![Jamie Foxx Says 'Django' Will Be 'Amazing'](https://www.essence.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/images/2011/07/05/jamie-foxx-movie-242.jpg)
“I think, just to be able to work with Quentin Tarantino and Samuel Jackson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and to be able to tell a story that needs to be told… it’s just amazing,” Jamie said.
The Oscar-winner stars as Django, a freed slave who teams up with a German bounty hunter on a daring mission to rescue his lover from malicious plantation owner Calvin Candle (Leonardo DiCaprio). Samuel Jackson will play Candle’s helpmate and confidant, Stephen.
A tentative release date has been set for Christmas Day 2012.
