Smith was set to star in an upcoming film on Netflix called “Fast and Loose,” but unrelated to the Oscars occurrence, director David Leitch had to drop from working on the project due to a scheduling conflict. However, with the recent happenings, no one is really pushing to work on a film with Smith, and the movie is getting moved to a lesser priority.
“Netflix put out an urgent call for another director to take over a project featuring the star who was heavily favored to win the best actor at the Oscars. But soon after Smith’s attack on Chris Rock on the Oscars stage, Netflix quietly moved the project to the back burner,” The Hollywood Reporter stated.
Additionally, a new film called Bad Boys 4 was also currently being developed, “but will now pause. A few other projects in pre-production are likely to do the same,” according to a source from The Hollywood Reporter.
The joke was about Pinkett Smith’s shaved head, which she had to do after suffering from a hair loss condition. That’s why Smith got as offended as he did. However, Smith did apologize for his actions, but apparently, that’s not enough in the eyes of Hollywood.
“I would like to publicly apologize to you, Chris,” Smith had written in a public apology to Rock. “I was out of line and I was wrong. I am embarrassed and my actions were not indicative of the man I want to be. There is no place for violence in a world of love and kindness.”
Do you think Rock was out of line to make a joke about Jada? What other consequences do you think Smith should face for slapping Rock?
