Django Unchained

[Pookie]

"Tarantino wants to cast Will Smith but I think that this is a horrible mistake especially when there is another actor that fits the character so much better.".

 

[Batutta]

I think Harvey Weinstein is the one that wants to cast Will Smith and Tarantino is going along with it. QT has always has outside the box casting ideas, but I think it was perceived that Brad Pitt's star presence elevated the profile and gross of Inglorious Basterds and Weinstein is trying to replicate that model.
