Apple hopes you’ll forgive Will Smith by Christmas

Despite Will Smith’s Oscars slap, Apple will be releasing an upcoming film starring the actor this year. Emancipation, which stars Smith as Peter, a man who has escaped slavery and is on the run to try and return to his family, will debut in theaters on December 2nd and on Apple TV Plus on December 9th, according to Deadline. Apple has also released a teaser trailer.

Variety reported in May that Emancipation was going to be delayed to 2023, but we now know that’s not the case: you’ll be able to watch the film this December.
