Kurt Russell Replaces Kevin Costner In DJANGO UNCHAINED
Nordling here.
I guess with MAN OF STEEL there just was too much on Kevin Costner's plate to stay with Quentin Tarantino's DJANGO UNCHAINED. Costner, who left the production last week, will be replaced by Kurt Russell, who has worked with Tarantino before, with great success.
The part that Russell is playing is a brutal fight trainer of slaves - I haven't read the script but he was to play a truly evil man, according to reports, and Kurt Russell can certainly play that. This is a thrilling addition to DJANGO UNCHAINED and I'm anxiously anticipating the finished film.
Nordling, out.

Tarantino and Russel work great together.
-
FUCK YES!This is 100% win in every way possible.
-
I love the thought of Tarantino using Russell in a LOT of his movies.
-
Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown...they're all SO godddamn good...Kill Bill was kind of fun, but not really anything substantial. I HATED Death Proof with a goddamn passion and Inglorious Basterds really didn't do anything for me either. I hope he makes a return with this one. My fingers are crossed.
-
the guy canny act.
-
BOOM!
-
BEST NEWS THIS MONTH!
-
I'm not a Tarrantino fan. I did like Deathproof though. However I wish it was Russell as Jonathon Kent instead of Costner. Russell is a terrific and way underrated actor.
-
Kevin Costner can bugger right off. I hope Tarantino gets another rad performance from Kurt and wins him some sort of Oscar. Kurt for president of the world.
-
havent seen much russell but ive herd good things. but fuckin slj, mike k williams, chris waltz and leo discaprio and i guess jamie foxx? fuck yea

Kevin Costner isn't fit to eat the peanuts in Kurt Russell's poo
by bobo_vision
-
At least Harry will be able to look over and know it's okay to laugh during Django Unleashed
-
To hell with haters, that's a solid movie regardless of the fact he only speaks about seven sentences.
-
Now only if he could wake Carpenter the fuck up!
-
I believe Russell was originally supposed to play Costner's role in BULL DURHAM, but Ron Shelton fucked him over or some shit.
Anyhow, Costner was an intriguing choice for DJANGO UNCHAINED, and I was at first disappointed to hear he had dropped out.
But not anymore. Kurt Russell is great. -
...during the screening, is it okay for us to laugh, too??
-
One of the rare nice guys in Hollywood.
-
Russell plays second string to NOBODY dammit! That's almost as outrageous as comparing Tarantino/Russell to Carpenter/Russell. I AM OUTRAGED!! DIRECT ME TO THE QUICKEST ROUTE TO THE OCCUPY WALLSTREET HACKEYSACK TOURNAMENT!!
-
Untouchables is probably the only film I like him in. But I like Connery even more. That movie is totally Sean's film.
-
nice.
Beats Untouchables 2, eh? -
Perfect!! KR will be perfect. Now this is a guy I've always called the anti-Travolta. Meaning, his involvement almost always guarantees a good movie.
John Travolta has made Three good movies, IMO. Overpaid asshole. -

Is "Must Have Portrayed Wyatt Earp in a Hollywood Feature"...
by ravenink
on the casting call or something...
Hahaha, jk, this is actually awesome news. Tarantino and Russell are awesome both as individuals and as a team. -
Really? And I don't have anything against the guy. He made some fine movies in the late 80s/early 90s, and I'm not quite sure what happened to him. Him and Val Kilmer. Two, total W.T.F. career trajectories.
Anyway, I had no idea that Costner was in a position to pass up on work.
Of course, that said, I'll take Kurt Russell in a Q.T. movie, anytime. -

I watched Escape from LA in the middle of the night recently
by autodidact
3AM in the middle of an all nighter is the right time to fire up a movie like that. 'twas enjoyable.
-
Would have been great in this role, and it's a shame he had to leave. The Hatfields and McCoys mini series is something he's been trying to get made for years, so it's not like he suddenly decided to drop one for the other, the TV series was always on his schedule. I guess the filming dates of one suddenly changed or he was hoping that Tarantino would wait for him.
Still, Kurt Russell will be great in this, as he always is. He's the only reason to watch the otherwise-terrible Death Proof. -
I forgot about that movie... the one where the opening titles are underlaid by computer generated metallic scorpions fighting to the death in the hot desert sun. Subtle!
-
...that's when I'll start to look forward to this.
-
...have you ANY IDEA how successful Dances With Wolves was?
Kev can afford to do whatever the hell he wants. -
Has it ever been discussed how John Carpenter talked Kim Cattrall into being hogtied and gagged to the bed in that one scene? Is there maybe a commentary track on the dvd that sheds light on this? It's just something I've always wondered about.
-

