    People are focusing on the “violence begets violence” in the title but not this:

    “I wanted to make that movie so badly, but I felt the only way was, it had to be a love story, not a vengeance story,” Smith said.

    And… I get that? I liked Django and all, but I can see how Will might not like the bloody climax where the focus is more on the revenge than rescuing his wife. I think it’s fine he passed on the role and let it go to someone who was more invested with the revenge story.

      I don’t think, I know. Django Unchain is incredible.

      Will has ruined so many good ideas because he’s still living in the 90s where actors had the power to change scripts. And every time Will interfered with a story, it watered it down/made it shit.

    Reminds me of how Jim Carey refuses to do movies with guns in them, and because of that, all the cops in the Sonic movies, including the main cop character, have these ludicrous “almost gun” things.
