It may not be Hollywood’s best kept secret, but we can finally reveal that Samuel L. Jackson will reunite with Quentin Tarantino for the fifth time, in Django Unchained.

Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown is arguably some of Jackson's best work, so it comes as no surprise that the actor has signed up for one of Tarantino's movies again.

Jackson has been confirmed to play Stephen, the right hand man of Leonardo DiCaprio’s merciless slave owner Calvin Candies.  

The film boasts an all star cast with Jamie Foxx as Django, Christopher Waltz playing German bounty hunter Dr. King Schultz and Kevin Costner rumoured to star as Ace Woody.

Django is a freed slave who assists a German bounty hunter. In return for his aid, the Bounty Hunter will help Django get revenge on the cruel Plantation owner Calvin Candie, who has kidnapped his wife and seeks to put Django in chains once more.

Django Unchained is currently in pre-production, with filming set to begin in 2012.