I thought Kurt Russell turned down Expendables because he wasn't interested in 'ensemble work'
by themagicalhornofguntata
Oh, well, you live and learn. Maybe he has a bigger part in this one.
-
Great call, Russell is as badass as they come
-

And if any headline actually deserved an ! it's this, and AICN forgot for the first time ever
by jackslater4
-
Kim Katrall is a whore. She will agree to being hogtied to a bed if you buy her a snickers bar.
-
He's Hollywood as hell but the man was so damn ahead of his time with so many of his roles that he's sort of--fuckit--easily the most successful cult legend of all time. Any Kurt is good Kurt, and Tarantino-Slave Warrior Trainer-Kurt is probably gonna be some pretty fuckin good Kurt. I wonder what Quentin at his best could do with Bruce Campbell... why haven't we found that out yet?
-
Kurt Russell turned down Expendables because he knows a shitty script when he reads it.
-
I think that qualifies as "ensemble" work?
-
Right on bro.
-
Kurt Russell is the shit - THE SHIT - but I would have loved to see what Tarantino could do for Costner.
-
and Russel is far too likeable to play a villain. Also Jamie Foxx in the title role kills this project for me. Fire that clown.
-
Too much wimpy new-age junk world people and not enough Kurt Russell kick-assery!!
-
as long as there is Foxx I have serious doubts that this film will be any good. Good 'ol Jamie has hurt every movie he was in.
-
If Kurt drops out, they're gonna have to bring James Garner out of retirement
-
Russell is a guy, along with people like Michael Keaton, that I often cite in wondering "why are they not in more high-profile movies?" Great actors. Still have their looks. Reportedly great guys to work with. Have more than enough resume to support them. So where have they gone?
And considering Tarantino is somewhat of a "resurrector of careers," I hope this does for Russell what "Pulp Fiction" did for Travolta. He fucking deserves it.
Now we just need a badass starring vehicle for Mike Keaton. -
Did anyone else see that Warner Bros is in talks with Chris Nolan and Alfonso Cuaron about a new "Twilight Zone" movie? Holy fucking geek boner.
Other names mentioned were Rupert Wyatt(rising star, perhaps), Michael Bay(worst tonal fit for Twilight Zone ever), and David Yates(eh)... but, CUARON AND NOLAN? FUCK YES. -
That WB doesn't want to do an anthology. They're negotiating with all of those guys with plans to only hire one of them to do a full, feature-length Twilight Zone movie.
Thats fucking lame. The prospect of Nolan, Cuaron and even Wyatt all directing separate 30-minute segments had me fucking giddy. -
Yup. This is the kind of shit I pray for. Keeping Kevin Costner from being miscast.
Then to get Kurt on top of it. It's like a bonus from the invisible man in the sky. Woo Hoo.
Now if Jamie Foxx would only drop out, it will be absolute proof of God--unless he does, but then Will Smith gets it instead.

Soldier???? I fucking love Kurt Russell but Soldier could quite possibly be the worst movie Kurt Russell's ever been in. And yes, I'm counting Capt. Ron. It's not his fault though. I blame that complete fucking hack Anderson.

This sounds like a win win situation if you ask me.

I wish Sally Menke (his editor) was still alive to help QT make this
by future help
the best movie he can. Great news about Kurt. Wish we could get Chris Tucker in it for 10mins too. I do worry that without Sally, this QT flick might be missing something substantial. Here's wishing good fortune upon this Movie
-
I always felt Tucker was playing Smokey (an 8yr later version w/ realistic growth of the character) and QT killed him and that character in Jackie Brown. cool

I looked over and Kurt Russell was laughing pretty hard, so I guess it was okay.
by buffywrestling
-
But okay. There's nothing wrong with Kurt. Except he doesn't seem evil at all to me.
-
of his awesome acting talents, something he really hasn't done since bull durham...but, i think russell in a tarantino movie is way better than costner in a tarantino movie. the feel, the vibe, the awesomeness that is kurt lends itself better to a tarantino world. this is great news. can't wait.

