The image of the 2022 Oscars that will be remembered for years to come is without a doubt the frightening slap in the face of Will Smith in Chris Rock, after Rock made jokes about Will's wife who is undergoing treatment where she is trying to save her hair health.
Many artists had made fun of the situation, with Smith deciding to leave the Academy of Motion Picture and Performing Arts, which could end up compromising the future of the actor's career.
The great proof of this, the Netflix appears to have given up on producing the new film that would have Will Smith as the main protagonist, which shows that the actor's reputation may be seriously compromised. And after all the controversy that happened between Will and Rock, the streaming platform ended up silently announcing the end of the partnership with the actor who was a huge success in "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air".
A little about Fast and Loose
The idea behind Fast and Loose was to tell the story of a powerful crime boss who loses his memory after suffering an attack. When he manages to piece together the clues, he discovers that he actually had two identities, one with the image of a successful crime lord and the other of a CIA agent who has no money.
Apparently, Netflix was very concerned about its image due to the latest event involving Will Smith and because of that, it decided to back down. It has also not yet been decided whether the streaming giant will return with the project and with new directors and actors.
Series in which Will Smith participates is in post-production
At the moment, the series Emancipation, in which Will Smith would be participating, is in post-production on Apple Plus. The platform's goal was to release the series in 2022, but there has not yet been confirmation of an official date.
In other projects that the actor would also be involved in, all in pre-production, it is most likely that due to the controversial moment when Will Smith if he got involved, make the scenes pause. Therefore, we can only wait to see if Will Smith will be able to recover from this situation or if this could be a sad end to his career.
