Hollywood star Will Smith will feature in Antoine Fuqua’s upcoming slave thriller Emancipation. The film scripted by William N. Collage is based on the true story of a runaway slave named Peter, who has to survive ruthless hunters and a vast stretch of punishing swamp if he must escape to freedom.
Production is expected to start early in 2021. The unit of the film, co-produced by Smith, was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Smith also had to pause filming of the biopic King Richard, where he portrays Richard Williams, the father and coach of tennis superstars Venus and Serena Williams. — IANS
