"Hey there, little lady. Did you know I raised Kate Hudson?" (*gets drink thrown in face*)
A few months back, it was reported that Kevin Costner would be joining Tarantino’s upcoming 
The movie is set in the American South of the 1800s and follows a freed slave (Jamie Foxx) who partners with a German bounty hunter (Chrisoph Waltz) in order to find his wife.
The bad guy list they encounter is impressive: Leonardo DiCaprio as a Francophile plantation owner who forces slaves to compete in death matches and Samuel L. Jackson as a vile head slave who works for DiCaprio.
Coming on to the list of antagonists will be Russell, playing a character called Ace, a man who oversees the plantation in a ruthless manner and who relishes punishing slaves. [THR]
Needless to say, this sounds great. Christoph Waltz made me enjoy a movie where R-Pattz falls in love with Reese Witherspoon while they bond over a circus elephant, so I can only imagine how good he’ll be in a violent Tarantino flick about mandingo slave fights. On a side note, is it just me, or does the slave-teams-up-with-German-bounty-hunter plot kind of sound like a funhouse-mirror Brett Ratner plot? In the Ratner version, the trailer would just be an interracial buddy duo on horseback arguing back and forth while an ELO song plays. Don’t bring me doown; down down down down doooooooooowwwwn, oh woo hooo…

It sounds to me like QT did a whole bunch of coke, drank a pint of Jaeggermeister, and passed out while watching Wild Wild West.
I hope Kurt Russell wears an eye patch in this movie.

So I’m assuming they’re going to shoot this film on Rick Perry’s ranch?
Talk about irony, didn’t Spike Lee call Samuel L. Jackson a house “nigga” after he defended Tarantino’s liberal use of the word on Pulp Fiction?
Rose McGowan gets skull-dragged by a souped up horse and buggy or GTFO!
It looks like that banner pic shows Stuntman Mike getting a visit from the Rum-and-Coke Wizard.
Spike Lee thinks Tarantino’s Coke Wizard is pure alakazoonery
too bad Kate Hudson didn’t get the like-ability gene from her dad. I would take a bullet* for Kurt Russell.
*back to the store where he bought it because it was a dud.
“Christoph Waltz made me enjoy a movie where R-Pattz falls in love with Reese Witherspoon while they bond over a circus elephant, so I can only imagine how good he’ll be in a violent Tarantino flick about mandingo slave fights.”
Only because he beats Reese Witherspoon in Water for Elephants right?
I always thought ‘mandingo’ was an Australian werewolf.
To paraphrase Jack Burton: “Like I told my last wife, I says, “Honey, I never slave-drive faster than I can see. Besides that, it’s all in the reflexes.”
Thanks for spreading more truth about the fact that notwithstanding Stuntman Mike, Death Proof is a terrible exercise in how grating you can make women appear on film.
