And just like that teaser promised yesterday, we now have our first real look at Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained in an official first trailer.

According to the people who know about these things, the trailer is essentially just a fancier recut of the 10 mins of footage that was shown at Cannes recently to much fanfare. It does however omit the King of Polyester, Don Johnson, who apparently stole the show. Guess we’ll just have to wait for the inevitable second trailer for that.

In the mean time, you can have a look at Jamie Foxx killing white folk and gettin’ paid for it.

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…
