Tarantino’s “Django” Sets Late Press Junket for December 15-16

Share

Quentin Tarantino may be riding to the rescue of the 2012 holiday film season, but it will be at the very last minute. Messages have just gone out from The Weinstein Company to hold December 15th and 16th for the junket days for “Django Unchained” with Jamie Foxx, Christoph Waltz, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kerry Washington and a cast of thousands. Waiting for word on what this means for awards voting by the New York Film Critics and some other groups from November 30th through about December 6th. Of course, this does give him time to show the film to the awards groups, then go back and tinker a bit before the press sees the movie. “Django” opens on Christmas Day, and can’t be soon enough as far his fans–including this writer–are concerned.
