Jamie Foxx is to play the titular hero in Quentin Tarantino’s hotly anticipated Western, Django Unchained.
Tarantino reportedly met with Wild Wild West's Will Smith and Thor's Idris Elba before settling on Jamie Foxx for the starring role.
And while he was being officially announced as the title star, Foxx let slip that Leonardo DiCaprio - long rumored, never confirmed - will be appearing in QT's slavery epic.
Asked what he was most excited about, Foxx said: “I think, just to be able to work with Quentin Tarantino, Samuel L Jackson, and Leonardo DiCaprio, and to be able to tell a story that needs to be told.”
He added “If you are a fan of Inglourious Basterds, I mean, you know…it’s just amazing. It should be amazing.”
Foxx's Django will swear revenge against DiCaprio's insidious plantation owner after he kidnaps his wife.
Christoph Waltz is also rumored to play Django’s bounty hunter companion but no confirmation has been made as of yet.

jamie foxx is actually talent, get over it. he may not have the best personality or opinions but the guy's got skill.
It probably did in some isolated cases.
whitepeople feel uncomfortable and ashamed about the topic of slavery. It will be another epic revenge film.Jamie Foxx will be fine. He did well in Ray and Collateral Damage if you need examples.
hopefully not Jamie's.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
(I LOVE JAMIE) BUT I REALLY WANTED WILL OR IDRIS!!!!!
lol I love that that's the movie they used to identify him with as if he even needs an identifier anyway.
may as well have picked 'hitch' or st
^Sounds better
its sorta amazing when you think about it.
As for female lead either Tarji P. Henson or Tika Sumpter please. Thanks.
He makes the same serious face in every movie. I can't with him.
