Sounds like a typical "epic fail" from Spike Lee.

And some of the best, with a knowing nod to '70s blaxploitation.
I didn't see Spike Lee giving Sam Jackson and/or Pam Grier a LEAD role in any of his movies (never mind both at the same time).
You dont take an Oscar winner serious on film?
Jamie's Oscar win was on the freakish side. A stunning imitation. Otherwise he's been a fairly limited actor, who can't carry a film by himself. Best in supporting dramatic roles.
but he got a oscar tho right blunt?

What has he done since his Oscar though.
no it wouldnt but fuck hollywood. in this day and age you can finance your shit and put it out if you want to.
if robert townsend did it
these new dudes can do it too.
and i'd pay to see that shit too.
The average film costs over $100M. No one's financing a MAJOR film by themselves.
Bullshit.
Okay, it's actually an average of $65M for Production and $35M for Prints and Advertising. Add 'em up.
I've never seen a bad Tarantino movie, so I know this shit is gonna be good.
Jamie can do it, but Leo has done it since he was a kid...watch "This Boy's Life" or "Gilbert Grape"....Basketball Diaries was so haunting...he played damn near 5 characters/personalities in that movie alone; now he's killing it in Aviator and Departed and more...Like I said, Jamie has to bring it for this
If done right Quentin could really rack up some Oscars with this film.
Waltz could get himself a second Oscar
Foxx could win his second one
DiCaprio could win one as well
Tarantino could finally win his directing oscar.
I've read the script and it's great.

Kinda jumping the gun there.
(And where's Kerry Washington in your list, or whoever plays the female lead. I'll bet right now that THAT'S the part that will really stand out.)
Notice I used the words "if done right".
I Forgot about Broomhilda/Kerry Washington; I hope Quentin doesn't pussy out on the nudity.

robert townsend financed that movie by himself and it became a major film.
same shit with paranormal activity
blair witch
etc
etc
those MAJOR films didn't cost anywhere NEAR 1 million dollars to make so don't even think about throwing out the 100 million dollar figure.
and j.d. i don't think this film is going to degrade blacks.
i don't agree with much of his work BUT in this case i think this should be a story told.
revenge on a slave master i can get behind that.
Exactly, because a film about slavery is suppose to be all rainbows and butterfiles so let's portray it like that.
Where would you get that idea about this movie?? If anything, it likely MYTHOLOGIZES blacks into supremely heroic figures. Which is a good (and entertaining) idea. Same way Tarantino turned Jews (and a French black man) into UNLIKELY badasses in Inglorious Basterds.
Nothing. Like just about every other Oscar winner..
You mean like the character Denzel won an Oscar for playing in Glory?
You're a dumb ass. How can you compare "Glory" to "The Nigga They Couldn't Kill". When every single nigga in Glory got killed.
VOLUNTARILY (for the greater good), dumbass. So that idiots like you could post nonsense on boards like this.
The average film costs over $100M. No one's financing a MAJOR film by themselves.
Then don't make an average film. Duh.
Bitch I told you never to address me. I swear if I ever see you I'm sending you back to Haiti on a raft in trash bags.
Quentin doin a slavery movie??? Awwww shit. This cracka'll have Jamie or Sam gettin fucked by DiCaprio or some shit. Niggas'll run to see this bullshit too.
i don't think so.
the premise of the story already eliminates most of my fears about the shit.
leo is the slave master who stole his wife.
jamie is out for revenge meaning leo is the evil guy and jamie is the hero in this movie.
sam is going to be the house negro and try to protect leo more than likely.
but let's not forget jamie is the hero of the movie not leo.
quentin tarantino is the director. Look how many actors turned down the role because jaimie ate the scraps. Yeah, he maybe a hero or an affable character, but so was Ving Rhames' character in pulp fiction before he got raped. EVERYONE knows that wop will have all kinds of rape scenes and N words hurled every 2 minutes.
Why are you so pressed to see this shit?
im not pressed to see it.
its a lack of our own selves tackling a subject like this so we have to wait for someone like him to do it.
me personally i would rather spike lee or fuqua or the hughes brothers or even possibly singleton to do a movie like this but they either can't get this type of movie made or don't have the desire to make this type of movie.
and by this type i mean a movie about slavery where we aren't the vitcim and we get some sort of revenge against the slave master.
rhames was never the hero he was always the big bad black dude.
but like i said just in basic premise alone leo is the evil guy sam is the house negro and jamie is the hero along with the guy that's supposedly helping him get his wife back.
its different and compelling and i want to see how it turns out THOUGH like i said i would much rather some of the other directors i mentioned direct the movie
I don't know if that's true. Look at the movie roles he had before the Oscar, than look at his roles/success after.
2 platinum+ albums
1 hit reality TV show that survived 2 seasons
His sitcom is in syndication
Y'all love bootlegging his radio show
Oscar nod for Dreamgirls
Law Abiding citizens was a hit
Due Date
Valentine's Day
The Kingdom
etc...
Considering his movie roles before the Oscar, I'd say it opened a lot of doors for him. In fact, if he never won the Oscar, Quentin probably wouldn't even consider Foxx for this movie.
