set in the South two years before the Civil War, DJANGO UNCHAINED stars Academy Award®-winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award®-winner Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles – dead or alive.
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 (Kurt Russell) 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…
Django Unchained arrives on December 25th, 2012.
