More woes for Will Smith as new reports claim that the timelines for two of his new projects have been changed since the Oscars drama, where he slapped Chris Rock on stage for mocking his wife’s medical condition.
A sequel to Will Smith’s December 2017 Netflix big-budget sci-fi thriller, Bright, has been canceled. According to a report from a Bloomberg reporter, Lucas Shaw, the cancelation was not related to the incident where Will slapped comedian Chris Rock at the 94th Academy Awards.
In the original film, Smith starred as Daryl Ward, an LAPD detective in a version of LA where humans coexist with a number of different mystical creatures. He was slated to reprise his role in the sequel.
The original film according to reports, was not received well by critics but was reported at the time to be one of the biggest film releases ever for the streaming service. However, after four years, the film has officially been canceled.
Smith slapping Rock has had ongoing reverberations in Hollywood particularly in a delay in several other of his projects including an action movie called “Fast and Loose,” that is in development at Netflix, according to a report from Bloomberg.
