Jamie Foxx lands Quentin Tarantino=?UTF-8?B?4oCZ?=s Django Unchained

*Jamie Foxx has landed the lead role in Quentin Tarantino’s
_Django Unchained_.*

Being touted as a ‘Southern’, _Unchained_ will reportedly
play with western movie tropes and relocate them to the Deep South.

Foxx will play a freed slave who attempts to save his lover from a
malicious plantation owner (Leonardo DiCaprio).

He’s aided in that quest by a German bounty hunter (Christoph
Waltz).

Previously, Tarantino offered the slave role to Will Smith, who
graciously turned it down. After meeting with Idris Elba, Terrence
Howard and Chris Tucker, Tarantino finally settled on Foxx.

Though it's disappointing that neither Smith nor Elba will get to
tackle the role, Foxx is a fine replacement.

_Django Unchained_ opens 25 December 2012.
