Will Smith is working on a new film titled Seven Pounds, the emotional story of a man who will change the lives of seven strangers.
The 39-year-old actor has a habit of generating blockbuster success as well as Oscar worthy performances, and this one may offer both.
In the movie, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air will be showing off his skills as he portrays the role of “…a suicidal, guilt-ridden man.”
Seven Pounds, which is being spearheaded by The Pursuit of Happyness director, Gabriele Muccino, is slated for a late 2008 release date.
The buzz is on!

He is an amazing actor and I hope he gets the Oscar!!! Will was amazing in the Pursuit of Happyness and so was his little boy!!! I cried my ass off!!!
He is such an overrated actor!
The only reason why he gets so much pub is beacuse he is one of a handfull of black actors in Hollywood that have been accepted. Sad as it may be.
I love Will Smith!!! Ever since The Fresh Prince of Bel Air, he has proven to be an outstanding actor and musician!!!
Sexy Man!!!
Daria, I agree with you as far as the acting goes. The music part however, I have to disagree with because his music is so lightweight!!!
Love Him!!! I can’t wait for his movie!!! he is awesome in everything he does. Hopefully he has ended his friendship with the creep Tom Cruise.
Amazing actor, father, husband, and artist!!!
Whatever!!
As long as he isn’t kicking it with Tom anymore, than he is cool in my books!!!
Love him!
I Am Legend so freaking rocked on!
He is amazing
LOVE HIM!!!! ever since Fresh prince, he is an amazing actor and father and a true role model to kids who grow up in the business and show they can still be normal 20 years later.
Will is cool and a good actor I hope he scores big with this new movie!!!!
very handsome on that picture
too bad he’s not a very good actor. His facial expressions were hilarious in I am legend
^^^boo hoo to you he’s a great actor he made me cry in the pursuit of happiness.
I love him!! I disagree with the comments about him being a bad actor, I actually think he’s almost underrated. He’s always been seen as funny because of Fresh Prince but I think he’s an amazing dramatic actor. He was great in Pursuit of Happyness and in Ali as well. This movie sounds interesting, I would love to see him win an Oscar one day.
