Smith saw a love story in Django Unchained
It's no secret that Quentin Tarantino originally wanted to get Will Smith for the lead role in Django Unchained . The film could become not only the director's debut attempt to make a western, but also the first experience of working with this actor. However, Smith refused the role, after which the choice of Tarantino fell on Jamie Foxx, who, despite constant comparisons with his predecessor, coped with his task perfectly.At that time, journalists were talking that Smith turned down the role, so as not to tarnish his perfect screen image with such a"bloody"picture. Now, knowing that the actor has signed up for Suicide Squad, such assumptions seem implausible. Previously, Will himself said that he did not agree to work with Tarantino , because the real leader of Django was the character of Christoph Waltz, but not the title character. However, in an interview with representatives of The Hollywood Reporter , the actor finally named the real reason for abandoning the project Tarantino :“The problem was the vision of the story itself as a whole. For me, the plot of a guy trying to free his wife in bondage was perfect. It's just that Quentin and I didn't agree ... I really wanted to star in this film, but on one condition - if it was a story about love, not revenge. ”  Tarantino really wanted to create a true revenge film that would reveal the problem of slavery. The very same love line in the tape, although it faded into the background, but served as a source of strength for the struggle Django for his future.
