Giddy'up, Tarantino fans!

The first official images from Quentin Tarantino's Spaghetti Western "Django Unchained" have arrived. Pic, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, Jaime Foxx, Sacha Baron Cohen and Christoph Waltz, is currently filming outside of New Orleans and scheduled for release December 25, 2012. The Weinstein Company is distributing in the U.S.

Written and directed by Tarantino, "Django" centers on a slave-turned-bounty hunter (Foxx) who sets out to rescue his wife from a brutal Mississippi plantation owner (DiCaprio).

Sony Pictures is co-financing "Django" and will handle international distribution.

The Weinstein Company is hoping to get back in the awards biz, this time with director John Hillcoat's prohibition-era thriller "Lawless."

Featuring an all-star cast including Shia LaBeouf, Tom Hardy, Mia Wasikowska and Gary Oldman, "Lawless" will play in competition next month at the Cannes Film Festival before opening Stateside on August 31.

Jessica Chastain and Guy Pearce co-star in the drama.

Originally dubbed "The Wettest County," the gangster film was initially slated for release April 20 before TWC pushed back the date after playing well in test screenings.

The film, based on the novel by Matt Bondurant and adapted by Nick Cave, centers on brother bootleggers (LaBeouf and Hardy) who take the law into their own hands during the Depression.

IFC Midnight has acquired North American rights to Rodney Asher’s documentary “Room 237,” which concerns the theories surrounding Stanley Kubric’s iconic horror pic “The Shining.”

“Room 237,” produced by Tim Kurk, debuted at the Sundance Film Festival in January.

IFC Midnight will release the film later this year.

“Rodney Ascher has made a brilliantly constructed film that will bring joy to cinephiles and the curious around the world,” Jonathan Sehring, president of Sundance Selects/IFC Films said in a statement.

Variety film critic Rob Nelson, who called “Room 237” “one of the great movies about movies,” noted in his review that Ascher’s doc contemplates the relationships between the late Kubrick's 1980 affront and the Holocaust, the TV depiction of the Apollo moon landing, the genocide of Native Americans, and numerology.

The film’s full title is "Room 237: Being an Inquiry Into 'The Shining' in 9 Parts."

For the last 15 years, I have had the opportunity to work with incredibly talented people on behalf of the world’s best loved brand. During that time, we’ve told some amazing stories around the world, created successful TV programming, movies, and franchises that generated new opportunities for the company in the process.

I’ve always said our success is created and driven by our people – whom I consider to be the absolute best in the business. But, the best people need to be in the right jobs, in roles they are passionate about, doing work that leverages the full range of their abilities. It’s one of the leadership lessons I’ve learned during my career, and it’s something I’ve been giving a great deal of thought to as I look at the challenges and opportunities ahead.

I believe in this extraordinary Walt Disney Studios team, and I believe in our strong slate of films and our ability to make and market them better than anyone else. But, I no longer believe the Chairman role is the right professional fit for me. For that reason, I have made the very difficult decision to step down as Chairman of The Walt Disney Studios, effective today. It has been my honor to work with such incredible teams – at Disney Channels Worldwide and The Walt Disney Studios and the many other Disney businesses I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with. I know I leave the Studios in good hands and, even on separate paths, I am confident we are all destined for continued success.
