Sacha Baron Cohen: Quentin Tarantino's Latest 'Django Unchained' Addition?

The quantity of casting news regarding Quentin Tarantino's approaching Western movie, 'Django Unchained,' continues to be staggering. It appears not really a week passes with no new star coming onboard, which trend continues: Based on Variety, Sacha Baron Cohen is closing in on the deal to experience a little-but-natural part within the film. When the 'Borat' star eventually ends up signing on, he'll join a cast that already includes Jamie Foxx, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington, Frederick Gordon-Levitt, Samuel L. Jackson, Christoph Waltz, Kurt Russell, Don Manley and also the RZA. 'Django' is much like the 'New Year's Eve' of prestige movies! 'Django Unchained' follows former slave Django (Foxx), who heads to the plantation to free his wife (Washington) in the evil owner, Calvin Candie (DiCaprio). On the way, he will get the aid of a fugitive hunter (Waltz). The Quentin Tarantino-directed film is scheduled hitting theaters on Christmas Day 2012.
