Kevin Costner is negotiating to play a sadistic bad guy in Quentin Tarantino's "Django Unchained," an individual close to the project confirmed.
He's in talks for the role of Ace Woody, the sort of nasty that Tarantino specializes in.
The script focuses on a German dentist-turned-bounty hunter (to be played by Christoph Waltz). He buys a slave (Jamie Foxx) who can identify a man the bounty hunter is looking for.
The bounty hunter and the slave become friendly and set out to rescue the slave's wife from the vicious Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio is in that role). Woody is one of Candie's henchmen.
Tarantino wrote and is directing the film.
Costner recently been in a run of smaller, quieter dramas like The Company Men and Swing Vote, but it looks like Kevin Costner really is stepping his career back up. He’s already getting set to play Jonathan Kent in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel....
