WILL SMITH RELEASES EMANCIPATION' TRAILER Emancipation follows a runaway slave (played by Will Smith) who goes through a treacherous journey to escape the slave owners who almost killed him. The film also stars Ben Foster, Steven Ogg, Mustafa Shakir, Charmaine Bingwa, Grant Harvey and Ronnie Gene Blevins.
In a report published by Variety in July, it was reported that Will Smith was Hollywood's second-highest earner due to Emancipation. It was reported that the 54-year-old would be making $35 million (R601 million) from the film.

This was the hardest movie I've ever made. Blood, Sweat & Tears LITERALLY! Shoutout to Apple who doubled (and tripled) down on their commitment to deliver this epic story to the world, wrote Smith while sharing the trailer.
The film is set to be released on 2 December.

This seems like a true work of art and I'm sure it is! I DON'T want to see a million and one tweeps about the slap Emancipation has a message and a story to tell. Let's look for it, wrote one tweep.
So powerful. Really happy for Will Smith and this film. This is a must-see for me. Looking forward to it, wrote another tweep.
Cannot articulate how much respect I have for Apple in putting this out and not condemning Will for eternity, like some of the sheep are attempting to do.
