Less than a year after Will Smith accepted an Oscar the same night he slapped host Chris Rock on live TV, the actor is back on screen with another Oscar hopeful: emancipation on AppleTV+.
Directed by Antoine Fuqua (Training Day, infinite, what is my name: Muhammad Ali) with a screenplay by William N. Collage, emancipation is an odd hybrid of a clichéd Civil War slave drama and an action-packed chase film. (At one point, Will Smith fights an alligator with his bare hands and wins.) Smith plays an escaped slave named Peter, a character inspired by the real-life slave named Gordon, whose whip scars were photographed and used to mobilize the abolitionist movement at the end of the Civil War .
While it seems unlikely that emancipation will get the nominations for the awards the filmmakers are hoping for — thanks to Smith’s ongoing malevolence in Hollywood and the tepid critical response to the film — many may still be curious about Smith’s post-Slap “comeback.” Read on to find out how to watch emancipationincluding the time emancipation will be released on Apple TV+.
