A week after

Will Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock

at the Oscars, the actor has seen two of his upcoming projects cancelled, according to 'The Hollywood Reporter'.

The first of them is '

Fast and Loose', a movie that he was going to star in on Netflix

.

A project that seems to have been definitively paralyzed but that, as reported by the American publication, began to have problems before Smith's attack on Rock at the Oscars took place.

And it is that, as he recalls, a week before the gala,

David Leitch

, the director linked to the project, left the film.

The filmmaker responsible for 'Fast & Furious: Hobbs & Shaw' or 'Deadpool 2' finally left Netflix's 'Fast and Loose' in favor of 'Fall Guy', a film produced by Universal and starring

Ryan Gosling

.

After the departure of the director, the streaming service began the search for a new filmmaker to take charge of the project, but after the Oscars scandal, Netflix would have decided to suspend the project indefinitely.

The same happens, according to THR, with

the fourth installment of 'Two rebel policemen'

.

The fourth installment in the saga in which Smith stars alongside

Martin Laurence

had been in active development for some time.

In fact, Smith received 40 pages of the script before the Oscars, but now he too has stalled.

In addition, THR advances that "it is likely" that with some of its other projects in pre-production starring Smith the same thing will happen.

It should be remembered that the actor stars in

'Emancipation'

,

Antoine Fuqua

's film for Apple that is already in post-production, so it is more than likely that it will see the light of day even though it may delay its premiere.

In addition, Smith also had 'The Council'

on his agenda

, a film by

Peter Landesman

about which, at the moment, there is no news.

Last Friday the actor announced that he was resigning from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Hollywood after

the body confirmed the opening of an investigation into the incident

and announced disciplinary measures against Smith.

The president of the Academy,

David Rubin

, responded to the actor's resignation by saying that they will continue to advance in the disciplinary procedures, and has confirmed that the Academy has a meeting scheduled for April 18 where possible sanctions will be discussed.
