The teaser trailer for the slavery-era pulp western Django Unchained [DJANG] has appeared online. It's everything you've come to expect from writer-director Quentin Tarantino [QTARA] and more.
Set in the South two years before the Civil War, DJANGO UNCHAINED stars Jamie Foxx [JFOXX] as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz [CWALT]). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles - dead or alive.
Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South's most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington [KWASH]), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago.
Django and Schultz's search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio [LDCAP]), the proprietor of "Candyland," an infamous plantation where slaves are groomed by trainer Ace Woody to battle each other for sport. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen, Candie's trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival...
