The 'Django Unchained' Trailer is Finally Here...and It is Glorious

by Jim Kopetz

This writer's most anticipated film of the year gets a trailer. And boy it is intoxicating.

I read the script for Django Unchained some time ago. There was no doubt about it, Tarantino had written a masterpiece. I'm a rarity when it comes to Tarantino's oeuvre. Most of his fans still put Pulp Fiction at the top of the list, maybe Reservoir Dogs. I believe his greatest works to be Inglourious Basterds and Jackie Brown. But this one is going to top it. I can feel it deep in my gonads.

Jamie Foxx was a cause for concern originally. I couldn't see him in the role of a slave. He's too...modern. But the trailer shows his talent and Django is a hell of a character. Christoph Waltz is back as Hans Landa, but in a different universe where his name is King and he is on the side of good. But for me, the shot that sold the whole package was the zoom in on DiCaprio as Calvin Candie:

Hot damn what a shot! And the soundtrack! Even the tagline: "Django is off the chain." This trailer epitomizes everything I love about dear Quentin.

Mark my words...this will be Tarantino's greatest film to date. I can't wait.
