“This is a film about the heart of a man — what could be called the first viral image,” Smith added. “Cameras had just been created, and the image of whipped Peter went around the world.”
Smith then called the photo a “rallying cry against slavery,” and one that inspired a film that he says he wanted to be part of in “a way that only Antoine Fuqua could deliver.”
Smith — who resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences and wasbanned from attending its ceremoniesfor the next 10 years — said in avideo earlier this summerthat he has been doing “a lot of thinking and personal work” in the months since smacking Rock atthe Oscars.
