* CutSong: Music/{{Radiohead}} were asked to write a song for the film, but both of their submissions -- "Man of War" and a TitleTrack -- were rejected (the former because it was an ''Music/OKComputer'' outtake, which made it ineligible for a "Best Original Song" Oscar, and the latter because it was considered unfitting). Both tracks ended up seeing release elsewhere: "Man of War" was included on the bonus disc of the ''OKNOTOK'' reissue of ''OK Computer'', while "Spectre" was released as both a non-album single, as the B-side to "Burn the Witch", and as a bonus track on the special edition of ''Music/AMoonShapedPool''.
