Will Smith to play Barack Obama

Movieweb spoke to Will Smith and Rosario Dawson about their work on Seven Pounds. However, during the conversation Dawson let slip that Smith may be playing Obama at some point.

Smith said that he was definitely considering playing the president elect sometime in the future, and then remarked that his ears made him a lock for the role. It's a joke he has shared many times. He explained that a Barack Obama biopic excited him because the film, "Already has one heck of an ending!" For anyone that is expecting to see this within the next couple of years might have to hold their breath, though. If Mr. Smith has it his way, he'd want to wait eight years before producing and starring in a film about America's first black president. He also commented that he'd want to wait until at least six months after Obama was out of office before releasing it, which he felt should have been done with Oliver Stone's W.

Will Smith as Obama? Good thing or bad thing?

Seven Pounds - Poster, trailer and ideas on what happens

Here is the poster for Will Smith's new film, Seven Pounds. The poster isn't really anything special unless you love looking at the Fresh Prince's face and hey, who doesn't. Seven Pounds is directed by Italian filmmaker Gabriele Muccino (One Last Kiss, Remember Me My Love, and The Pursuit of Happyness. The original screenplay was penned by newcomer Grant Nieporte.

In the film, Ben (Will Smith) is an IRS agent who is depressed and guilt-ridden about mistakes from his past. He sets out to make amends by helping seven strangers. When he meets a beautiful woman with a heart condition (Rosario Dawson), he falls in love with her, thereby complicating his plans. Woody Harrelson also appears as a blind pianist who befriends Ben.

Apparantly, there's a lot of wondering on the internet as to what he will do to change the lives of the seven. I reckon Smith's character will be planning on killing himself and then donating his organs to them all. The fact he falls in love with one of them means if he stays with her he will be happy but would lose her as she would not get his literal heart although she would have his romantic heart as it where.

There you go. No need to see the film now. The trailer is below. What do you think of that?
