Multiple Will Smith movies put on the back burner after Oscars slap, report says

Will Smith’s career has been — at least temporarily — slapped down.

As the fallout continues from the Oscars slap heard ‘round the world, several of Smith’s upcoming projects have been sidelined as Hollywood waits to see how long the scandal lasts.

Among the films is “Fast and Loose,” a Netflix movie in which the 53-year-old actor was set to star as a crime boss who loses his memory and has to put his life, which included a double identity as a wealthy kingpin and a broke CIA agent, back together, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The movie, which previously lost its director to Ryan Gosling’s “Fall Guy,” has reportedly been shelved for now.
