First look at Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained

Well, this is exciting! The first official images from Quentin Tarantino‘s spaghetti western Django Unchained have arrived online. And, in news that should shock no one, they’re great!

The images come courtesy of EW. In the first pic, we get a glimpse of the eponymous freed slave Django (Jamie Foxx) and his mentor, the bounty hunter Schultz (Christoph Waltz).

But here’s the money shot: Leonardo DiCaprio as evil plantation owner Calvin Candie. That hammer isn’t going to be used for renovating his estate, if you know what I mean.

Kerry Washington, Sacha Baron Cohen, Kurt Russell, and Samuel L. Jackson also star.

Django Unchained arrives in Australian cinemas January 24, 2013.
