I expect more Leone or Corbucci Influence… ;( will see what happen.
[b]Did QT raid Michael Landon’s wardrobe?
Why is Django dressed like Little Joe in Bonanza?
Why are there no cartridge loops in his gunbelt?
Until 1900, trousers were supported by suspenders.
Belts were for carrying guns and they all had cartridge loops.
Usually, one side of the belt was filled with ammo for the handgun, the other side was filled with ammo for the rifle.
Unless both weapons were of the same caliber in which case there would only be one caliber of cartridges in the belt.
Further, the belt also supported a knife in a sheath on the opposite side of the of holster.
What you see above is historically inaccurate costuming, just like in a spaghetti western or an old TV series.[/b]
Leonardo DiCaprio is an excellent choice for the villain.
Of course the villain is well-dressed. Good costume, too.
[b]I get a kick out of seeing Jamie Foxx, the new Django, bellied up to the bar with Franco Nero, the original Django.
Also love the Lone Pine locations. You can’t get that western scenery in Spain.
The lighting and sets have a distinct 1960s feel to them.
Pity about the digital intermediate.
Westerns need photochemistry to capture the detail in vast landscapes, and the digital intermediate softens it.

The plot synopsis at imdb sounds like a description of:
combined with its sequel:
[b]No kidding.
Fred Williamson should have let those films out a long time ago, because QT is running off with his story.

Yep, also noticed that.
Indeeed, that is probably part of the homage - I bet Quentin Tarantino knows as well as the rest of us the plot’s similarity to The Legend of Nigger Charly and The Soul of Nigger Charly.
It’s too bad this isn’t an exploitation movie. Quentin Tarantino is well known as a documentarian.

The story takes place in pre civil war time. I guess cap and ball was the norm still, because of the Rollin White cartridge patent, and that belts with cartridge loops maybe weren´t invented yet.
Is Quentin going to take us across the west or is the story strictly tied to the southern parts? I hope he manage to include the most spaghettish thing of all in a spaghetti western - boisterous mexicans.
Heheheh. Hell yah, mexicans, f***in machine guns, federales. Looks like we will not seen shit like this in the upcoming Django.
Strange, in the past Tarantino was say that “The Good, the Bad” is his favorite movie…
The trailer is out [url]- YouTube
Looks very good. I like snow settings in a western.
Looks too much like exploitation to me, but I hope it’ll be better.
And snow in westerns is always appreciated. 
Gotta love that part with Franco Nero.
It’s a funny scene when the old Django talks to the young Django… ;D
And of course it is always nice to see that Mr Sparanero is OK and feels good. 
Yes cool scene, glad Nero managed to get a part in the film.

Do you know that the line from Le samourai in your signature is not form The Book of Bushido, but is actually an invention from Melville?
The film looks good, but I am not getting much of a Spaghetti vibe from it. However, it is hard to judge a film from a trailer, especially such as an advance one as this.
I don’t expect a particular SW style from this film, after the Trailer even less.
But it is definitely a western, even if set probably in the south.
[size=10pt]IT’S NOT A SPAGHETTI!..IT’S A TARANTINO WESTERN, PERIOD.[/size]
And by the looks of that trailer, it’s got the making of a Bomb!
I’ll wait till the dvd comes out, then I’ll judge it then.
