Djamgo Unchained

Djamgo Unchained what is it not sure entirely but apparently its writer/director Quentin Tarentino's next project. This is basically his tip of the hat to the old Spaghetti Westerns. The actor who is at the top of his list to play the role of the title character.....Will Smith.

That's right he wants Agent J to play the lead in his movie.You know who else has been linked to this movie. Well the usual suspects in a Tarantino movie i.e. Christoph Waltz who will be playing the role of a Germain Bounty hunter, and Sam Jackson who will be playing the role of the house servant of the main antagonist
Monsieur Calvin Candie who doesn't have an actor yet.

The basis of the movie is Djamgo(Will Smith) who is a freed slave seeks to reunite with his wife and teams up and gets training from the German Bounty to take down the evil plantation owner.

Variety is reporting
somewhat contradictorily report that Smith HAS been informally offered the role and is interested, apparently willing to forgo his usual mammoth fee too. They also say that both Bradd Pitt and Leonardo Dicaprio turned down roles in the movie.

No news on when it will be released or when filming will begin. All that is known is that the last draft was dated April 26 2011.
