Waltz is playing a German bounty hunter who helps the lead character, being played by Jamie Foxx, scour the American South in search of his wife, who is being kept as a slave on a plantation run by a man named Calvin Candie, played by Leonardo DiCaprio.

Waltz’s camp confirmed the injury, releasing the following statement: "Christoph Waltz was injured while training with his horse in preparation for his role in Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained.

"Waltz is currently being treated for a dislocated pelvic bone and is looking forward to getting back in the saddle.”
