First photos from the set of Django Unchained may cause deja vu for Deadwood fans

It shouldn’t come as much of a surprise that though Quentin Tarantino’s DJANGO UNCHAINED is being loosely classified as a “Southern”, it nevertheless looks to be bearing all of the resemblances of a classic Western.

Actor Garrett Dillahunt (LOOPER, COGAN’S TRADE) visited Tarantino’s set on the famous Santa Clarita Melody Ranch – backdrop to many Hollywood westerns – and uploaded some pics to his Twitter profile. As Dillahunt nostalgically points out, the set was also home to HBO’s fantastic “Deadwood” (in which he also starred):

“Visited the set of Django Unchained today… it looked familiar. Actually kinda choked me up a little bit… it’ll always be Deadwood to me.”

DJANGO UNCHAINED opens this Christmas.
