The Big Payback
Eine Woche vor Beendigung der Dreharbeiten zu Django Unchained, in der noch Szenen mit Jonah Hill als Mitglied der Regulatoren (eine Vor- Bürgerkrieg Version des KKK) zu realsieren sind, stellte Tarantino mit seiner fast vollstänigen Crew seinen neuesten Film Django Unchained bei der ComicCon vor. Das Panel wurde von Anthony Breznican von Entertainment Weekly moderiert ,der den Film als "verdrehtes, blutige Märchen" bezeichnete, bevor er Jamie Foxx, Walton Goggins, Don Johnson Christoph Waltz (lange Haare und buschiger, weißer Bart, der fast aussah wie ein falschser Weihnachtsmann),Kerry Washington, und Tarantino vorstellte. Der Auftritt von Kerry Washington, die in dem Film Brunhilde Shaft, ein Vorfahrin von John Shaft, darstellt , verführte QT dazu, den Titelsong dem begeisterten Publikum vorzusingen. Nach der historischen Genauigkeit seines Films befragt, antwortete Tarantino, dass die Zeit vor dem Bürgerkrieg im Süden der USA kaum surrealer und gruseliger dargestellt werden könnte, als sie es in Wirklichkeit war. Der Film erzählt die Geschichte eines anfangs anonymen Sklaven in Ketten der später zu einem heldenhaften Kopfgeldjäger wird.Read More
