The “Apple” digital platform decided to postpone the release of the action movie “Emancipation” by American actor Will Smith for an indefinite period, after it was scheduled to be shown next fall.
And according to the American magazine Variety, the company that produced the film had promoted the film weeks before the Oscars incident, and critics considered that Will Smith’s slap to his colleague at the last Academy Awards ceremony will affect the promotion of the film, whether Smith was involved or not, they said.
Variety quoted one of the directors, who asked not to be named, that before the Oscars, those behind the new work saw early clips of the film and said, “Will will win back-to-back.” At the time, the quote was referring to him winning Best Actor for “King Richard”.
The magazine stated that “Emancipation” director Antoine Fuqua has a deep thought in the post-production stage and may not be ready in time for its release at the end of the year as he had promoted, and the film was subjected to many delays due to the transfer of production from Georgia to Louisiana in protest against the voting restrictions laws in State, devastation from Hurricane Ida and shutdown due to COVID cases in August 2021.
While Apple Original Films did not comment on the decision to postpone the release of the film, informed sources said that “everyone knows the unspoken truth of the reason for the delay.”
