Will Smith's 'Emancipation,' to be released this year, gets a trailer from Apple.

 

Will Smith's next film, "Emancipation," will be released in 2022, rather than this year's awards season. Apple made the announcement on Monday, along with the release of the first trailer for the Antoine Fuqua-directed historical drama.

"Emancipation" hits theatres on December 2 and will be available on Apple TV+ on December 9.

Though "Emancipation" was originally scheduled to be released in 2022, Apple decided to push it back to 2023 after Smith became embroiled in a controversy for slapping Chris Rock onstage at the Academy Awards. 

The embattled actor has since publicly apologized for his actions, sharing an emotional video online in June, but has largely remained out of the public eye since the Oscars.

That initial delay has now been reversed in all but name. Apple was once regarded as a potentially formidable Oscar contender. 

After becoming the first streaming service to win the best picture with "CODA," the company was gearing up to campaign for a slew of buzzy titles this fall.

Summer releases such as Sundance favorite "Cha Cha Real Smooth" and Skydance Animation's "Luck" have not maintained momentum, Peter Farrelly's "The Greatest Beer Run Ever" was a critical flop at the Toronto International Film Festival, and Martin Scorsese's mega-budget western "Killers of the Flower Moon" will not be ready until 2023.

With Apple's slate of prestige titles becoming increasingly limited, "Emancipation" is seen as the company's best chance to make an impact in the upcoming Oscar race. The film, written by Bill Collage and produced by Todd Black, Joey McFarland, and Jon Mone, stars Smith as a runaway known as "Whipper Peter."

The final episode of the drama aired today, and fans were disappointed by the drama's incomplete and sad ending. They believed Zoya should have forgiven Junaid and that they should have met. Many fans felt that the ending could have been better because they were hoping for a happy ending because Junaid repented for what he had done.

They claimed that the ending had been ruined by the producers. However, some fans felt that the ending was satisfactory because Zoya made her own decision, which was priceless. 

"Few endings are painless, few endings are painful but priceless, so Zoya decided her own fate, which was empowering," one fan said.

 They enjoyed the drama's ending as well as Mikaal and Madiha Imam's acting abilities. Many fans were disappointed at the end, saying they were hoping for a happy ending and Zoya and Junaid's wedding.

A Comprehensive Overview of the 2nd Annual Great American Christmas Slate

Indeed, holly and jolly! With its second annual Great American Christmas lineup, Great American Media is ready to get viewers in the holiday spirit.

Since mid-2022, the network, which has been competing with Hallmark Media since its inception in 2021, has gradually rolled out its holiday movie slate. Us Weekly published an exclusive first look at Great American Family's A Merry Christmas Wish, which will air later this year, in June.

Cameron Mathison (as Dylan) and Jill Wagner (as Janie) star in the holiday film, both of whom had long careers with Hallmark Channel before joining forces for this 2022 Christmas story.

"I'm Dylan." "I think people will love Dylan because he loves Christmas," Mathison told Us in an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the endearing story.

"Because you make her so authentic and likable and sweet and sensitive and also, at the same time, conflicted," the former Home and Family cohost said of Wagner's character.

After Mathira credits Aamir Liaquat for the actor's career, Tuba Anwar chastises her

 

The late televangelist Aamir Liaquat Hussain's ex-wife, actor Syeda Tuba Anwar, has spoken out against violence against women and the victimisation it frequently leads to. In an interview, she talked about her personal experiences and how the Noor Mukadam case affected her because she was going through a "similar moment."

TV anchor Mathira expressed her disapproval of the comparison Tuba made between herself and Noor in a comment made in response to a statement from her interview that was posted under the article of a local magazine. Mathira wrote to Tuba and said, "Aamir Bhai didn't kill you; he provided you a career and other things. Never compare." Mathira prayed for safety for "every female" before calling Tuba's comments "attention-seeking bullsh*t."

Before responding to her comment, Tuba stated that she had made an effort to speak with Mathira privately in an effort to resolve the issue. Tuba's call was "cut," so she made the choice to react in a public setting.

Have you seen and read the interview before making such a crude and uninformed decision? I'm sure you haven't, Tuba said, before addressing the issue head-on. She followed up with an explanation and said that her "real statement had been lost in translation," maybe hinting that she hadn't meant to say what the statement appeared to indicate.

Robert Pattinson Tried to Rebrand the "Twilight" Films

The release of the last movie in the Twilight Saga was almost ten years ago. The Twilight films are a bit of an exception, though. Nobody anticipated the first movie to become as successful as it did. 

People were intrigued by the romance between the human Bella Swan and the vampire Edward Cullen, nevertheless. Although there was a lot of romance in the movie series, Robert Pattinson never wanted viewers to lose sight of how bizarre the movies actually were.

The "Twilight" films, in Robert Pattinson's opinion, are really strange.

Pattinson has never hidden the fact that he thought the Twilight films were strange. He once remarked that the novel on which the original movie was based, by the same name, read like it shouldn't have been released. 

Additionally, he regularly criticised Edward, the character he played, for his odd behaviour. He was always bringing up how the vampire was a murderer. In addition, he questioned why a person over 100 years old would continue be attending high school and dating a teen.

How the 'Harry Potter' alum attempted to alter public perception of the 'Twilight' films

In fact, Pattinson thought the Twilight films were so bizarre that he tried his hardest to rename them whenever he had the chance. He wanted people to understand just how odd they were. 

His words and interviews, however, were only insufficient to dissuade people from interpreting them as an epic love story. 

Pattinson opened up in an interview with IndieWire on his attempts to alter the films' perception.

I always felt Twilight was kind of odd, to be honest," Pattinson admitted. "Really, it's just the type of marketing that made it popular. If you look at any interview I gave, you'll see that I always pushed the placenta-chewing and every other part I could make offensive to the front. 

It's a romantic voyage, it's lovely, but you know you can't compete with one guy versus the entire marketing team saying that. It sounds like, "No, that's repulsive.
