Al Comic Con di San Diego, Quentin tarantino ha presentato un montato di ben 8 minuti tratto dal suo nuovo film Django Unchained, con Jamie Foxx, Leonardo di Caprio, Christoph Waltz, Kerry Washington e Don Johnson.
Secondo i report di coloro che erano in sala, il filmato è stato di grtan lunga il più applaudito tra quelli presentati alla Sala H.
Tarantino ed i suoi attori hanno poi risposto alle domande dei fans presenti.
Eccone alcuni estratti:
QT: I’ve always wanted to do a western. Spaghetti westerns have always been my favorite. The violence, the surrealism, the cool music and all that stuff. The initial germ of the whole idea was a slave who becomes a bounty hunter and then goes after overseers who are hiding out on plantations.
JF: Getting there was really a journey, QT at the beginning of this process, he pulled me aside and said, ‘I’m worried that you can’t get to that slave.’ What he was saying was, you live your life as Jamie Foxx, this celebrity, how do you now strip everything away and get to the slave? The most important thing was letting everything go because we all have egos. He said, ‘Throw that out of the door now so we can actually get to the work,’ so that was what was unique for me, to actually do homework, to listen to what he says, strip yourself down and start all over again.
CW: Dr. King Schultz needs Django, He needs him to get the story going, but secondly he needs him because… I’m not going to tell you the story. You need to go and see the movie. (Laughs) This is a unique and fabulous relationship that is forged in the course of fantastic adventures. We’re talking about a spaghetti western. I find it sensational that Italian directors forge a new thing, spaghetti westerns, and then an American director takes the new thing and brings it back to America. Schultz and Django are a team and, yes, the dynamic changes over the course. But whether that’s a father figure or a teacher, I don’t know.

Jamie Foxx ha riferito anche che il finale del film è stato riscritto completamente.
“On the spur of the moment, he rewrote the end of the movie. Blows up the house and says, ‘My ending doesn’t work.’ We’re like, ‘What are you going to do?’ ‘Just give me a second.’ He’s walking on the rubble like this, ‘Okay, I got it.’ Goes to his trailer and comes back with the ending of the movie, but dope, When a writer writes a movie, he goes into his cabin and he’s there for like nine months, and comes down with like the tablets. This dude just went in his trailer.”
