The first shots of the highly anticipated Quentin Tarantino pre-Civil War slavery film ‘Django Unchained have arrived. Peep the photos below (from EWeekly):

‘Django Unchained’ is set in the Deep South, and follows Django (played by Jamie Foxx), a freed slave who travels through the United States across America with Dr. King Schultz (played by Christopher Waltz), a German dentist turned bounty hunter. The film features a stellar supporting cast, including Kerry Washington (Django’s kidnapped wife Broomhilda), Leonardo DiCaprio (sadistic plantation owner Calvin Candie), Samuel L. Jackson (Stephen, one of Candie’s lead slaves), and Sacha Baron Cohen (unnamed slave owner). The film hits movie theaters nationwide on December 25, 2012. SOURCE
