Best Picture Nominee "Django Unchained" Showing Soon in Philippine Shores

Columbia Pictures' critically-acclaimed “Django Unchained” will open in Philippine cinemas on March 13, 2013. The film is written and directed by Quentin Tarantino and stars Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio and Samuel L. Jackson. Set in the South two years before the Civil War, “Django Unchained” revolves around Django (Jamie Foxx), a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz). Schultz is on the trail of the murderous Brittle brothers and only Django can lead him to his bounty. The unorthodox Schultz acquires Django with a promise to free him upon the capture of the Brittles – dead or alive. Success leads Schultz to free Django, though the two men choose not to go their separate ways. Instead, Schultz seeks out the South’s most wanted criminals with Django by his side. Honing vital hunting skills, Django remains focused on one goal: finding and rescuing Broomhilda (Kerry Washington), the wife he lost to the slave trade long ago.



“Django Unchained” is distributed by Columbia Pictures, local office of Sony Pictures Releasing International.
