DJANGO 1966 - DJANGO UNCHAINED 2012 DOUBLE FEATURE

DJANGO (1966) Director : SERGIO CORBUCCI Starring : FRANCO NERO - EDUARDO FAJARDO - LOREDANA NUSCIAK Django (/ #39;d?æ?go?/, JANG-goh[5]) is a 1966 Italian Spaghetti Western film directed and co-written by Sergio Corbucci, starring Franco Nero (in his breakthrough role) as the title character alongside Loredana Nusciak, José Bódalo, Ángel Álvarez and Eduardo Fajardo.[6] The film follows a Union soldier-turned-drifter and his companion, a mixed-race prostitute, who become embroiled in a bitter, destructive feud between a gang of Confederate Red Shirts and a band of Mexican revolutionaries. Intended to capitalize on and rival the success of Sergio Leone #39;s A Fistful of Dollars, Corbucci #39;s film is, like Leone #39;s, considered to be a loose, unofficial adaptation of Akira Kurosawa #39;s Yojimbo.[2][page needed][7][8] DJANGO UNCHAINED (2012) Director : Quentine Tarantino Starring : JAMIE FOXX - CHRISTOPH WALTZ - LEONARDO DICAPRIO Django Unchained (/ #39;d?æ?go?/) is a 2012 American revisionist Western[4] film written and directed by Quentin Tarantino, starring Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, and Samuel L. Jackson, with Walton Goggins, Dennis Christopher, James Remar, Michael Parks, and Don Johnson in supporting roles. Set in the Old West and Antebellum South, it is a highly-stylized, heavily-revisionist tribute to Spaghetti Westerns, in particular the 1966 Italian film Django by Sergio Corbucci, whose star Franco Nero has a cameo appearance. Development of Django Unchained began in 2007 when Tarantino was writing a book on Corbucci. By April 2011, Tarantino sent his final draft of the script to The Weinstein Company. Casting began in the summer of 2011, with Michael K. Williams and Will Smith being considered for the role of the title character before Foxx was cast. Principal photography took place from November 2011 to March 2012 in California, Wyoming, and Louisiana.
