Article form yahoo.com (http://movies.yahoo.com/blogs/movie-talk/jamie-foxx-actually-second-choice-django-unchained-231955381.html) Now that the first trailer for Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained" is out (see below), we'll get you up-to-date on the facts. Some have dubbed the film Tarantino's "Southern" -- a play on the fact the film's title borrows from 1966 Italian spaghetti Western "Django," includes Western film elements, but is set in the South. In the revenge-themed "Unchained," Jamie Foxx plays Django --a freed slave who becomes a bounty hunter and faces off with an evil plantation owner (Leonardo DiCaprio), all the while seeking the whereabouts of his slave wife Broomhilda (Kerry Washington). Foxx, however, was not the first actor envisioned for the role. Tarantino originally wrote "Unchained" with Will Smith in mind. (One can imagine why Smith -- a major box office draw who attracts audiences of all backgrounds -- turned down the opportunity to play a character who expresses pleasure in getting paid to "kill white folks.") Talks devolved and Foxx was eventually cast in the leading role. He recently said what drew him to the role: "This is a love story. He's not trying to stop slavery. He's not trying to do anything but find the love of his life — which is like trying to find a needle in a world of haystacks." Foxx and Smith are friends in real life and both appeared in 2001's "Ali," for which Smith was nominated for an Oscar. The two were later said to be vying for the role of President Barack Obama in a biopic -- but that never happened. Foxx went on to win an Oscar for 2004's "Ray," in which Washington also plays his wife. Here are more interesting details around "Django Unchained": Tarantino has been courting DiCaprio for a while: He had written the role of one of the villains in 2009's "Inglorious Basterds" for him. It was the role of Hans Landa played by Christoph Waltz -- who is also in "Unchained" -- that eventually won him a best supporting actor Oscar. Perhaps DiCaprio is avoiding making the same mistake twice. This is the first time DiCaprio has played a villain in a major motion picture. And in this one, he is said to be evil. Brad Pitt, who too appeared in "Basterds," is said to have turned down many "juicy" roles in "Unchained." But don't count him out yet -- Harvey Weinstein says surprise actors are in store. The film also stars Don Johnson (you heard correctly) and Samuel L. Jackson and opens on Christmas Day -- pitting DiCaprio against himself as he also stars in Baz Luhrmann's "The Great Gatsby," out the same day.

Here's the link to download the new mixtape! Enjoy! http://t.co/BfK7D4xC

Thanx! Great to hear him on the mic again! Is he doing a new version?

Done!

Good news! It will be great watching ID4 in 3D.

That brand new funk performance is great! If only they would do a tour....

Love it!

Gotta love it!

I must say that it was very quiet when I went to see the movie. It was the opening day in Belgium and there were about 20 people there to see it! But just like the UK we are finally having some nice weather after a month of rain! It' freakin hot out here! That might be a reason. Plus the fact that it was just a weekday, I'll wait until I see the weekend numbers!

You just have to love that video! It's sad and funny at the same time!

I have to agree with Brakes and Julie on this one. The remarks about his kids are totally uncalled for! It has nothing to do with him not doing music at the moment!

Love that video gosia! Thanx! Hope we get the full video soon!

This is just great!! Love te videos! Hope we get to see some more of the video that was shot by Sony! Are they going to release it? On the dvd perhaps? That would be great!

Great pictures! It's good to see Will on the mic again. Hope we get some more videos soon!

I couldn't agree with you more!

I've just seen MIB3 today and I must say: I like it! Great story (love the ending), great action and it was such a joy seeing Will on the big screen again! The 3D didn't really add anything special to the movie. It's just a nice gimmick! So, what do y'all think of the movie?

Thanx 4 posting! Never seen this video! Is this new, or is this from around the time "Lost & Found" dropped? He's doing the "don't hate him" and "Willywood" freestyles.

Yeah it looks like he will be performing with them...can't wait! Thanx 4 all the interviews!

The song sucks! ****!

This sucks big time!! But it's not like we didn't see this coming! I didn't expect Will to do a song for the soundtrack. He's too busy with shooting his next film. Sure Pitbull is not on the same level as Will, but he's popular at the moment. So it makes sense for him to do a track. Maybe Will can jump on a remix or something! It doesn't look like we will be getting any new music soon! Damn!

The new trailer looks great! It doesn't give too much away about the story. I hope MIB³ has got more action in it then the first two.

Thanx 4 posting! Great stuff!

Finally! The first trailer has been released! Doesn't look bad! Can't wait to see what the final movie will be like, even with all the bad stuff we've been hearing. It won't be as bad as Wild Wild West!

GREAT NEWS!!! Let's hope we get to hear something soon....!

Can't wait to buy this album....have been listening to a lot of his songs!
