Six months after ‘the slap’, Will Smith prepares his return

Will Smith is setting the table nicely for his return, as he is being tapped to play the primary role in the film Brilliance.

Brilliance will be directed by Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and produced by himself through his company Westbrook Studios.

No matter what, time flies, time rolls, and as we look at the clock, we are reminded that it has been almost six months since Will Smith slapped Chris Rock in the face.

Despite persistent rumors of this potential return, a source reportedly told Deadline that Smith still hasn’t signed on to fill the role.

If the 53-year-old actor “agrees” to star in the feature film, he will play a federal agent named Nick Cooper.

In the end, if all goes according to plan, the film will be released at the end of December this year.
