This is the first official visual from the Weinstein Company-produced western (or, as Tarantino called it, a “Southern”), which costars Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Sacha Baron Cohen and Kurt Russell in addition to Foxx and Waltz. Interestingly enough, the new poster is reminiscent of an Internet trend among graphic-designy folks who have re-imagined movie posters with minimalist artistic renditions as well as the stylized simplicity of Saul Bass‘s famous Hitchcock posters. Django’s stark four-color silhouetting probably has little or nothing to do with the actual visuals of the film, but it’s damn cool (and when journalists have nothing better to say than “damn cool,” it means that something is damn cool).
This is going to be amazing. Leonardo DiCaprio, Christopher Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, Sacha Cohen, Jamie Foxx... and of course Quentin Tarantino directing it.
