  1. I really hope he doesn't make another MIB movie... I seriously think that another IAL movie sounds better... Even if he shouldn't make that movie either, but I think IAL is 10 times better than MIB or MIIB, so it would probably be a better movie...

    Since he's not doing music, and want's to focus on movies (I'm guessing good ones, but let's not forget hancock) he should focus on doing movies like "Empire" or "The Last Pharaoh" instead, and seriously VIsqo, do you really think that doing another MIB movie sounds better than Seven Pounds? Cause that's just crazy to me...

  2. Well, I liked POH, it wasn't a fantastic movie... But a good drama... The script for SP is good, and I'm hoping that the movie will be that... One thing I noticed in the trailer is that none of the lines are in the script exept "Why do I get the feeling you're doing me a very big favor?"... They've prob. changed alot... And as always, I think that Will's character is gonna be less creepy and more of a nice guy than in the script... Will needs to stop being involved with the producing! Just do the acting and let the director and producers do the rest!

    I like that the trailer doesn't spell everything out, at the end of the trailer, when the woman say "what are you planning to do?"... I'm asking the same, even though I've read the script already...

  3. The first one was one of my fave movies, a prequel sounds like a stupid idea, im just hoping they have an amazing script and make me eat my words. To me it just seems like its gonna be a boring film about viruses and no zombies. The thing that made the first one special was that Will was all alone, they cant exactly do that in the prequel, its like saying they are gonna make mib3 with no aliens.

    Well, remember in the first one... In the flashbacks where he and his family were driving... That infected guy that jumed on the car... And the movie is gonna be about the time between then and "all alone"... So I think it can be a scarier movie, cause the infected might not be CGI this time... It will prob be more of a zombie movie, a bunch of scary looking infected people, and Will + some other actors...

    We just have to wait and see, I hope this movie will be good, I'm not expecting a masterpiece... I'm just hoping they don't use CGI this time...

  4. eagle eye will be a good movie to debut the trailer on.

    yea, but kindof not the right audience... But I don't know if sony cares about that, as long as they can get many people to see the trailer... "Miracle at St. Anna" would be the best movie to debut the trailer on, but it prob. not gonna have as many viewers as Eagle Eye...

    Why can't they just release it on the net, and then put it infont of some movie... I mean, It's just good PR to do that...

  5. On Wednesday, I got the chance to be a part of the first real audience to see the film thanks to my friend Austin. We got to see the film in its current form, which will no doubt change some between now and the film's release date in December. It was fantastic.

    In my opinion, it was the strongest performance in Will Smith's impressive career.

    ...What I will say about the film is that, to use some critic cliches, it's emotionally gripping, powerful, and engaging. It pulls you in and doesn't let go, and at the end I found myself wishing I could stay in the rich world I'd been introduced to, continuing to witness the lives of these characters.

    Smith shows off an impressive combination of both range and depth in the film that he doesn't often get credit for being capable of. The film is also impressive in that it enters the realm of the morally gray that most big Hollywood films avoid like the plague.

    Anyway, the gist of what I'd like to say about Seven Pounds is that it gets my wholehearted seal of approval, you should all go check it out when it comes out December 19th.

  6. Will Smith will be nominated for an Oscar for his performance, without a doubt. The filmmaker (Gabriele Muccino - the Pursuit of Happyness) and film are another story altogether. Granted, I viewed a rough cut, and with the audience response, I am sure that some major cuts will be made including some of the more pivotal scenes in spoiling the twist. Smith is harrowing in his performance, no humor at all - just the shell of a broken man trying to find his personal salvation through others. The dark undertones of the story take a little bit away from the performance, but despite what you think of the film itself, Smith is still a beacon of brilliance.

    Rosario Dawson is the love interest, and although she holds her own, there is something that doesn't seem quite right about her playing this role. A conversation about her heart condition came up afterward and there were some lingering questions. Woody Harrelson is a bright spot among an otherwise unremarkable supporting cast (Barry Pepper was awful and should be cut altogether). He receives a minimal amount of screen time, but it is powerful, particularly the seemingly out of place phone conversation with Smith near the beginning of the film.

