Christmas 2012 folks, I'm already counting down the days (and not because I believe it will be the end of the world). If you're a reader of this blog, then you probably know I am an avid fan of everything Quentin Tarantino does. The man has yet to make a film that falls short of "masterpiece" in my book, making him without a doubt my all-time favorite director. This is why I wait with baited breath for his next release, "Django Unchained", a spaghetti "Southern" about an escaped slave who teams up with a bounty hunter to free his wife and take revenge on her slave holder. We already know that Tarantino alum Christoph Waltz and Samuel L. Jackson are singed up for the film and it looks more and more like Leonardo DiCaprio will be playing the part of the film's villain (which is extremely exciting for me, seeing as DiCaprio is my favorite working actor). The lead role of Django is still up for grabs, but it looks like original frontrunner Will Smith will not be taking on the controversial role. Right now, the three names being floated around are Jaime Foxx, Chris Tucker, and Idris Elba (who created the very memorable character Stringer Bell on the greatest dramatic television show ever, "The Wire"). Whoever Tarantino picks, at least now we know when we will get to see the finished product, Christmas 2012. While I had wished it would be coming out a little sooner than that, I just happy to get a release date. It looks like in the year 2012, Christmas will be the best day of the year for reasons that has absolutely nothing to do with the holiday.
