Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained Set For Christmas 2012

We're still waiting on final casting announcements but it looks like everything is moving into place. The Weinstein Company has set a December 25th 2012 release date for Quentin Tarantino's Django Unchained.

An R-rated film isn't uncommon for the holiday season as David Fincher's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo is marketing itself as "the feel bad film of Christmas". Not to mention Quentin's Jackie Brown also dropped during the holidays with the tagline "Santa's got a brand new bag". This also seems to conflict with previous thoughts that Django could end up with a speedy post-production like with Basterds for a Cannes 2012 premiere. It sounds more reasonable that it could have it's premiere during the Venice Film Festival.
