An international trailer for Django Unchained was released today and in it we get a bit more story, and we get a bit more Samuel L. Jackson. And, by a bit, I mean we see him for about .25 seconds, and if his name was not smashed across the screen, I'm not sure that I would have even recognized him. The actors are top-notch and this looks to be another wild ride with Tarantino and all I can say is, I'm so there.

I already love this movie!

A little put off by the use of The Big Payback. Nothing wrong with James Brown of course, but one of the best things about Tarantino's flicks are always the great (slightly obscure) soundtracks, so to use this song that's in probably at least like 5 trailers a year just seems out of place.

Still, the movie looks great, though.

@gangly My thoughts completely

Leonardo takes third billing to an actor who's never got higher than third and Jamie Foxx an actor who agreed to take supporting roles in Horrible Bosses and Due Date. Wow!

Heck from what I heard in the script his character has the most screentime.

I think I liked the first trailer more.

Yea I kind of like the first trailer a bit more. It's just a title card but did we really need the reveal that Sam Jackson is in the movie? I remember hearing him and Kurt Russel where in the movie but did we need a reveal this early?

The first trailer was better done. Some of the lines had better delivery, also. Such as the "curiosity" line from DiCaprio.

I'm pretty sure marketing picked the songs. The movie will probably not even include these songs in the final cut.

So no dragging a coffin? Meh...already cooled to QT.

Everyone who's read the screenplay says it's great.

I still don't care for Tarantino's flicks, but I'm curious what he can do with a buddy flick.

I've always felt that QT was too knowingly clever for his films' good, but I see promise.
