The potential delay could be the final issue for the $120 million film. In April 2021, filming was moved from Georgia due to restrictive election laws and in August it was halted to limit the spread of COVID.
To the above is added little faith in the possibility that the film could be nominated for an award, due to Smith’s veto of various awards for the next ten years. As well as a March 2022 lawsuit against Apple, Lionsgate Entertainment and Jerry Bruckheimer for alleged sexual harassment which supposedly happened during production.

Although Apple TV+ is going ahead with the launch of “Emancipation,” after the altercation with Chris Rock at the Oscars in 2022, the company lost interest in other projects involving Smith, such as his biopic, for which he had made an offer. before.
Till date, Apple TV + had obtained good reviews and even awards at various events with the films chosen for its catalog. This year, the acclaimed film CODA, won two Oscar statuettes, such as Best Picture of the Year, Best Supporting Actor for Troy Kotsur and Best Adapted Screenplay for Siân Heder.
