There is way too much bashing of this guy going around the internet (which is why I wrote an article called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.furiouscinema.com\/2011\/05\/in-praise-of-kevin-costner\/\" target=\"_blank\">In Praise of Kevin Costner, read it<\/a>), so I am positively surprised that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deadline.com\/2011\/07\/kevin-costner-joining-quentin-tarantinos-django-unchained\/\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline reports<\/a> he is in talks to play a real meanie in <em>Quentin Tarantino<\/em>&#8216;s upcoming southern <strong>Django Unchained<\/strong>. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deadline.com\/2011\/07\/kevin-costner-joining-quentin-tarantinos-django-unchained\/\" target=\"_blank\">According to Fleming<\/a>, he is tapped to play Ace Woody, a really sadist SOB training slaves to fight each other. That sounds like fun. The movie is shaping up nicely. Ever since <em>Jamie Foxx<\/em> has signed (as the titular <em>Django<\/em>, an escaped slave), the project, which will also star <em>Christoph Waltz<\/em>, <em>Samuel L. Jackso<\/em>n and <em>Leonardo Di Caprio<\/em>, it is easier to really imagine where it is going. Tarantino is on the best way again to assemble a kick ass all star cast that will blow everything else outta the water. Costner would be great especially because he would be an unexpected appearance in such a film.<\/p>\n<p>What I am interested in is who will definitely gonna be cast as Django&#8217;s damsel in distress Brunhilda. Rumors had it that Kerry Washington is in talks (<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.indiewire.com\/theplaylist\/archives\/kerry_washington_in_the_mix_to_play_broomhilda_in_django_unchained\/\" target=\"_blank\">Playlist<\/a>). Interesting times ahead, my dear Tarantinoites, I can already see the opening credits in front of me, triggering standing ovations before the movie even starts. Go Quentin, cast your spell, cast your dream cast!<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.deadline.com\/2011\/07\/kevin-costner-joining-quentin-tarantinos-django-unchained\/\" target=\"_blank\">Deadline<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I really like Kevin Costner.
