Is Will Smith Taking A Step Back...Starring As A Slave?

Kill Bill director Quentin Tarantino is in talks to produce a Western flick that will star Will Smith. But if Will signs on for the film, he'll be playing a slave.  Deets inside....
Quentin Tarantino has been discussing his next project called Django Unchained which will be "(A) western whose lead character is a former slave who is in league with Waltz to save his wife from an evil plantation owner." 
And Quentin, who has always expressed his love of Black culture, wants Will Smith to star in the flick.  But that means Mr. Smith would appearing as a slave.  Would that be a step back for the world's biggest movie star?
Hmmm.....it could be the type of role that causes Will to pull on a set of acting skills we didn't know he had.  And it seems like he would still be a hero in the film so...maybe the storyline could work.
Would you go see it?

Also in Will Smith news, he was forced to relocate the movable mansion we told you about, to a vacant lot earlier this week.  It seems like most SoHo residents were unimpressed with his big trailer and big ego.
