UPDATE: Jeff Sneider just tweeted the early December date as well. He could just be rehashing what the Deadline piece revealed, but Jeff is always reliable. As I mentioned a few days ago, Will Smith will have to amp up that apology tour this fall. Maybe a one-hour special with Oprah, add in a televised therapy session with Dr. Phil and then an Oscar campaign can commence. I saw Sunday’s New York Times report, on Apple’s indecision with “Emancipation,” as a peculiarly timed one. Notice how the NYT piece, which quoted anonymous sources, was published just days after Apple’s big Oscar horse, “The Greatest Beer Run Ever,” completely tanked with critics at TIFF. Apple was maybe testing the waters, and now an awards campaign is clearly brewing behind “Emanicipation.” Apple are absolutely making the right decision, they SHOULD release the $120 million costing “Emancipation” — not only will it make it eligible for awards consideration, but it’ll also get rid of their biggest headache this year.
