Jonah Hill to have a super bad role in "Django Unchained"

     "The 'D' is silent."
     Other than The Dark Knight Rises and The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey my most anticipated film for the remainder of 2012 has to be Tarantino's upcoming Django Unchained.
     As some of you may or may not know Jonah Hill (who is apparently in every film now) was once attached to the film and then left.  Well now he's back and we finally know what his role will be in Django Unchained.
     "Entertainment Weekly" writes that Hill will be playing a member a of Ku Klux Klan-esque group called "The Regulators"* although Tarantino did not reveal Hill's character's name.  Who are "The Regulators" you ask?  Tarantino states they are:

“a group of people who kept slaves in line, found them if they escaped, and terrorized them.” The scene features a Regulator raid against Foxx and Waltz’s bounty hunters. “It starts off like it’s going to be very scary,” explained Tarantino, “And then they have this sequence that’s one of the funniest things I’ve ever written. Right up there with handing out the color names in Reservoir Dogs.”

     Although I'm not the biggest Jonah Hill fan in the world I respect the fact that he wants to do movies outside of his comfort zone.  Playing a character who is part of a KKK like group of people is definitely well outside of said zone.  I think the last thing he wants to be is a Chris Farley retread.  Hill's role in Moneyball was very impressive and he's set to begin filming on Martin Scorcese's The Wolf of Wall Street next month.  Tarantino and Scorcese, two directors that know talent when they see it, so let's just say I trust their judgement.
     Django Unchained releases Christmas Day this year.


*Whenever I hear the world "regulators" I think of one of three things:
1--"Regulators mount up!"  from Young Guns
2--The 90s rap song by Nate Dogg that quotes from Young Guns.  I remember one line in particular that goes, "15 in the clip and one in the hole Nate Dogg is about to make some bodies turn cold.  They're dropping and their yellin' but they're a tad bit late.  Old Nate Dogg had to regulate."
3--The novel "The Regulators" by Stephen King
