There is No Official Django Unchained Trailer or Leaked Footage Yet

There is no official Django Unchained Trailer yet. There are no leaked Django Unchained clips yet. Anything claiming otherwise is fake.

 
There are several Youtube videos and torrents floating around the internet claiming to be the official Django Unchained trailer. Even worse, some videos are claiming to be the unreleased film itself. These videos are scams at best, computer viruses at worst. The way the scam works is that the Youtube page or downloaded torrent file will ask you to visit a website to access the real video. This website will either infect your computer with a virus, phish for your personal information, or try to get you to sign up for surveys and offers. Avoid these websites like the plague. If a Youtube video or torrent tells you to visit a different website to access the video you want to see, it’s a scam. Ignore it and close the tab.

About the Official Django Unchained Trailer Release Date

You may be wondering at this point when the official Django Unchained trailer will be released. At the time I’m writing this, there is no official word about the trailer’s release date. Django Unchained is still being filmed, and will continue film over the next several weeks. After filming, it will go through editing, and only then will one of Tarantino’s underlings be able to put together a film trailer (although it wouldn’t surprise me if Tarantino himself took over this task).  So my own personal guess as to when the Django Unchained trailer will be released? During the Summer 2012 movie season. Possibly Memorial Day weekend at the very earliest.

Whenever the official trailer is released (or leaked), I’ll be posting about it here as soon as possible without all of the scams, computer viruses, or BS. Be sure to follow me on RSS or Twitter so that you don’t miss it!

Michael Bacall and Tom Wopat Join the Django Unchained Cast

Although we’re nearly a month into filming, there are still names being added to the massive Django Unchained cast. The latest additions are Michael Bacall (screenplay writer of Scott Pilgrim and Project X) and Tom Wopat (Luke Duke from The Dukes of Hazzard). Although both men only have small parts in Django Unchained, they have some interesting stories to share.

First, Michael Bacall, who was in Inglourious Basterds and Death Proof, mentions how a chance meeting with Quentin Tarantino led to a role in Django Unchained:

I was at the New Bev when he was doing his series there. And I sat behind him [Tarantino], and didn’t know he was there. And I think he was writing it at the time, and he turned around and kind of explained what the role was, and said “that’s you.” And I said “F*ck yeah, dude.” (laughs)

Next, Tom Wopat, revealed in a recent interview that he’s in Django Unchained as “a set-up for a gag.” Here he discusses his role in Django Unchained and working with Tarantino (quote contains very minor spoilers):

“He’s a cool cat. We had the best time. We shot with film, which is unheard of, (because) nobody shoots film anymore,” Wopat says. “Tarantino turns out to have been a big fan (of Dukes), and was a big fan of Jim Best, who played Roscoe. It’s just a two-minute scene, all a set-up for a gag. But I’m one of the few people who doesn’t get killed. And when you do his films, you pretty much know you’re gonna die.”

Quentin Tarantino Meme

There’s currently a drought in Django Unchained news, so I thought now would be a good opportunity to pass along two videos that have been making the rounds on the internet. Titled From Below, it’s a montage of Quentin Tarantino movie clips where the camera is looking up at various characters.

This video is a companion piece to From Above, which contains movie clips from Wes Anderson movies where the camera is looking down on various objects.
