Will Smith's Oscars slap giving unreleased movie producers chest pains

In other entertainment news, Briefly News reported that Will Smith's Oscars slap is still giving movie producers chest pains. The Hollywood superstar attracted negative energy when he slapped Chris Rock live on stage at the last Oscars.

Apple is the latest big brand to be dearly affected by the famous Will Smith slap. The company produced a $120 million film starring Will titled Emancipation.

According to The New YorK Times, Apple now has a "Will Smith problem". The big-budget movie is set during the Civil War era. Apple reportedly envisioned the film as a surefire Oscar contender. The shooting of the movie wrapped earlier this year before the slap.
