Yeah, I know, I know, but I want him in the role.

let\’s hope they find someone fresh and comparable to a young Woody Strode as the lead (and Fred Williamson better have an awesome cameo!).

also I guess Morricone is pretty much a done deal.

And@hank, considering Inglourious was a ripped-off title and film plot redone to suit his own purposes and Django Unchained, sounds like it\’s once again using an existing film for Tarantino to riff on and rethink, maybe his IS in a creative rut considering his hasn\’t written an original idea since Kill Bill (and even then obviously Tarantino\’s films are like mash-ups of other ideas or blatant thefts from other films — City Of Fire is liberally stolen from for Resevoir Dogs). Let\’s not forget if you\’ve ever read any Tarantino bios, he basically took an unfinished Roger Avary script to write True Romance and he tried to bilk Avary\’s credit for Pulp Fiction after he himself had lifted Avary\’s short film \”Pandemonium Reigns\”and incorporated it into Fiction.

So yeah, no question, the dude can write his ass off, but his ideas aren\’t the most original in the whole world and frankly, Django Unchained sounds like Inglourious Basterds all over again, but instead of the jews getting revenge — his only theme it seems — on the nazis, its the slaves getting revenge on their masters.

It\’s an idea ripe for commentary on racism in America, but lord knows, Inglorious had zero commentary on anti-semitism, or the rank evils of Nazism or their deplorable ideas. It was a revenge B-movie and that\’s it. So think about it before you open your mouth.

It\’s completely accurate. I\’m reading the script now.

I prefer someone like Chiwetel Ejiofor, Anthony Mackie or even Forrest Whitaker (he might be too old, though)

Ive had goodbye uncle tom for a long time seems like nows the time to watch it.

Did you not watch the climax of Inglourious Basterds that very explicitly questions the futility and morality of using cinema as a way to play out revenge fantasies? There\’s a lot going on in that movie. It\’s not about how the ideas got there that led to genocide but how the subjugated people react and their thirst for revenge.

This is how it will be once I finally achieve my goal of becomming undisputed king of the entire universe. Meanwhiles, we\’ll just go with QT\’s picks.
