Recently, Kevin Costner has vacated his role in Quentin Tarantino‘s forthcoming Western Django Unchained, due to an apparent scheduling conflict. Now, Kurt Russell is reportedly in talks to take over the role.
Russell would play Ace Woody, a henchman to villainous plantation owner Calvin Candie, played by Leonardo DiCaprio. Also set to star in Django Unchained are Christoph Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson and Jamie Foxx in the title role.
Russell previously worked with Tarantino in 2007‘s Death Proof.
Django Unchained is currently targeting a Christmas 2012 release date.

What do your fellow Flickcharters have to say?
ToryK – “I loved these guys growing up. Still do. But I think Tarantino’s most recent movie beats Rodriguez’, no contest. Machete was nuts, true. But to me, it was nowhere near as fun as Desperado. Or even Once Upon a Time in Mexico. Basterds felt like Tarantino taking his own movies apart, finding out what makes them tick, and building a new film with that knowledge in mind. I didn’t dislike Machete, I was just disappointed. I wanted more from a guy I was used to having to having so much fun with.”
Dinner for Schmucks (DVD and Blu-ray | PG-13 | 2010)

I reviewed this movie when it first came out for the site. I originally placed it in my top 33% but it’s fallen to around top 37% since. I expect it to keep dropping a bit as nothing has really stuck with me about the movie five months later.
Catfish (DVD and Blu-ray | PG-13 | 2010)

Rank it amongst the best Documentaries of all time.

Official Synopsis from Universal Studios: “In late 2007, filmmakers Ariel Schulman and Henry Joost sensed a story unfolding as they began to film the life of Ariel’s brother, Nev. They had no idea that their project would lead to the most exhilarating and unsettling months of their lives. A reality thriller that is a shocking product of our times, Catfish is a riveting story of love, deception and grace within a labyrinth of online intrigue.”
