Sacha Baron Cohen wasn't the only star Quentin Tarantino wanted to feature in Django Unchained to no avail.

The Big Picture Quentin Tarantino has openly celebrated the notion that his films "steal" from every movie that came before, beginning with his feature directorial debut Reservoir Dogs which took heavy inspiration from City on Fire. In 2012, the writer-director made his first entry into the Spaghetti Western genre, even naming the film and its character after Sergio Corbucci's Django from 1966.

What Happens in the Deleted 'Django Unchained' Sequence? Those who read Tarantino's screenplay for Django Unchained may be surprised to find a 10-page character arc that completely deviates from what we saw in the final movie.

Sacha Baron Cohen and Jonah Hill Were Both Attached To Play Scotty Harmony Originally, the role went to Jonah Hill who was still in his 20s at the time and was known for playing roles in Superbad and Knocked Up. However, his scheduling conflicts forced him to drop out, presumably to finish 21 Jump Street. The role was then offered to the 41-year-old Sacha Baron Cohen who took on the role despite being older, taller, and skinnier than the script detailed.