Amazing. I never picked up on that one.

Fucking loved. Even though Mighty Kurt is picking up the slack, I still can't help feel a bit disappointed.

To ask me to choose between them is unfair. It's like the Sophie's Choice of movie picks - like if I had to choose between Sophie's Choice & Schindler's List.

Totally off topic, except for the possibility that Kurt Russell has also been playing the BATTLEFIELD 3 BETA for the last few hours...
But what a mess! This game has been so touted and looked so incredible in all the presentations. It's really rather crap - wasn't expecting this it at all.
I know it's only a beta but the finished product is only few weeks from release so how much better can it be?
Anyone else disappointed with it? -
you mean the Death Proof FLOP?
-
thing about Kurt's meme.i knew it started from a Death Proof review but i couldnt find the article.thanx again.
-
killik, I was going to buy it too. I'd have been there first day because the clips looked so awesome - but the Beta seems like a totally different game. Looks bad and plays bad. Really disappointing.
I'm going to wait to read the reviews now for the retail product. -

-
You know what ol' Jack Burton always says at a time like this?
-
no theres nothing wrong with bf3 at all. yes it has bugs but this beta is almost a month old by now and all the major stuff has been fixed or in the process of being fixed.
as for some of you not liking the gameplay decisions - i'm happy with the damage model and i like infantry maps so metro is good for me.
i didnt get to play caspian border cq but even the naysayers like you who got to play caspian completely reversed their opinions and proclaimed bf3 to be true battlefield.
they said they'd add the commo rose and presumably the squad system will be revamped (apparently it was perfect in alpha and now its nonexistant, weird) - bottom line, we just need to wait till release to see how amazing it will be. i'm sold on the beta alone anyway. -
jamf, did you play it on PC? I've been playing the beta on PS3 and it almost seems like a last-gen game.
I know the console version was never going to look quite as good as the gameplay vids that were released -but honestly it comes nowhere close to what was shown in the build up. V. disappointing.
I don't mind the damage model either, I think it helps differentiate it from COD when you die from one bullet. But the washed out visuals make it hard to see who shot you, so sometimes it feels like you've just died randomly. -
ps. vader, sleep my Sith friend. Time to go to your meditation chamber my Lord.

Fuck! it's getting like inception now! a meme within a meme ..... -
the beta doesnt have the best graphics options switched on anyway, the pc version doesnt and it still looks great.
-
was a Grey's Anatomy episode. It's like the equivalent of "Jump the Shark". I think Christina Ricci had a guest star episode where she blew up removing a grenade from a guy's chest or something.
I don't watch that shit but it was after the Superbowl. -
watch Mr Brooks
-
Costner - Academy Award Winner Costner - is doing Direct To Video movies. It's fucking embarrassing.

i am saving money for a GTX 590 but the damn thing after all these months is still in its initial 700e price.i hope in Christmas,prices will decrease a bit otherwise i wont be able to play BF3 until next year.

with Russel back as Snake obviously.
the Escape series just seems right for QT. i imagine hed get the feel of the 1981 classic -
producer or co director or something

