Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained has already picked up an impressive five Golden Globe nominations, & by the end of tomorrow, we’ll know if it will moreover be heading to the Oscars next month.

The film debuted in the US on Christmas Day, & has been playing to very strong numbers at the box office, already taking in over $100m. in the States alone.

The rest of the world beyond North America is eagerly awaiting its arrival, & now Sony have released a new 20-second TV spot ahead of its huge screen debut in the UK next Friday.

“Set in the South two years before the Civil War, DJANGO UNCHAINED stars Academy Award(R)-winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award(R)-winner Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers, & only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles–dead or alive.”

Jamie Foxx is front & centre here as the eponymous Django, with Christoph Waltz & Leonardo DiCaprio both contenders for Best Supporting Actor in the height of the awards season. & starring alongside them is a fine cast, headed up by Kerry Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Jonah Hill, Don Johnson, & Walton Goggins.

Tarantino is naturally once more directing from his own script, with past collaborators Bob & Harvey Weinstein serving as executive producers.

Django Unchained is currently playing in the US, & fortunately we’ve not received much longer to wait for its arrival on our shores, with its UK release date set for 18th January. Until then, here’s the latest TV spot to get you in the mood. This is absolutely a must-see film of the year. Enjoy.
