We didn’t go to Cannes<\/strong>, but if we had, we probably would’ve seen some roughly seven minutes of Django Unchained<\/strong><\/a> today, and then suffered a heart attack and died, out of coolness. The Weinstein Company<\/em> screened some footage of the film, something like an extended promo trailer, to industry people and journalists, and the reactions to it are great so far.<\/p>\n

MINOR SPOILERS AHEAD, YOU’VE BEEN WARNED<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Eric Vespe of Aintitcoolnews.com wrote<\/a> a particularly enthusiastic review of the footage. He reveals the most amazing double-fact right in the first sentence, namely the nature of Franco Nero<\/a>‘s cameo, and how the main character is to be pronounced.<\/p>\n

Now, I was already won over by the time we see Jamie Foxx<\/a> and a grizzled cowboy in a two shot having drinks at a saloon, but the moment I realized who the cowboy was I went from love to obsessed stalker. \u201cWhat\u2019s yer name?\u201d Franco Nero asks Foxx. \u201cDjango,\u201d he replies. \u201cThe D is silent.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He goes on to describe how it is a fairly humorous, but also quite bloody at times, movie – at least from what he saw. And he gives another soundtrack clue: James Brown – The Big Payback.<\/p>\n

Another soundtrack clue comes from Totalfilm.com’s really good breakdown<\/a> of 8 essential things they learn from the footage. They mention Johnny Cash<\/em>, but also mention how it looks in gorgeous widescreen and how essential Christoph Waltz<\/strong><\/a> is in the movie. And not to be outdone, there’s plenty of language to go around for the sensitive folk..<\/p>\n

\n

Tarantino has written a film set in the pre-civil war South and his script reflects all the realities of that. So expect the N-bomb to be dropped everywhere by everyone<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\"Django<\/p>\n

Lasty, I recommend checking out CriticWire, who summed up a number of tweets <\/a>by people who saw the footage.<\/p>\n

Empire Magazine<\/em><\/a>:<\/strong> “Harvey Weinstein just presented 7 mins of ‘Django Unchained.’ Looks ace. We’re tipping Fritz the nodding horse to be a breakout star. #Cannes”<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I hope that silences all the ridiculous kinda bad Twitter press the movie has been getting due to some changes in the cast, which are being blown completely out of proportion because people don’t read more than catchy headlines. I recommend you to read the three articles that I linked above, none of them very spoilerific, and I think what emerges is a confirmation of how awesome we all think this movie is gonna be. All the style of Leone<\/a>-inspired widescreen spaghetti western goodness, paired with Quentin Tarantino<\/strong>‘s unique blending of genres and twisting of expectations. I can’t wait to see Jamie Foxx<\/strong> as a blend between Richard Roundtree<\/em> and Clint Eastwood<\/em>.<\/p>\n