Fox can't act? Those who say that didn't even bother to watch Ray.
by ganymede3010
One of the best Oscar worthy portrayals of all time. I was stunned on how great his performance was. He was also awesome in Collateral too.
-
Oct 01, 2011 5:44:02 AM CDT
And Will Smith is a pussy who's afraid of losing his White Audience..
by ganymede3010
I don't even know why Tarantino would approach him in the first place. There's no way he'll deal with any material that would deemed controversial.
It's a shame because he'll never win an Oscar on his current trajectory. He plays everything to safe. Fox is going to knock this out of the park. I'll guarantee you that Will Smith will end up regretting not taking this role, just like he now regrets not playing Neo in the Matrix. -
Oct 01, 2011 5:45:52 AM CDT
Russell will do evil things then at the end will be a Bitch
by chien_sale
Just like in Death Proof. I guess Costner didn't want to be treated like a bitch.
-
Kurt's all right but Costner could have made magic with the part. He's naturally a touch of Southern.
-
I love Kurt Russell in everything and I'm sure he'll be great in this movie but he's never recycled his own piss before. (in a movie that is, I've no idea what he gets up to in the privacy of his own home).
-
I've watched countless grindhouse flicks, and Tarantino made one just like it in my opinion. Sure there was a lot of talking in one place, but that's what those films usually had. Just a couple of locations, lots of doing nothing, with a couple of big scenes with stuff you'll never forget. Even though I liked Planet Terror a lot better(grindhouse should have started with death proof and ended with planet terror) Death Proof was basically the film you always hoped those grindhouse films would have been. But in reality never were.(read as delivered what the poster promised).
I'm sure Kurt Russel ill be great in Django as well, like he is in almost everything I've ever seen him in. Say what you will about him, but he is a versatile actor. From his early disney films, to his John Carpenter collaborations, to the soldier he played in Stargate. All very different characters, but he has always been believable. Looking forward to Django Unchained very much. If only Jamie Foxx xould dro out as well!(preferably to be replaced by Brian Cox) -
To replace Jamie Foxx too. Gah please, anybody but him. How about Don Cheadle or Chiwetel Ejiofor. Anyone!

-
Can you believe almost all the women I have the misfortune to know have this HUGE thing for this idiot? Then again, they're all middle aged.
I swear, I live in an alternate universe. YUCK!! -
That being said, I sense that Russell will butcher the southern accent slightly less
-
...was inspired by the trailer for the flop 2001 sci-fi movie Impostor, where one character delivers that hilariously overwrought line.
-
He can certainly act. However, that Hollywood smile he sports is about as distracting in a period setting as all those botoxed-to-fuck faces we have nowadays. His 'teeth' look like a boxer's gum shield or something drawn on a cartoon character.
-

re: "Am I the only one here that actually liked death proof?"
by scratchmonkey
The first half (up to the death-crash) was good stuff. However, the second half, with that Zoe transgendered guy hanging off the front of the car, was boring as all fuckery. I've got no idea how you can make a real-world car stunt dull, but Tarantino managed to pull it off.
-
"Ray" is the exception to the rule. Foxx can't act for shit - the film was one long Ray Charles impression, which confused people into believing he was a good actor. Big difference.
-
Nope. I've seen it 3 times projected, and twice at home. Love it. I'm old though, and it reminds me of shit I grew up on at the local Drive In--nostalgia might have something to do with it.
-
1) It was exactly what it was supposed to be: a grindhouse goof, and was fun as that, but nothing else.
2) Foxx can act, but usually doesn't. I think Tarantino will pull it out of him.
3) Smith would have been great fun. He probably didn't do it because Tarantino couldn't afford him. Smith is WAY above QT's paygrade. Why should he take a pay cut to appear in a movie that will be fun, but a lightning rod for people pissed at some of the imagery?
4) To hell the idea of Smith worried about alienating white audiences. White folks are going to flock. But I can promise black women are going to be pissed. I mean, I'm gonna love it, but have you READ that shit? Talk about powerless sex objects with no internal life. Pure QT fantasy. -

what about Costner and Russell in the Tarantinoesque 3000 Miles to Graceland?
by cartmanez.
i quite enjoyed that...well the 1st hour with the heist and hotel was ok anyway
-
Would have liked to see Costner in the role, but I dig Russell a lot.
Mostly I want to see what QT can make of Foxx. -
Kurt Russell is great in Death Proof, but everything else about it is dreadful. Especially that truly awful kiwi stuntwoman who seriously can't act. She makes me want to gouge out my own eyes and chew my ears off. What was QT thinking?!
-
what QT was thinking was that "Zoe Bell would be awesome in this film" and you know what?; he was fucking right.
-
... a little bit.
my interest in QT films was really sagging.
Inglorious brought back some of my enthusiasm, but the synopsis of Django doesn't jazz me.
but I'll watch anything with Snake MacReady Jack Burton Plissken in it. -
You're obviously both on the same medication then.

All the effects will be janky and full of stop motion and bad optical compositing. I believe this will be the greatest movie of all time. Then he's doing a Tarzan movie.

I was attending the Rocky Horror 25th Anniversary convention at the Hard Rock in Vegas. They were also at the time shooting 3000 Miles To Graceland. Anyways, there was a little person at the convention dressed as Rocky and he was approached by the movie people to be a tiny Elvis impersonator. You can see him in a few scenes......he even gets shot. I just think it was funny that he was cast at a Rocky Horror convention.

