Kevin Costner (ROBIN HOOD: PRINCE OF THIEVES) has dropped out of the soon-to-begin shooting Quentin Tarantino (PULP FICTION) movie DJANGO UNCHAINED. Costner has cited the familiar ‘scheduling conflicts’ with his other projects as his reason. Costner was due to play the lead ‘henchman’ Ace Woody to Leonardo DiCaprio’s (INCEPTION) brutal plantation owner Calvin Candie.
The movie will also see Jamie Foxx (RAY) take the lead as Django, a freed slave-turned-bounty hunter who teams up with Christoph Waltz’ Dr King Schultz (INGLORIOUS BASTERDS) to rescue his enslaved wife from Candie’s clutches.
Samuel L. Jackson was also recently confirmed as part of the cast.
