Django Unchained

[Stringer]

When I was reading it I didn't imagine Django with a beard but I like it. I wish we could get a shot of Dicaprio's look for this.

 

[Boom]

Huh?

 

[Blue Sugar]

The beard looks great! Fitting for a western slave.

 

[Boom]

Is there a new picture or something?

 

[Blue Sugar]

Only a pic of Jamie Foxx with an epic ruggy beard.

[Blue Sugar]

So glad Will Smith is not Django. Foxx is way more fitting in my opinion both in looks and as an actor.

 

[Boom]

Last I checked, Waltz was also sporting an epic beard.

 

[Boom]

Filming Begins at Evergreen Plantation

Several readers wrote in to tell me that the Django Unchained production has moved filming to Evergreen Plantation in Wallace, Louisiana, outside of New Orleans.

The National Park Service has a good description of Evergreen Plantation on their website:

Evergreen is significant not only because of the existence of its main building [pictured above] along River Road, but also because of the remains of the plantation complex. With two pigeonniers (structures used by upper-class French for housing pigeons), two garconieries (dwellings for a family’s young boys), a privy, a kitchen, a guesthouse, an overseer’s house, and a double row of 22 slave cabins, Evergreen is unique. It is one of only a handful of plantations that evoke what major plantations resembled in the antebellum period of America’s history.

Sounds like the perfect place to film Calvin Candie’s home.

According to the Evergreen Plantation’s official website, the plantation will be closed to due to filming on Februrary 23-24, and on Feburary 27 – March 9. Local readers should be aware that Highway 18 in front of the plantation will be closed from Feburary 27 – March 9.

Reader Kate mentioned in a previous comment that the upcoming movie Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter was filmed here last summer.

I don't think Smith and Foxx are that different of actors.

I was more excited when Idris Elba was rumored.

 

[Matt Mortem]

I'm not normally a Foxx fan, but I am glad it's him instead of Will Smith. If that bearded looks is what will be on screen, then I'm pleased

 

[Boom]

Please tell me this is what Waltz is going to look like.

Elba would have been ideal

i don't like Jaime Foxx at all. Will Smith, i think, would have done a good job.

hell, i would have preferred Chris Tucker over Jaime Foxx. wasn't Terrence Howard another guy that Tarantino offered the role?

 

[Mrs. Sawyer]

Are we still on this? Foxx has the lead role, end of story.

 

[Octoberist]

It's weird how there's a dislike for Foxx. I think it's a visceral hate for his public image back in the mid 2000's when he got into music and hung out with Kayne West?

 

[Boom]

He's alright. Just not my first choice.

But then again, this is Tarantino we're talking about. I'm sure Foxx will deliver.

 

[Octoberist]

My favorite role of his was in Collateral.

 

[SlamAdams]

I don't dislike Foxx, I think he'll do great in the role. Just the Elba rumor was hard to 1-up.

 

[Matt Mortem]

Please tell me this is what Waltz is going to look like.

I hope so. He looks like a Baus!

Yea it's strange. He's a great actor, this is undeniable. His misguided foray into cheesy RnB shouldn't effect peoples view of that.

Plus it's Tarantino we're talking about here. You don't get bad performances in Tarantino films.

 

[Thedudehimself]

How far are we away from a first trailer?

6 month? Or even more?

 

[Pink Ranger]

Plus it's Tarantino we're talking about here. You don't get bad performances in Tarantino films.

Lol, that's because even if a performance is bad, Tarantino tells us it's because it's "ironic and post-modernist" and we nod our heads and believe him like the hipster sheep we are.

 

[dark_b]

i dont have a problem with this but its true. he creates those worlds and characters where they are so different and sometimes over the top that its hard to find a bad perforamance.

Maybe he should've gotten the cheesy music out of his system before his acting career. Hey, it worked for Will.

Seriously though, outside of Death Proof who has actually had a bad performance?
