London, May 8 (IANS) Actor Will Smith is tipped to play the lead role in director Quentin Tarantino's new film.
Tarantino has revealed that he has finished scripting for "Django Unchained", a Spaghetti Western, a nickname for a broad sub-genre of Western films.
The new film will pay tribute to Italian director Sergio Corbucci's original "Django" and Japanese filmmaker Takashi Miike's "Sukiyaki Western Django", reports contactmusic.com.
The film will centre on a freed slave, who under the mentoring of a German bounty hunter becomes trained as an equally cut-throat assassin, ready to seek revenge against the owners of a plantation.
