Holy shit, how thankful is Kevin Costner to be working at all, especially in a Tarantino pic?

Django is a 1966 spaghetti western. And no doubt Tarantino has a love for the westerns, especially spaghetti westerns.

Nothing wrong with that, I'm just saying it's awful close to dingo.

Costner's out. Kurt Russell has replaced him.

I'm not all that psyched about Russell being in, Costner out.

does Costner's ego allow him to be in any movies he doesnt direct?

Owl_Farmer · **Posted:** Wed Oct 05, 2011 2:38 pm

What ego? The guy hasn't been in a decent film in like 15 years.

yeah me too. I like Kurt Russell, don't get me wrong, but Costner has this deadpan persona about him that I like for the part.

What do you mean "real" vs. "cinematic"?

I think he means genre pictures. If Kill Bill was his samurai/kung-fu movie and Grindhouse was his American B-movie, then Django Unchained will be his spaghetti western. I don't know that it's really a fair assessment on Randy'z part. Tarantino has always played with genre rules and expectations.
