20 Things You Didn't Know About Django Unchained
2. Frank Ocean Wrote An Original Song That Didn't Feature
2012 was a breakout year for Frank Ocean as a solo artist. His debut album Channel Orange was met with universal acclaim and the desire for a quick follow-up. Several years would pass before his next album but Ocean did write a song specifically for Django called Wiseman. Unfortunately, it didn't make the movie.
Tarantino explained to Fuse that he loved the song but it didn't fit any scene: “Frank Ocean wrote a fantastic ballad that was truly lovely and poetic in every way, there just wasn’t a scene for it. I could have thrown it in quickly just to have it, but that’s not why he wrote it and not his intention. So I didn’t want to cheapen his effort. But, the song is fantastic, and when Frank decides to unleash it on the public, they’ll realize it then.”
