Briefly: Word from a Variety editor named Stuart Oldham (via twitter) is that the first official teaser trailer for Quentin Tarantino's spaghetti western Django Unchained will be arriving very soon. In fact, he reports a scoop that "the first Django Unchained teaser will play in front of Prometheus." Even more good reason to go see Ridley Scott's return to sci-fi, arriving in theaters on June 8th. The Weinstein Company teased 7 minutes of the very first footage from Django to press in Cannes (myself included - video blog here) which means they're getting ready to unleash this, and I cant wait to see what the first teaser looks like. We'll definitely keep you updated and will let you know if this is officially confirmed in the next few weeks.

Updated: The badass first official Django Unchained trailer is out now! You can view it in high def here.

Django Unchained is written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, who last brought us Inglourious Basterds. In the film, the Django (Jamie Foxx) is a freed slave, who under the tutelage of a German bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) becomes a bounty hunter himself, and together they track down his slave wife (Kerry Washington) and liberate her from the evil plantation owner (Leonardo DiCaprio). The cast includes Samuel Jackson, Dennis Christopher, Walton Goggins, M.C. Gainey, Don Johnson, Anthony LaPaglia, RZA, James Russo, James Remar, Todd Allen and Franco Nero. Shooting is just wrapping and The Weinstein Company currently has the film scheduled for release starting December 25th, Christmas Day, the end of this year.

Just need a double-check on that cast list. The most recent report I read had Sacha Baron Cohen and Kurt Russell dropping out of the picture. Cohen had scheduling conflicts and Russell was supposedly dissatisfied with the project's tone and direction.

Kurt Russel being out is a HUGE deal for me. I care significantly less about this movie now.

  Kurt russel being a huge deal to you with the likes of dicaprio, foxx and the great tarantino? come on now.. the last credible film russel was in was grindhouse...

Im sure this movie will be just fine with or without Kurt Russel.

yea, I don't think Russel will affect the movie, I think its obvious watching any Tarantino film that his DIRECTION and ideas are really what makes his art. I guarantee one of these actors will win or be nominated for their performance. I mean, watch Basterds again..did ANY of those actors do their normal bit? Not at all.. and thats one of the many reasons i love the man. I can't wait to see this!!! can't wait..That Damn mayan apocalypse better put itself on pause!!!

Okay, sure, the movie will be just fine with Kurt Russel, like the same exact film. I think the problem Brian was having, if he's in the same boat as me, is that he was really hoping for some cool Kurt Russelness in the film. So sure, the outcome will be the same, its just a bit of a disappoint to lose Russel.
Kinks!

Cannot wait for this film... Considering how enormous an influence Sergio Leone has been on Tarantino, this film should be incredible! It's a shame to lose Kurt Russell, however, Harvey Weinstein stated in Cannes that a couple more surprise cameos would make their way into this film... he should give the living legend that is Eli Wallach a call.
