Will Smith’s Apple Film ‘Emancipation’ Gets D.C. Screening, Good Reaction

Will Smith may be back in company earlier than later on — an essential job of his that was stopped briefly appears on track to see the light of day after all … this after a strong test screening.

The beleaguered star — who’s still attempting to fix his image after the Oscars slap — was on hand Saturday at the Congressional Black Caucus Foundation’s 51st yearly Legislative Conference, which was hosted by the NAACP … with a lots of honchos there too.

WS was standing beside director Antoine Fuqua, who was at the helm for their brand-new flick, ‘Emancipation,’ while describing to the audience why he’d been so averse to servant films throughout his profession … however keeping in mind, he didn’t actually see this movie because lens, per se.

Will states this film is, more so, about determination and decision — and simply the sheer will to make it through and be totally free. He likewise discussed the character he’ll be depicting, “Whipped Peter,” whose pictures from the 1800s (revealing scars on his back) went viral in its day.

As far as the real film itself … the word is, it’s extraordinary and rather effective — with a variety of folks promoting its significance for African-American culture, and America at big.

The jibes with all the buzz surrounding ‘Emancipation’ prior to Will hit Chris Rock on nationwide television — there was a great deal of talk of Oscars, and based upon how individuals are reacting … it seems like that may still hold true — despite the fact that Will would not have the ability to go to any event.

As all of us understand … the man was banned from participating in Academy Award reveals for 10 years. Assuming Apple launches this thing in the next years — which they most likely will — and WS is really in contention … another person would need to go up there for any prospective wins.
