\”Foxx is a better fit to be sure, but he can still be extruciatingly annoying at times.\”

Sigh….so true.

IDRIS ELBA por favor.

Anytime Kevin 🙂

After some digging i see that Jackson seems to be locked in but everyone is still just speculating that Waltz will be the German bounty hunter. Though the role definitely sounds written for him and I don\’t doubt he\’ll be cast.

I like The Wire as much as the next guy, but let\’s get one thing straight – You don\’t have to have a scar on your face to play a slave. Michael K. Williams is great, and he will continue to be great in other stuff, but he doesn\’t have the right look for Django. Casting the grizzled, scarred, haunted Williams as Django is like casting Stallone as a no-nonsense tough-guy – it\’s TOO OBVIOUS.

Tucker is an inspired choice because you don\’t expect much from him, and that\’s where roles of a lifetime are born.

Oli, I just went in and made that fix — but yeah, it read a little odd before. All good now — thanks Nik.

\”And if Foxx doesn’t take the part of Django, we’d like to remind everyone that Michael K. Williams is available.\”

What typo?

Michael K. Williams for the role of Calvin Candie? That\’s a helluva typo 😉

But yea, no matter how much I\’d love to see a Michael K Williams or an Idris Elba in a role like this, it looks like the studios are gunning for a huge star and after Smith (thankfully) seems to have backed out, they\’re going for the next big thing. Foxx is a better fit to be sure, but he can still be extruciatingly annoying at times. Thought with QT\’s words and direction, I\’m sure he\’ll give his best performance after Ray.

Are Waltz and Jackson 100% locked in?
