Jamie Foxx to Replace Will Smith in Tarantino's "Django Unchained"
Posted: June 14th, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com StaffWe recently learned that Will Smith was the frontrunner to star in Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained." But now comes word that Smith may pass on the role, because Jamie Foxx is now in talks to replace him.
If cast, Foxx will play Django, a freed slave who seeks to reunite with his slave wife, a journey that will see him team with a German bounty hunter (Christoph Waltz) to take down an evil plantation owner Monsieur Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio).
Idris Elba and Samuel L. Jackson are also attached, while DiCaprio is officially on board. The plan is to begin filming this fall.

Jamie Foxx Latest Actor Rumored For Django Unchained, Possibly Replacing Will Smith
published: 2011-06-14 12:50:35 Author: Katey RichAny new Quentin Tarantino project will be subject of a lot of rumors, but the speculation has been especially crazy around Django Unchained, the new QT project that probably will star Will Smith, or hey, unless it's Idris Elba, or maybe Chris Tucker could get the part. The story about an escaped slave taking vengeance on his evil master (probably to be played by Leonardo DiCaprio-- that's one rumor that seems to be for real) now has a new name circling: Jamie Foxx.
As reported by Showbiz 411 Foxx is now in the running for the part; it's unclear if that news came from Samuel L. Jackson, who chatted with 411's Roger Friedman at the Tonys, or from some other unspecified source. The same source also said that Leonardo DiCaprio is confirmed for the film, but again, having no idea who the source is it's hard to know how much we should trust them. So take this all as just more fodder for the rumor mill for now.
Foxx, though… that's an interesting thought. The actor's career has been all over the place since he won an Oscar for Ray back in 2005, with starring roles in Miami Vice and The Soloist not really going anywhere and bit parts in Valentine's Day and Due Date failing to garner much attention for him individually. Working with Tarantino would be a huge change of pace for Foxx, but the director has been able to work magic with all kinds of actors you'd never expect to cross his radar. I still think Will Smith could benefit most from a QT career revival, but if he falls out for some reason, Foxx is a fascinating second choice.

Paul Rudd's New Our Idiot Brother Trailer Makes A Case For Legalizing Pot
published: 2011-06-14 17:46:11 Author: Josh TylerHere’s a new trailer for Our Idiot Brother, and along the way to making this movie seem like a must see, it also makes a pretty good case for how ridiculous it is that we’re actually still locking up people for smoking marijuana.
In the film Paul Rudd plays a harmless, lovable, stoner whose insistence on kindness, honesty, and thinking the best of everyone lands him in jail for possession. He gets out and ends up going to live with his sisters, all of whom are endlessly frustrated by his kindhearted ways.
Watch the latest trailer for Our Idiot Brother below or in HD on Yahoo.
There’s a point in this trailer where Rudd’s siblings, played by Zooey Deschanel and Elizabeth Banks, get together and wish they could love things as much as their brother does. Answer: You can. All you need is a bong and a healthy resistance to the side effects of paranoia. Write your congressman now. Thanks Our Idiot Brother, for making me wish I could smoke out.
Our Idiot Brother arrives in theaters August 26th. For more in the movie visit our page in the Blend Film Database.
