First look at Christoph Waltz in Django Unchained

After rewriting the Second World War in Inglorious Basterds, Quentin Tarantino is turning his sights on the western genre with Django Unchained, though the director insists on calling the movie a 'Southern' because of the fact it is set in the Deep South and deals with issues of slavery, but through the medium of spaghetti westerns. It boasts quite an impressive cast with Jamie Foxx as the titular Django, Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz, Sacha Baron Cohen, Kurt Russel, Joesph Gordon-Levitt and Samuel L. Jackson. The story follows a freed slave as he teams up with a bounty hunter to rescue his wife from an evil and sadistic plantation owner (DiCaprio).

Thanks to Christoph Waltz Fans, we have our first look at the actor as German dentist turned bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz. Very impressive, especially the facial hair.

Released: December 25th 2012 (U.S.)/ January 18th 2013 (U.K./IRE)
