Director: Quentin Tarantino
Synopsis
Is Quentin Tarantino destined to become the new Woody Allen, endlessly churning out his own brand of idiosyncratic, star-studded action-comedies? His new film takes place in the time of American slavery, but, like it’s wartime predecessor ‘Inglourious Basterds’ will no doubt contain the same blend of endless, intricate dialogue scenes, sudden violence and in-jokey movie references as every other Tarantino movie. ‘Django Unchained’ was set to star Will Smith as the titular slave-turned-bounty hunter, but after he withdrew the role passed to Jamie Foxx. He joins Tarantino alumni Samuel L Jackson, Kurt Russell and Christoph Waltz, plus new boy Leonardo DiCaprio, for what could still be a return to form for the ultimate fanboy director.
