The Oscars Slap Is Already Affecting Will Smith’s Career
According to a recent rumor, Will Smith’s forthcoming projects have been put on hold as a result of the Oscars scandal.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Will, who shocked the world when he punched comedian Chris Rock in the face for making a crude joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, has put a Netflix production and a Sony feature on hold.
THR reported that Netflix was looking for a new director for “Fast and Loose” after David Leitch dropped out of the movie before of the Academy Awards. Smith was supposed to play a crime leader with a bad memory.
Sony has also halted production on “Bad Boys 4,” which had been ramping up in anticipation of the awards event. The Apple+ slave play “Emancipation” is already finished, and the liberal privilege has left the building where he is now. He is no longer able to vote on films. Studios are now turning away from him. The studio is a short distance away. Will Smith is a difficult person to work with.
