The rapper-turned-actor is eyeing the role of a slave in Tarantino's spaghetti Western film.
Will Smith might be headed back to the wild, wild west. The rapper-turned-actor is in talks to star in Quentin Tarantino’s upcoming spaghetti Western film Django Unchained, which focuses on “a slave in the Old South who teams with a German bounty hunter to search for his wife.”The film, which begins production in the fall, also may include Samuel L. Jackson and Christoph Waltz in key roles. With Louisiana as a likely forerunner for a shooting location, Django will follow Smith’s title role as a “freed slave who seeks to reunite with his slave wife, a journey which will see him team up with a German bounty hunter to take down an evil plantation owner.”
Jackson is in talks to play Monsieur Calvin Candie, a villain who is also a slave and clashes with Django. According to insiders, Tarantino has requested Smith to star in the flick, based on a script that he penned himself.
