AceShowbiz - After many rumors about the title of Quentin Tarantino's forthcoming movie, "Django Unchained", went viral, another speculation emerges. Recently, there have been reports hitting the web about plot details of the film.
An unnamed source told Shadow and Act about the title character. The insider said, "Django is a freed slave, who, under the tutelage of a German bounty hunter (played by Christopher Waltz the evil Nazi officer in "Inglourious Basterds") becomes a bad-ass bounty hunter himself, and after assisting Waltz in taking down some bad guys for profit, is helped by Waltz in tracking down his slave wife and liberating her from an evil plantation owner."
"And that doesn't even half begin to cover it!" the source continued. "This film deals with racism as I've rarely seen it handled in a Hollywood film. While it's 100 percent pure popcorn and revenge flick, it is pure genius in the way it takes on the evil slave owning south. Think of what he did with the Nazis in Inglorious and you'll get a sense of what he's doing with slave owners and slave overseers in this one."
Previously, Tarantino Archives has suggested that the upcoming film will be called "Django Unchained" by posting a script cover. The site also reported that the movie is inspired by 1966's movie "Django" from director Sergio Corbucci, as well as the 2007 Japanese remake "Sukiyaki Western Django", in which Tarantino appeared as a cameo.
"Django Unchained" has Stacey Sher and Pilar Savone team up to produce the film. Meanwhile, the release date is yet to be announced.
