An upcoming project “Fast and Loose,” which was to star Will Smith and to be released on Netflix has now been shelved. Sony too has put the fourth sequel of Bad Boys - "Bad Boys 4" on the back- burner.
The ‘slap-gate’ is turning into a costly affair for Hollywood actor Will Smith, who, during a heated moment, slapped comedian and anchor Chris Rock at the Oscars. Entertainment media companies, including Netflix and Sony, have put upcoming projects of the actor on hold.
An upcoming project “Fast and Loose,” which was to star Smith and to be released on Netflix has now been shelved. The film's production was to start in August this year. However, Netflix was "wary of progressing with the movie," according to a report by The Hollywood Reporter.
Sony too has put the fourth sequel of Bad Boys - "Bad Boys 4" on the back- burner. Smith had a prominent role in the movie. However, his Apple+ project - slave drama “Emancipation” - has already been completed.
