I love the first teaser posters for Django Unchained — just vague enough to stir the imagination and just explicit enough to sing the film's epic, violent intentions in a way everyone can hear them. Very retro, very minimal, very... Quentin.

Browsing through the photo record of Tuesday's Titanic 3D premiere in London, one notices immediately the absence of Leonardo DiCaprio. What gives? I mean, if Billy Zane can make time, then lord knows Leo should be able to drop in for at least a few snapshots with James Cameron and co-star Kate Winslet. At the very least, he'd better have a good excuse — which, according to Cameron, he did.

Looks like Jonah Hill won't be joining Christoph Waltz, Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kurt Russell, Kerry Washington, Anthony LaPaglia, RZA and Don Johnson in Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained, even though he was offered a part. Hill revealed why he had to turn down the role with thundering poetic regret: "I got offered the new Quentin Tarantino movie, and I can't do it because of my schedule... Doing Quentin's movie would have obviously been amazing, but my schedule didn't work out, which sucks." Djonah Unavailable, more like! [MTV via /Film]
It's been a while since we brought you the latest set shenanigans from Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises; we've seen so much spoilery action spy footage, why ruin the mystique? Oh, that's right. Because we are obsessed. Good, good. Carry on. Here's a picture of Joseph Gordon-Levitt on set in NYC (but not at Occupy Wall Street) as Gotham copper John Blake, in uniform. You're welcome. Stick around for more Halloween Monday Buzz Break!
Looks like Quentin Tarantino's reaching into his own well to fill the shoes of his Django Unchained baddie. The Wrap reports that none other than Kurt Russell, who played Tarantino's Death Proof villain Stuntman Mike, is negotiating to replace Kevin Costner as Ace Woody, a plantation henchman who works for Leonardo DiCaprio's big bad. Battling against Kurt 'n' Leo will be Jamie Foxx as the titular slave-turned-bounty hunter and his German mentor Christoph Waltz (who recently injured himself training on horseback for the role). This Django's turning into quite the QT party! [The Wrap]
Some might argue that one trip to the wild, wild West was enough for Will Smith. Quentin Tarantino is, it seems, not one of those people. According to a report which you should take with a generous heaping of salt, QT wants Smith for the lead in Django Unchained, his buzzed-about next film which may co-star Christoph Waltz and Sam Jackson. Cue the Stevie Wonder riff!
