No matter what, Joseph Gordon Levitt's going home with a SAG Ensemble award in 2013.

The more mainstream cast members they announce, the less interested I am in this film.

re: Django Unchained - Quentin Tarantino spaghetti western
I haven't read the script but does any one know which westerns Tarantino will be stealing from when he compiles the movie? And when is he going to start shooting that his movie about a giant great white shark that terrorizes a beach community over a holiday weekend?

I'd assume he'll use the choicest films so he can crank out another masterpiece that will make his detractors hate him even more.

Yes. He has a major role in a highly-touted new family 3-D holiday release, HUGO. And he does a voice in all the MADAGASCAR animated movies. And he was in a Will Ferrell movie. To me, that's all mainstream.
Jamie Foxx, Christopher Waltz? Because they're all mainstream actors and they are also cast in this film. You must not have any interest in seeing this film. |

The great thing about KILL BILL, for instance, was a cast of colorful Asian players who were unfamiliar to the larger U.S. audience, e.g. Sonny Chiba, Gordon Liu, Chiaki Kuriyama and Kenji Oba, among others, and really good parts for people like Uma, Lucy, Darryl, and Vivica, plus old-timers like Carradine and Michael Parks for those of us who remember when those guys were starting out. JACKIE BROWN revived the careers of Pam Grier and Robert Forster and gave great parts to Jackson, De Niro, Fonda and Keaton. None of them were big stars at the time, except for De Niro, who was playing a character role. RESERVOIR DOGS had a superb all-male cast, none of them big names, but all of them interesting actors, and he gave Lawrence Tierney his last great role. INGLOURIOUS BASTERDS had a trio of unknowns who were perfectly cast and made the movie stand out: Melanie Laurent, Michael Fassbender and Waltz. Diane Kruger was pretty good, too, plus Julie Dreyfus and, in a nod to us old-schoolers, Rod Taylor. The one sore spot in the casting was Pitt, whose portrayal was the only cartoonish note in the film. Pitt was the most mainstream casting choice in any of these movies. (He was great in TRUE ROMANCE, though, before he became a star.) My point is that Tarantino has generally made very creative casting choices in his films, even in a lesser film like DEATHPROOF. But he doesn't seem to have done that with DJANGO UNCHAINED. These all seem like very safe choices to me. Which makes me less interested. I'll go see it because it's Tarantino, but Di Caprio's presence already has me negatively disposed toward it. |

Well, if it was just Russell, Jackson and Waltz, I wouldn't mind. I like those guys and I liked them before they were mainstream. But Di Caprio is a friggin' deal-breaker for me. He's the worst actor to ever become a major Hollywood star and he's ruined every Scorsese movie he's been in and quite a few others as well. And I'm none too crazy about Foxx, Levitt and the aforementioned Cohen. And the inclusion of Kerry Washington and Don Johnson in the cast doesn't impress me either.
