Last week, news broke that Kevin Costner had dropped out of the writer-director Quentin Tarantino film DJANGO UNCHAINED. It now appears the role of ‘Ace Woody’ has been filled by non other than Snake Pliskin himself, Kurt Russell.
Kurt Russell previously worked with Tarantino as ‘Stuntman Mike’ on DEATH PROOF. It was originally released Stateside as an experimental double-bill project alongside Robert Rodriguez’ PLANET TERROR. After GRINDHOUSE bombed at the US box-office, it was decided that the movies would eventually be released in the UK separately.
DJANGO UNCHAINED will star Jamie Foxx (RAY) as a freed slave turned bounty hunter alongside Christoph Waltz (INGLORIOUS BASTERDS), Leonardo DiCaprio (SHUTTER ISLAND), Samuel L. Jackson (PULP FICTION) and Dennis Christopher (DEADWOOD).
