To the untrained eye, these images from the set of DJANGO UNCHAINED look like any other western. The set is only a half-built clock tower away from BACK TO THE FUTURE PART III, or a foul-mouthed Lovejoy short of DEADWOOD – and for good reason.
The set for Quentin Tarantino’s latest film (a ‘southern’ rather than ‘western’, apparently) is located at the famous Melody Ranch Studios, where a host of wild west flicks have been shot over the years. ANNIE OAKLEY, RIN TIN TIN, LAST MAN STANDING and MAGNIFICENT SEVEN were all filmed at the famous location, proving that whilst Tarantino often subverts genre traditions, he is rarely strays too far.
Check out the set pics below.
DJANGO UNCHAINED stars Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Christophe Waltz, Samuel L. Jackson, and Kurt Russell. It arrives in UK cinemas December 2012.
