http://www.mania.com/will-smith-tarantino-team-up_article_129836.html Director Quentin Tarantino wishes to tackle the genre of spaghetti westerns and it looks like he wants Will Smith as his lead character. HR is reporting that Django Unchained---a western which Tarantino finished scripting out last week---could be the first time where blockbuster superstar Will Smith boards one of Quentin's productions. With the project already scheduled to begin shooting later this year, Smith would be starring opposite the Academy Award-winning Christoph Waltz, who's set to play a German bounty hunter. Tarantino penned the script and will direct for the Weinstein Company.
Plot Concept: In Quentin Tarantino's new spaghetti Western, the title character Django is a freed slave, who under the tutelage of a German bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) becomes a badass bounty hunter himself. After assisting Waltz on taking down some bad guys for profit, he is in turn assisted by Waltz in tracking down his slave wife and liberating her from an evil plantation owner.
For those of you not in the know, Django was a popular spaghetti western from the 60's starring Franco Nero that spawned several imitators.
