Shame Will Smith turned it down because he has no balls.

Just read Idris Elba was the 2nd choice after Smith and Fox was #3

Gah I wish Elba had taken the role. He's way too awesome.

And I'm kind of glad Will Smith didn't take it. I think I prefer Foxx in the more serious roles anyways.

From someone who read the script

As I said in my review of the script, Django isn't what I'd consider your typical leading man role, as he spends a majority of the script as an apprentice, freed from slavery and instructed under the tutelage of the character Christoph Waltz will play. He's more like Waltz's shadow for much of the story, and finally gets his moment to shine, but not until towards the end of the last act. And I never thought that Will Smith would go for that!

Also, he and Idris are just not the right size. The script calls for a smaller-framed actor; both Idris and Will are big guys. Not Dwayne Johnson massive, but definitely not what the Django script calls for. Jamie is certainly no scrawny slouch either, but I think you get the picture...

Lastly, there's humor in this - not a knee-slapping kind of humor, but more subtle and smart; deadpan even. I think Jamie can do both well enough.

He seems like he would do well as a racist plantation owner. I can already hear that southern accent.

It's nice that some actors are actually willing to explore their depths (stares back at Will Smith).

I just think of PSH in M:I:3

[Bert Macklin]

So Liam Neeson was supposed to play Lincoln but backed out thus opening the door for DDL. So I ask you who would you want as Lincoln Neeson vs DDL.

[TheBoyWonder22]

DDL easily. Neeson would be weirder for sure.

[Jvig43]

Liam Neeson most likely could portray himself better than DDL could.

Just check out the red band trailer. If amount of boobs shown in red band trailer is proportional to the amount of boobs throughout the movie, there will be lots of boobs. Plus it's a movie about an epic high school party, makes sense.

It's my generation's answer to Dazed and Confused...........:)

When's the last time there wasn't some doubt over Tarantino's casting?
