Seven Pounds
Director:
Gabriele Muccino
Stars: Will Smith, Rosario Dawson, Woody Harrelson
Studio: Columbia Pictures
The Plot: A professional man (Smith) who is close to suicide for his role in an auto accident that claimed the lives of seven people finds a reason to live, and to atone, when he falls for a woman (Dawson) who wants to help him deal with his grief.
Get way down and then be lifted back up a second time by Will Smith and his Pursuit of Happyness director Gabriele Muccino. I don’t think we know the full scope of the story just yet — there are whispers about Smith’s character assuming the identity of his brother (possibly played by Michael Ealy?) — but you and I both can imagine the weighty drama is being positioned for a third Best-Actor nomination for Smith. There must have been tremendous pressure on greenish screenwriter Grant Nieporte to deliver, and I’ve seen plenty of postings championing his script. I thought Happyness‘ screenplay was wispy, but that didn’t prevent it from international success, so I have to surmise that Smith’s bulletproof career is in no danger of taking a dent this holiday season … even if he made a few enemies in LA this time around.
