Jonah Hill once was considered a funny man, having been in films like Superbad and Knocked Up, but now the actor has taken a shift in his career, appearing in films like Moneyball. He will continue that shift by returning to the set of Quentin Tarantino‘s Django Unchained.

Hill was originally attached to appear in the film, but had obligations for another project. Now that his schedule is clear, Deadline is reporting that he is coming back to shoot a role in the film, just not the one he was originally set up for.

Last week we brought you the exciting first trailer for Quentin Tarantino‘s spaghetti western film Django Unchained. But like most domestic trailers, the international trailer exceeds it in terms of quality. And that’s what we are getting with the new trailer for the film. Check out the new international trailer below.

While there isn’t that much new footage in this new trailer, the additions have more dialogue from Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Django (Jamie Foxx). Some of the footage that was seen in the first trailer is shown in this trailer, but from different angles. It really doesn’t change my interest in the film, but I am wondering why they chose to present it this way.

Those lucky enough to attend the Cannes Film Festival got to see a sneak peek of Quentin Tarantino‘s upcoming film Django Unchained. As you can imagine, those who saw it said it was nothing short of brilliant. So while we await footage from the movie to appear – it has been confirmed that there is a trailer attached to Prometheus – we got a collection of new photos, which should be more than enough to whet your appetite.

Tarantino’s spaghetti western-esque film star follows Django (Jamie Foxx) has he partners up with a German dentist turn bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz) to rescue his wife (Kerry Washington) from twisted plantation owner Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio).

Cameras may have already started rolling but a few cast members are finding it difficult to commit to the film schedule for Quentin Tarantino‘s Django Unchained. A couple of weeks back Joseph Gordon-Levitt had to pull out of his role as one of two slave trading siblings because of his commitment to his directorial debut. Now comes word that Kurt Russell and Sacha Baron Cohen will no longer be appearing in the film, which is currently shooting for a December release.

Cohen made the announcement of him exiting the role on The Howard Stern Show, citing scheduling conflicts with his press tour for The Dictator as the reason why he had to exit the project. There is also the issue of shooting his role in Tom Hooper’s Les Misérables that comes into conflict with shooting his cameo in Django Unchained.
