Word is Idris Elba might play the lead role (Will Smith is also in the running) I love Tarantino, so this is great effin news!!
LOL@@!! This could go so wrong for Tarantino!!! The dude is hip and cool, but he has a unique 'filter' on pop culture that sometimes can be controversial. He makes graphic violence over-the-top cartoonish, and loves vendetta/revenge themes in his movies. If this slavery movie has a bunch of escaped brothas going out slaughtering their slavemasters, a la Inglorious Bastards, Quentin make get caught showing his ass!!
I wonder who will play the female lead. If you haven't noticed, Tarantino likes to have strong badass female characters.
This could be the movie Idris was talking about on Twitter. He's had a meeting about a very controversal role. Perhaps it's this one?? I LOVE Tarantino movies, so no matter who is in it I'll watch.
i fuckin love tarantino, pulp fiction and reservoir dogs has to be in my top choice films idris elba is a solid actor, i will pick him over will smith (he's soo overrated) i hear that di caprio is running for the other big role
I saw Pulp Fiction and I remember that scene where Tarantino's character says the n word a lot. If that was a real scene Jackson's character would pull a gun on him instead of being so cool. Also, Uma Thurman's character cheated on Ving Rhame's character which is not cool in my opinion.
Wonder if he will include race mixing in his movie. There was a lot of screwing going on in those days with massa and the slave women and Miss Anne trying out the black slave help. Oh of course, that is too sensitive in these politically correct times.