So this is a very good thing.
-
If this were the first pairing of Kurt & QT, I'd be super excited. Now . . . sweet . . . yay . . .
-
And, if so, how hard?
Great news, BTW. -
just as long as it's via surfboard.
-
This is excellent news.
-
sorry, QT and Michael Mann say go fuck yourself. Did you people not see Ali and Ray?
-
whose careers were on the decline, Tarantino probably would have gotten an excellent performance from him and revived Kevin Costner's career. That's what QT does. He did it for John Travolta. He did it for David Carradine. If it was Costner's choice to leave the project, that was a mistake.

kevin costner is resposible for his own demise
by danielnocharismacraig
By directing and starring in those two ego fests otherwise known as waterworld and the postman, he sealed his own fate. Unforgivable. Personally im not too excites by this project of tarantinos. Not because I think it will turn into dreck, but I just am tired of seeing racial themed movies that hollywood produces which portray white men as sadistic and evil all the time. Im just over that.
-
He'd been making small movies before Kill Bill and didn't break through after Kill Bill, so how was his career revived?
-

Oct 01, 2011 2:34:54 PM CDT
Actually Costner was perfect for this role,but Russel will do nevertheless.
by killik
Welcome to the human race.
-
Where did this guy go wrong? Twenty years ago he was arguably the biggest star in the world. Then he got obsessed with the post apocalypse with Waterworld and The Postman. Career was never the same.
What ever his scheduling conflict is, he should of moved mountains to fix it. -
Where did all this Foxx hate come from? There is definitely a "mob mentality" on this site. At least everybody loves Kurt in unison.
-
Cruise, too, for that matter.
Man, did Miami Vice suck all the balls in the universe, though. -
Have to admit he was pretty great in Collateral. Consider me corrected.
-
but hated Death Proof. Whatever.
-

xiphos_2, thanks. Soldier could have been better, but not due to Russell.
by grammaton cleric binks
I heard he was offered the role, said yes, but said let's wait a year while I get jacked. The rest is history. I loved the damn training sequence.
-
give it some time and Russel's Todd character will be as cult as the others of his.
Sandra:How do you know they'll be back?
Todd:Because they're soldiers, Sir. Like me.
Sandra:Why are they doing this?
Todd:They're obeying orders, Sir. It's their duty.
Sandra:Do you know how many there will be?
Todd:Seventeen more, Sir.
Sandra:Oh my God, you can't fight seventeen more on your own, you have to organize us. We're not cowards, we'll do as you tell us, we'll fight.
Todd:No.
Sandra:Why not?
Todd:Soldiers deserve soldiers, Sir. -

fun fact: the bomb-in-ribcase Greys anatomy was homage to another similar show
by rkdn
Trapper John M.D. was the original "bomb-in-ribcage"
-
Costner is lame but I wanted to see him do evil. Russell is cool and is a pretty safe bet to deliver the goods.
-
It sucked when I heard Costner was leaving, but replacing him with Kurt Russell?!? Thats even better!
-
Unbelievable! I was hoping for this, but didn't want to hold my breath. "Death Proof" was fuckin' brilliant (if ya didn't love it, ya didn't get it) and Russell is gonna take "Django"s badass quotient to a whole other level - AGAIN!
Fucking AWESOME!!!!
-
Death Proof was fucking terrible, as well as being both a box office and critical disaster. Weird definition of 'great success' there, even if you are one of he few that actually liked the film.
That said, Kurt Russell was the best thing in Death Proof, Hell, he was the only decent thing in Death Proof full stop. And this piece of casting is very welcome, as is any chance we get to see Kurt Russell in hopefully a significant and kick ass role. -
So do Michael Biehn, Dennis Quaid, Michael Wincott, Lance Henriksen, and Harrison Ford for that matter. Good roles in good films for each and every one of them, make it so.
Hell, get someone like Shane Black and put them all in some Wild Bunch type ensemble piece, and then we can all bask in the potential greatness. -

Death Proof wasn't as bad and unliked as you haters try to claim
by winona_ryders_pussy_juice
There are lots of people that liked it, myself included.
It ain't perfect, but it ain't shit, either. -
Ive gotta agree. They all deserve comebacks. Except maybe Dennis Quaid. He got his chance in Day after tomorrow. And he FAILED. They all failed with that one.

