Will Smith’s highly anticipated upcoming movie Emancipation’s trailer is out and has gone wild on the internet. Every year, several star-studded movies hit the silver screen, but very few of them are so good at catching folks’ attention and earning admiration. ‘Emancipation’ is one such movie. People from around the world are reacting to its trailer. Floyd Mayweather, whose fights were regularly visited by Smith, also penned a two-line message.

The former-five weight division champ took to Instagram and shared the movie poster and wrote, “This movie is truly unbelievable, @willsmith and @AntoineFuqua congrats. The whole world should make sure they see this film.”

Earlier this month, Apple TV released the official teaser informing that the movie will screen in theatres on December 2 and will stream online from December 3.

4 days back, the legendary actor shared a picture from the first screening. His close friend from the entertainment industry, Dave Chappelle, Rihanna, ASAP Rocky, Tyler Perry, and Kenya Barris, attended the show.

The caption read, “EPIC night!! Thanx for coming to see #Emancipation. Hope ya’ll enjoyed!!”

Based on a true story, the Antoine Fuqua-directed movie will display the thrilling life story of an enslaved person, who revolted against a Louisiana plantation back in the 1860s and escaped it.

This is the first time Smith is getting positive feedback from the fans since his Chris Rock incident at the Oscars. Movie critics are appreciating the way Smith transformed himself to adopt the character. He is already looked upon to compete in next year’s Academy Award race. This is the reason he is one of the finest actors in the industry.

In an interview with TMZ Sports, Smith told how the legendary champion kept his support to his side when he was in a very sensitive state after slapping Rock.

“I want to say something also about Floyd. So, we’ve met each other, we’ve seen each other around, but we weren’t like, friends. And the day after the Oscars, for 10 days he called me every day. And he was like, ‘Ay, you know you the champ, right? You good? You know you the champ, right? I want you to hear my voice say it,” Smith said.
