Tarantino's Southern/Western titled Django Unchained
Franco Nero in Sergio Corbucci’s Django (1966)
HitFix has what looks to be some well-sourced and thoroughly researched information about Quentin Tarantino’s next film, previously described as “A Southern” — a frontier revenge tale set in the post-Civil War South. Drew McWeeny connects the dots for us:
Earlier today, @AgentTrainee simply tweeted the word “Jealous?” and a picture of a title page that should look familiar to anyone who read either “Kill Bill” or “Inglourious Basterds.” And if that title page is right, then we know know a few new things.
Awards Daily reader, billy, has seen the script and offers this informal synopsis:
The title character Django is a freed slave, who under the tutelage of a German bounty hunter (Christophe Waltz) becomes a badass bounty hunter himself and after assisting Waltz on taking down some bad guys for profit, is in turn assisted by Waltz in tracking down his slave wife and liberating her from an evil plantation owner. And that doesn’t even half begin to cover it!

I think not. Though Brad Brevett at RoS finds this rather baffling news on Blu-ray.com:
Blu-ray MoviesFrench distributors EuropaCorp have announced that they will release on Blu-ray acclaimed director Terrence Malick’s The Tree of Life (2011), starring Brad Pitt (Twelve Monkeys, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button), Sean Penn (Dead Man Walking, The Weight of Water ), and Jessica Chastain (Jolene, Take Shelter). The region coding status for this release is unknown at the moment. Street date is July 15th.
Disclaimer: That date must be a mistake, right? Following a path through the place-holder page for the eventual Blu-ray review, there’s a link to a pre-order page on Amazon.fr — ‚Ǩ23.99, cet article para√Ætra le 15 juillet 2011… don’t know what to make of this, but I’ll pass the information along — at the risk of sounding like I’m proselytizing for the imminent arrival of The Rapture.
