Will Smith’s ‘Emancipation’ Set for Release

The thriller Emancipation, starring the winner of last year’s Oscar best actor, Will Smith, will be released later this year.

Reports say it will be open in cinemas on 2 December and will be available to stream from a week later, making it eligible for next year’s Oscars.

Smith resigned from the Academy and has since apologized to comedian Chris Rock, who had made a joke about his wife.
