Video of the day. Trailer for Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained"

Who would have thought a film about slavery would appear to be so lighthearted? The first trailer for the new Tarantino is here.

As usual, Tarantino's newest project has everyone's attention, and the first trailer suggests that Django Unchained has some similarities with Inglourious Basterds in its tongue-in-cheek approach to blending genre and history. We're especially looking forward to Leonardo DiCaprio's playfully villainous turn as "Calvin Caddie"—just about as far as he can get from what we're used to.
