A new trailer for writer/director Quentin Tarantino’s new film Django Unchained has been released. This new Django trailer is way more fun than a movie about slavery has any right to be. We get to see a lot more of Broomhilda (Kerry Washington) and her treatment at the hands of Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio). We get some sage advice from Samuel L. Jackson’s character, Stephen, and a bit of historical postulating from DiCaprio himself. Why, we even get our first look at funnyman Jonah Hill in a somewhat surprising role!
Hit the jump to watch the trailer. Adult supervision is required. The film also stars Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, M.C. Gainey, Walton Goggins, Garrett Dillahunt, Dennis Christopher, Gerald McRaney, Laura Cayouette, Don Johnson, and Tom Savini. Django Unchained opens on December 25th.

Here’s the synopsis for Django Unchained:
Set in the South two years before the Civil War, “Django Unchained” stars Academy Award®-winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award®-winner Christoph Waltz). 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), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago.
Django and Schultz’s search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Academy Award®-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of “Candyland,” an infamous plantation where slaves are groomed by trainer Ace Woody (Kurt Russell) to battle each other for sport. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Academy Award®-nominee Samuel L. Jackson), 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…
Written and directed by Academy Award®-winner Quentin Tarantino, DJANGO UNCHAINED is produced by Stacey Sher, Pilar Savone and Reginald Hudlin. The executive producers are Harvey and Bob Weinstein, Michael Shamberg, Shannon McIntosh, and James Skotchdopole. DJANGO UNCHAINED will be released in the U.S. on December 25, 2012, and internationally by Sony Pictures Releasing International.
Christmas plans made.
*stops salivating* I can’t wait for Christmas! I feel like a little kid!
Eh it still looks like it’s lampooning itself way too much. And now there’s Jonah Hill too..
When I heard about the project I imagined it sam-peckinpah-wild-bunch-type-dark-and-tough not really this zany.?
Just wondering if Kurt Russell still involved with the project? I heard he’s not.
can’t wait for the movie to come out!
WOWSERS !!!! Leo seems electric , what the hell more does he have to do to get a damn oscar ?
Weird if he does , it will be as supporting after a career of leading man roles.
Looks fan-freakin-tastic! Can’t wait for this film – Tarantino at it again!
DiCaprio’s line at 1:35 is hilarious, hahahaha
Watching this trailer makes me think that QT should have been the one to direct a proper big-budget ‘Judge Dredd’ movie adaptation (had the 1995 mess not happened); the bloody violence, the black humor, the socio-political satire, the big colorful characters, it would have been right up his alley, oh well, I can dream…
It looks fantastic, as per usual Tarantino. Had a big grin the entire time I watching the trailer.
I think my Christmas plans are made.
Next tarantino film is gonna have some fun with the holocaust.
@Alex-mansy sure and he could call it Inglorious Basterds

Kill Bill, Inglorious Basterds. This looks like more of the same. Revenge revenge revenge violence violence violence blood spatter blood spatter blood spatter rape rape rape cutsey hipsterism cutsey hipsterism cutsey hipsterism. Is this all Tarantino knows how to do? Tiresome.
