After unconfirmed but credible rumors spread earlier today on Twitter, Deadline now sounds confident that Jamie Foxx has been chosen for the lead role in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained.

Foxx will join Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCario and Samuel L. Jackson in a Sergio Leone-style spaghetti Western that Tarantino wrote and has set in Mississippi during slavery… Django is a slave who’s liberated by a German dentist-turned-bounty hunter [Waltz] and taught the tricks of the trade by his mentor. Django’s major goal in life is to recover his wife, and to do it he needs to get past the villainous ranch owner Calvin Candie [DiCaprio], who runs Candyland, a despicable club and plantation in Mississippi where female slaves are exploited as sex objects and males are pitted against each other in “mandingo” style death matches. Candie is a slave’s worst nightmare and that is where Django’s wife Broomhilda is an abused slave… Tarantino’s Pulp Fiction star Samuel L. Jackson is also expected to play the role of Stephen, Candie’s valet who keeps the slaves in line at Candie’s residence.
