Will Smith Might Be Losing Some Jobs
Will was supposed to do a movie for Netflix called “Fast and Loose” . . . but it just got shelved . . . at least for now. That also seems to be the case for “Bad Boys 4”.
Will already filmed a movie called “Emancipation” for Apple, and it’s in post-production. It’s supposed to come out sometime this year, but there’s no release date. Apple hasn’t responded to questions about its status.
On Friday, Will officially resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which he may very well have done to avoid being KICKED OUT.
He called his actions at the Oscars, quote, “shocking, painful, and inexcusable.” He also apologized Chris Rock again, along with Chris’ family, his own friends and loved ones, and everyone in attendance and watching the show from home. He added, quote, “I betrayed the trust of the Academy. I deprived other nominees and winners of their opportunity to celebrate and be celebrated for their extraordinary work. I am heartbroken.” He also said he will accept whatever consequences result from the Academy’s upcoming disciplinary hearing
