Trailer Watch: Will Smith in Seven Pounds

Posted by Neil Miller (neil@filmschoolrejects.com) on September 29, 2008

Rosario Dawson and Will Smith in Seven Pounds

The first trailer for the Columbia Pictures drama Seven Pounds, starring Will Smith, has been leaked onto the web. In the film, Smith plays Ben Thomas, an IRS agent with a fateful secret who embarks on an extraordinary journey of redemption by forever changing the lives of seven strangers. It is a project that has reunited Smith with the director and producers of The Pursuit of Happyness.

It also stars Rosario Dawson, Michael Ealy, Barry Pepper and Woody Harrelson. I know it’s early in the morning and my eyes are prone to playing tricks on me, but this looks interesting — like the sort of interesting that ends in Oscar Buzz…

Seven Pounds hits theaters on December 19th.

At the Request of Columbia Pictures, this trailer has been removed.

What do you think of the first trailer for Seven Pounds?

It does look interesting..but the trailer is kind of boring imo D: Very touching though. I think The Soloist's trailer screams oscar more than this one.

Why does Will Smith have to be either running or topless in ALL his movies! wtf?!

Rob Hunter

The Soloist may scream "Oscar!" louder than Seven Pounds, but this looks to be the better and more interesting movie. And no, it's not because Will Smith is running and/or topless.

I actually got ahold of the script a few months ago and at first I thought it was too scattered and didn't make sense but when all of the different story lines start coming together it really is amazing. One of the best scripts I've ever read. Can't wait to see my boy Woody Harrelson do his thing too, been a fan since WMCJ. I'm not exactly the softest guy in the world and when I got to the last page in the script I was shedding a few tears so I can definately tell you it touches your heart.

Looks inspirational. Yeah its good to see Woody Harrleson in something other than a comedy

I think The Soloist looks pretty solid. You'd have to seriously fuck it up to make the
movie bad. Plus, it's actually true which is awe-inspiring by itself.
