Mean Business on North Georgia Street will follow two police officers as they partner up try and solve a series of attacks against the police department in a Missouri town. The two detectives then become targets themselves and have to take on the criminals before its too late, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

The film will be based on the upcoming crime novel by S. Craig Zahler, who will also write the script. There has yet to be a director announced, but DiCaprio will also take on the role as a producer of the film with his Appian Way production partner Jennifer Davisson Killoran.

Django Unchained received many accolade for the performances of Jamie Foxx, Leanardo DiCaprio, Christopher Waltz and Samuel L. Jackson. The Quentin Tarantino film received Oscar nods for Best Picture, Best Supporting Actor, which Waltz won, Cinematography, and more.

The announcement of the Foxx and DiCaprio collaboration comes on the same day as Foxx’s new film White House Down with Channing Tatum. The film has received poor reviews so far, but hopes to rake in with the onscreen collab of the two big named actors.

Critically acclaimed actor Leonardo DiCaprio has been a busy man lately, and he’s ready to take a break from making movies.

DiCaprio told a German newspaper that he’s going to take time off from the silver screen to enjoy life and focus more on his environmental charities. “I am a bit drained,” DiCaprio told Germany’s Bild newspaper. “I’m now going to take a long, long break. I’ve done three films in two years and I’m just worn out.”

DiCaprio has been working like a mad man during the past two years, shooting three films back to back to back: Quentin Tarantino’s Django Unchained, which has been a hit at the box office, Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby and his fifth film with Martin Scorsese in the forthcoming The Wolf of Wall Street. But if you expect DiCaprio to sit back idly and twiddle his thumbs, you’d be sadly mistaken.

DiCaprio plans on using the time off to raise awareness about global warming and the threat it has on our planet. “I would like to improve the world a bit,” he told the daily. “I will fly around the world doing good for the environment.” And he’s not afraid to put his money where his mouth is.

“My roof is covered with solar panels. My car is electric,” added DiCaprio. “A normal person does not drive more than 31 miles a day. That be done with a plug.”

After all that work i’d say he’s earned a break.

Django Unchained is the new Quentin Tarantino has been marred in controversy ever since it’s release on Christmas day. Many African American groups have called it offensive towards black people and says it brings up bad memories of the way black people were once treated in this country.

The controversy doesn’t stop at the movie either. The Django Unchained action figures that the studio was planning to released have been cancelled after advocacy groups such as Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and Project Islamic Hope called for a boycott of the figurines.

The Weinstein Company, which financed the film, reached out to the toy company tasked with making the action figures and told them to halt production ASAP. The toy makers agreed and stopped production almost immediately, saying they never meant to offend anyone. The company only made about 1,000 figurines before the stop order came in.

The Rev. Al Sharpton and members of his National Action Network called for a boycott today after action figures based on Quentin Tarantino’s new movie “Django Unchained” appeared on Amazon.

“Selling this doll his highly offensive to our ancestors and the African American community,” NAC president Rev. K.W. Tuloss told the Daily News. “The movie is for adults, but these are action figures that appeal to children. We don’t want other individuals to utilize them for their entertainment, to make a mockery of slavery.”

Those opposed to the action figures were not necciserily opposed to the violent film itself. Activist Najee Ali representing the Project Islamic Hope said that he had gone to see the movie twoce already. “I actuall enjoyed the movie, but we cannot support this type of commercialization,” he said.

This is only the latest controversy sparked by the film which stars Jamie Foxx as a slave turned bounty hunter in search of his wife.
