Apple pays $ 120 million for rights to "Emancipation" starring Will Smith

Apple's accountant must get bad every time the person in charge of Apple TV + He enters his office to ask for money for a new production. And above it cannot be denied. You have direct orders from above to pay all the bills presented by Apple TV +.

And as a good accountant that he is, he has an Excel, or in his case a Numbers, with the income and expenses of Apple TV +. He has had to lengthen the column of the balance to fit the figure, in which billions of dollars already appear. In negative.

Apple has acquired the worldwide rights to «emancipation«, A future film with Antoine Fuqua directing Will Smith in an action thriller, with scripts by Willam N. Collage, he explains Deadline in your article.

The film is an action thriller that tells the harrowing escape of Peter (Will Smith), a runaway slave forced to outwit his cold-blooded hunters and the unforgiving swamps of Louisiana, on a tortuous journey north where he joins the Union Army.

Deadline reports that there were seven candidates to keep the rights when the package was released last week at the Virtual Cannes market. The bids exceeded 75 million dollars, leaving a final fight between Warner Bros and Apple. The latter finally closed the deal last night for its streaming platform Apple TV +.

It has transcended the amount of the purchase that has reached 105 million dollars net, but when the backend expenses are added, the agreement will exceed the 120 million when everything is closed and signed.

Of course, if Apple continues to invest in new projects for Apple TV + in this way, maybe when the free subscription year I have, I even pay and everything.
