Likewise, media such as Deadline pointed out that the film has generated good reviews, and although it is rumored that the drama could be a good candidate for the next edition of the Oscar, it is unknown if what happened with Smith would affect being able to achieve a nomination or the actor is considered. , because after beating Chris Rock he is banned from the movie party for 10 years.
Let us remember that Will Smith after the altercation earlier this year, had returned to social networks sharing activities of his day to day and even joining viral challenges. For example, the actor had kept a low profile about his next projects, as various production houses would have decided to break any employment or sponsorship relationship after the slap he publicly gave, during the live broadcast of the promotion.
As in the case of Smith, other public figures who have had problems with their public image have also shared their new projects to recover it, such as Johnny Depp who, after winning the trial against Amber Heard, the actor has claimed.
In August, it was announced that recovering his image in the film industry, the star of “Pirates of the Caribbean” announced that he will direct a film about the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani and will co-produce it with the famous Al Pacino and Barry Navidi. .
