Radewart Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 (edited) This one sound pretty dark...I like it! link: http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=14828 Will Smith is attached to star in Seven Pounds for Columbia Pictures and Escape Artists and is in talks to produce the film alongside his Overbrook Entertainment partner James Lassiter, says The Hollywood Reporter. Written by Grant Nieporte, the story centers on a man who inadvertently falls in love with a woman while attempting to kill himself. The film would reteam Smith with Columbia and Escape Artists, which together produced Smith's upcoming drama The Pursuit of Happyness. Smith also has signed on to star in Columbia's Tonight, He Comes, which has been pushed back to a 2007 start date after "Happyness" director Gabriele Muccino dropped out. Smith will next shoot I Am Legend for Warner Bros. Pictures. There is no director attached to Seven Pounds Edited June 3, 2006 by Radewart Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jin Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 This sounds good! Will is chosing very different roles for his newer projects, not that typical Big Will stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jazzy Julie Posted June 3, 2006 Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 hmm not sure about this one, doesnt sound like a "fun" movie. But that opinion is based on one line explaining the movie, so i'll see how it turns out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr K Posted June 3, 2006 Members Report Share Posted June 3, 2006 I gotta say I used to complain that Will never made anough films. One film a year compared to, say, Samuel L Jackson was just way too little for me...but now I'm getting really aggrevated. There's too much of those film projects for him.. The good news is he does seem to live up to his word. He said a while back that once he reaches 40 he'll stop making all this empty straight action/science-fiction crap and will turn to more mature cinema. Those movies that he is being tlinked to nowadays seem to prove that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxFly Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 This is just a "Will is attached" thing... These are all talks... and half of them will fall through... This is the same as Will being attached to do the Matrix a couple of years back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigWillieFan01 Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Very interesting. What's this movie about? It will be a serious film I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sonic1988 Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 hmm not sure about this one, doesnt sound like a "fun" movie. But that opinion is based on one line explaining the movie, so i'll see how it turns out. I'm not sure, it does sound interesting, but it may be comedic because there was a movie called "Better Off Dead" which followed a similar plot. But that was more of a "teen movie". I guess we just have to wait for more information. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
