Will Smith And Idris Elba Want To Play Slave In Quentin Tarantino Film

Will Smith and Idris Elba are said to be battling it out for a controversial role in a new Quentin Tarantino film.

As previously reported, Big Willie was said to be up to star Quentin Tarantino's Western film Django Unchained.

Now Idris Elba's been subliminally mentioning that he's up for the same part, “a freed slave who seeks to reunite with his slave wife and take down an evil plantation owner.”

 

According to the NY Daily News, Elba's vying for the role and took to Twitter to write,

"Having one of the biggest meetings of my professional life today, meeting a very controversial director for a very controversial part."

 

And when followers speculated it was the role in “Django Unchained”, he neither confirmed nor denied the reports.

“I wish I could tell you more but...in due time... On the plane to the destination of my fate... ok... a lil dramatic... destination of my life."

 

Will Smith is currently filming Men In Black III in New York City.

Who do you think would do the film justice?

Idris or Will Smith?

    Idris is the better actor, but Smith has the star power....lets go with Stringer Bell since he has to go gangsta on a plantation owner

    Will Smith will never get this role... he's too lightskinned.

  • cookiemonster

    I pick Idris he should do it. He seems more suited for the role and would probably add depth to the story.

  • Tonto Kawalski

    THEY SHOULD GET DON CHEEDLE BLACK AZZ TO PLAY THE PART. OR DEE BOO.

  • Concerned

    Neither Smith or Elba should take this role. I don't care who the director is, blacks can do without another slave movie. Black people have so many other stories to tell besides the issue and legacy of slavery. If this film is made I am urging the black community to stand up and boycott ! Don't give your hard earned money to white people who only see you in a certain light.
