Will Smith is the frontrunner to star in director Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained," reports Variety.
The spaghetti western style film follows a slave named Django who teams with German bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz on a mission to rescue his wife from a sadistic plantation owner.
No official offer has been made to Smith, but Tarantino would like Smith to star as Django.
Christoph Waltz is eyed to play Schultz who trains Django and helps him on his quest.
Samuel L. Jackson is being sought to play Stephen, the expert manipulator and house slave of the plantation owner.
Brad Pitt was said to have been offered a major supporting role but passed.
Shooting looks to kick off in the South, possibly Louisiana, this Fall.
