Below, we have a couple of different photos from two anticipated action films. First up, a cool new still image of Jamie Foxx (Ray) as the titular character in Quentin Tarantino's highly anticipated Western movie Django Unchained, which also stars Christoph Waltz (Inglorious Bastards), Leonardo DiCaprio (Inception) and Samuel L. Jackson (Marvel's The Avengers). The film will be released in theaters this Christmas. Below is the official plot synopsis:
Set in the South two years before the Civil War, “Django Unchained” stars Academy Award®-winner Jamie Foxx as Django, a slave whose brutal history with his former owners lands him face-to-face with German-born bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Academy Award®-winner 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 and Schultz’s search ultimately leads them to Calvin Candie (Academy Award®-nominee Leonardo DiCaprio), the proprietor of “Candyland,” an infamous plantation where slaves are groomed by trainer Ace Woody (Kurt Russell) to battle each other for sport. Exploring the compound under false pretenses, Django and Schultz arouse the suspicion of Stephen (Academy Award®-nominee Samuel L. Jackson), Candie’s trusted house slave. Their moves are marked, and a treacherous organization closes in on them. If Django and Schultz are to escape with Broomhilda, they must choose between independence and solidarity, between sacrifice and survival…
Additionally, Coming Soon has debuted a new set photo from Paramount Pictures' Jack Ryan reboot, which will serve as a prequel to the Tom Clancy novels. The following image (which is from the first day of shooting in Manhattan) features our first look at Chris Pine (Star Trek) as the title character cruising downtown streets. The movie, which is directed by Thor's Kenneth Branagh, also stars Kevin Costner (Man Of Steel), Keira Knightley (Pirates Of The Caribbean), and Branagh himself. The movie is expected to hit theaters December 25th, 2013.