So I looked over and Βrian Coxl was laughing,so i guess Alien must be a good movie.

Rumor has it Kurt Russel was Laughing all the way through it. Due to no small part by Brian cox' performance as Cain.
-
He sure isn't getting hired by anyone else is he? The last movie I saw Kurt in was, you guessed it, a QT movie! And a craptastic QT movie at that!
I am optimistic about this one though, I liked Inglourious Basterds a lot. -

So, this is another movie where people sit around and talk about what's going to happen next?
by dursman2000
INGLORIOUS was like the A-TEAM in WWII except everyone sat around talking about what was going to happen instead of, you know, actually watching it happen.
Overpraised crap. -
I hear ya. The only thing I'm holding out hope for is uncharted 3. The second one blew my balls into my face. Did wonders for my rosy complexion.
-
can you believe that laughing meme is four years old? Holy shit! I hope that, four years from now, Brian Cox is mentioned and we can all feel even older when we start making Alien jokes, then realizing that we've devoted at least* eight years to film's red-headed stepchild and his bizarre anecdotes.
*I still remember the Armageddon crying review, but have never really posted anything until I saw that no one had taken a cheap kurt russell AICN shot in the twenty minutes since the article came up. -
And if he screws up, they're gonna go with James Garner, and if HE screws up, they'll dig up Henry Fonda, and if HE screws up, Will Geer has the role.
-
Id love to see him in this movie, not just coz he was in the original Django but he's perfect for a role in this.
-
It doesn't feel like a true QT movie without him around. Roth was what made RD and PF exciting.
-
FUCK YEAHH!!!!!
-
TONY JAA IN THIS !!!!
-
And was threated like a bitch at the end of Death Proof
-
how much love Kurt Russell is getting in this thread. If anyone in Hollywood deserves our geek love and respect, it's that man. And it seems to me that that would be a unanimous descision. Good on ya, Kurt. Keep rollin' and we'll keep on watching.

Bad enough someone made The Help. Wait? This is a movie centered around slavery times? My interest just went to nonexistent. Hollywood can't stop churning these films out.
by the founder
Im tired of films like these. Why is this and any story set during pre civil rites is where some actual quality is put forth involving a black cast? Oh and Rhodes films where the white teacher goes to the inner city to a tough and dangerous high school and save the blacks and Latinos.
-
not-me, I agree Uncharted 2 was a true classic.
I'm actually really looking forward to the new SSX game due out early next year.
It's a little bit off the radar but I LOVED the old SSX Tricky game when that was out a few year back now. -
Racist . . .

With great success? Death Proof was the worst thing QT's ever done!
by juansanchez

Kurt should rock this shit.
-
Sounds awesome with Carpenter as consultant, it would be the best shit ever. Lets make it happen. Also loved Death Proof. It was basically Snake driving in the car.

DAMN...WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO A GREAT AGAINST-TYPE COSTNER PERFORMANCE IN THIS ONE

I AM A MASSIVE COSTNER FAN, BTW. I THINK HE IS CRIMINALLY UNDERRATED BY MOST HERE.

I WANT TO SEE COSTNER AND MICHAEL KEATON TOGETHER IN A TARANTINO MOVIE
by darth busey
-
I gotta side with Kurt.
I was hoping to see Costner chanell some darkness with this, but Russell will be great. A movie he did a few years ago, "Dark Blue" where he played a crooked cop was excellent. He played a real bastard in that. -
Schedule conflict!
-
Kurt was the only good part of Deathproof. The girls and their incoherent, stupid dialoge exchanges is the worst parts.

Off topic, I had no idea Stephen Lang played Ike in Tombstone
by kidicarus
Just found that out perusing IMDB.
-
Not that Russell won't bring it as a bad guy, but maybe a Tarantino movie could be the "comeback" role Costner needs to be an "A-lister" again. It's too bad. He only really made one shitty movie (The Postman), and since then he's been something of a pariah in Hollywood.
-
The rest was pure boring junk
-
He was awesome in that role.
-
My nipples are so hard that I could dial the phone with them.
Seriously, that news got me so worked up a little pee squirted out .....
