As announced last summer at San Diego Comic Con, Tarantino’s original screenplay is adapted by producer Reginald Hudlin and drawn by R.M. Guera (SCALPED) and Jason Latour. DJANGO UNCHAINED extends the movie experience for those who want more. Readers can immerse themselves in the original story, as Tarantino first drafted it, in a whole new way by experiencing scenes that may not have made it to the film, much like ‘deleted extras’ on a film’s DVD.
In his acceptance speech, Tarantino said, "I have to say in both the Original and Adapted categories, the writing is just fantastic -- this will be the writer's year, man. I love the competition." The award-winning director/screenwriter also talked about his desire for the characters to live on past the silver screen. Well, now they live on in the form of the DJANGO UNCHAINED six-issue comic book series.
And congrats to Christoph Waltz, who also got a nod as Best Supporting Actor for his portrayal of Dr. King Schultz.
