New 'Django Unchained' Clip Shows Great Promise…

The Weinstein Company has released another exciting clip of Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained. To go along with the company’s launch of a new website for the upcoming movie, they included a new 60-second clip.

The new footage features the A-list Hollywood stars like Jamie Foxx Leonardo DiCaprio, Christoph Waltz and Samuel L. Jackson in their old southern characters. In the clip, parading around on a horse, Foxx’ character even takes a man’s life, who is probably partially responsible for holding his wife captive in slavery.

For those who don’t know by now, Django Unchained is a Southern Western-type film set in the cotton fields of the 1800s Deep South. Django (Foxx) is a freed slave who teams up with Christoph Waltz’s bounty hunter character, Dr. King Schultz, to hunt down the opposition and to free Django’s wife (Kerry Washington). Leonardo DiCaprio’s character, Calvin Candie, is the plantation owner and the Schultz and Django will have to go through a slew of men until they finally meet him face to face.

Django Unchained will hit theaters December 25, 2012. New clip below:

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
