As was previously reported, Tarantino has been eyeing several candidates for the role of Django in his movie Django Unchained. Originally, Will Smith was offered the role. However, later it was revealed that Smith might be on the verge of refusing the role. At that point, a few other candidates moved to the forefront of the casting list. Now, it has been confirmed that Will Smith has indeed backed out and the role has been passed to another.
Variety reports that Jamie Foxx has now been given the part in the movie. Foxx will play the role of Django in Tarantino’s Django Unchained. Django is a freed slave who teams with a German bounty hunter in a quest to seek out and free his enslaved wife.
Reports also state that Kerry Washington is one of the actresses being looked at to play the role of Django’s wife Broomhilda.
Filming on Django Unchained is set to begin this fall.

I think he's a good choice. Hes a way better, more talented dramatic actor than comedic actor. I heard that Idris Elba was also being considered at one point. Hopefully this turns out as great as Tarantino's other films.

Leonardo Dicaprio is up for the villian in this movie... It's not a sealed deal and it was said the only thing that would stop him from doing it is scheduling conflicts with 'The Great Gatsby' film he will begin shooting soon... I hope this happens... Tarantino + Jamie Foxx + Leonardo = Legendary ? -
Also it is being reported that Will Smith passed on the role, which was orginally offered to him, because it wasn't "good for his image"... WTF man, ? is disappointing seems like we'll probably be getting Wild Wild West 2 and Hancock 2 after MIB III comes out next summer since Will is so worried about his image now and not doing good fkn movies
