Will Packer recently revealed the content of a thoughtful message he received from Idris Elba after the slap occurred.

 

Will Packer and Idris Elba have been working together for some time now, teaming up on high-profile films such as 2010’s “Takers. The two have now re-teamed for Universal Pictures’ survival thriller “Beast,” for which they are currently doing press.

The two friends and colleagues gave various interviews while on tour, and Will was asked if he would consider producing the Academy Awards again. ‘I’m going to put everything I’ve got into this,’ he said. Idris was one of the first people to email me after everything was done. And I said something like, ‘The head that wears the crown is heavy (meaning that the position of leader comes with great responsibility and is very stressful). ‘ I said, ‘Wake up, King,'” he commented.

 

Producing the Academy Awards is certainly not an easy job. Unforeseen circumstances can arise, like a slap in the face. However, Idris Elba praised Will Packer in the same interview. Idris said he appreciated how Will Packer “reshaped the intimacy of the Academy Awards.

 

Idris stars in “Beast,” a gripping survival action film set in the vast African savannah, from Universal Studios, which has unleashed monster panic classics with “Jurassic World” and “Jaws.” September The film opens in Japan on Friday, September 9.
