Despite his controversy at this year's Oscars, Will Smith's next movie Emancipation may get an awards season release date after all.
Though originally eyeing a 2023 release, Will Smith's new movie Emancipation may get an awards season release after all. Based on a true story, Smith stars in the historical action-thriller as a slave named Peter who escapes after nearly being whipped to death and flees to the North to join the Union Army in the Civil War.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Emancipation has been in the works since mid-2020, with Smith and Fuqua being attached to the project and sparking a heated bidding war among studios, with Apple ultimately winning the auction with a hefty $130 million bid.
Given what occurred at this year's Oscars, it may prove interesting to some that Apple may aim for an awards season release for Emancipation after all. With nearly six months now gone since Smith slapped Rock during the Oscars, it's understandable some may have ultimately moved on from the matter entirely, namely as attention has moved towards another bit of reported celebrity feuds with the cast and crew of Don't Worry Darling.
Should the reports of Will Smith's new movie getting an awards season release be true, it will be interesting to see whether Emancipation will be given the same welcome at the Oscars as test audiences gave it. Smith has already resigned from the Academy and been banned from appearing at the ceremony for 10 years after the slap, though he is still eligible to receive a nomination or win, making the film a potential comeback for the star.