    There are a few minor flaws, which may still be addressed before the film is rolled out for general audience. The first is that there are a couple of plot twists that the viewer suspects way too early on and are simply anti-climactic when they come to fruition. The second is the ending. Once the pivotal climax occurs, there is too much reflection and the final sequence drags out unnecessarily. On a brighter note, the choice of pet that Will Smith owns is probably the most original and interesting seen in film in recent memory. There is one image that stays in my mind even after the plot of the film and the dialogue fade.

    It is not a bad movie by any stretch of the imagination, in fact, with some surgical editing, it could be a very good one. I just think that the themes and story are too dark and depressing to end up winning statues in March. Smith is exceptional (again) and I look forward to seeing the final cut on DVD next year.

    8/10 (with optimism for some final editing).

  7. I really think it's fake

    Will Smith's name would be much bigger on top of the title!

    :lolsign: That's true... The poster just looks a little to simple, but then... The hancock poster, well... It was just a pic of his face... So I don't know... But I like the "clean" look of it... But I think it's fake...

  8. Poster!!!!!

    34ix130908hga4.png

    Well, don't know if it's real, but looks ok... a little "book coverish", it's the pic that got released a few weeks ago, so maybe someone just made a fake one with that... Don't know... Doesn't really tell you anything about the movie, so the more I think about it... I think it's fake...

    Well, really hoping to see that trailer soon!

  9. ...overall I enjoyed the film. It was in every way a 'drama', and not what I would call a typical Will Smith flick. That being said, he was excellent and I found his character to be very strong. Actually, I thought all of the acting was rather well done including Rosario Dawson and Woody Harrelson. The storyline is incredibly dark (as I mentioned in my previous post it is about a suicidal IRS agent who finds love with a letterpress printer) and a wee bit of tearjerker. My largest complaint was that I felt that certain portions of the film were fairly scattered and confusing. In the end, everything is wrapped up nicely and so I left feeling satisfied. Overall, I would suggest this movie to my friends, however if you miss it on the big screen, I'm sure it will be just as good in your 'at home theater'.

  10. Another review:

    I just saw a screening of the new will smith movie that comes out in December. The lady told us we were the first audience to see this movie ever, which is pretty exciting. But it became less exciting as the film went on. I don't want to spoil anything, but I will say it has a mostly original but poorly executed plot, good performances by Will Smith and Rosario Dawson, an awesome climax, and is VERY dramatic (i don't think a movie has made me feel that emotionally drained since Schindler's List). I'd like to see it again in theaters, to see what they've changed, but in its current state, I would be doing you an injustice to recommend it.

    From IMDB:

    yeah seattle last night. free preview city, and now here we go. i wasn't really a fan of the pursuit of happiness. the previous collaboration with the director and big willy, so going in i had virtually no expectations and thought it might be as sentimental and sensationalist as that film. So my views could be skewed by that. That being said, i very much enjoyed what i saw last night. Performance wise from smith and rosario dawson. Actually quite wonderful chemistry. The score was particularity haunting and effective as counterpoint to smiths crippling state of mind. a few elements were left very underdeveloped. Barry pepper for one. the entire woody harrleson story and character. That if interpreted the way the studio is going now could end up being very offensive to any blind collations, and sensitive people to that matter. Which is huge because it basically bookends then film. It is not well expositioned and handled badly. the overall film had a syrupy pay it forward sort of vibe to it, once you getting further along, but not enough to hallmark it up. Thought that was a nice balance of smiths good deeds, and conflicting circumstances. Rosaio was friken adorable by the by, and it was nice to have her possible one note role become incredibly integrated into the story with a beautiful relationship with smiths character. Apparently we saw a rough cut. could just be the studios way of lowering expectations. But I actually really dug what i saw and am very proud of big willy and his choices. yep
  11. Another review... And guess what! The reviewer has a problem with the ending, Déjà vu anyone?

    After the movie was over they made us fill out a questionaire that was sort of a movie review. I'm fairly certain that the movie got only fair reviews at best. I personally thought that the movie took to long to tell you what it was going to be about. With a name like Seven Pounds, I thought it might have something to do with giving birth, or with a heart transplant, but it could have been about something else completely. Once you get in about 20 minutes into the movie, you see what the movie is about and then it becomes a pretty predictable movie at that point. I don't want to be a spoiler so I'm trying to be fairly vague. I also thought the ending was a little cheesy. Overall I thought Will did a good job with his character although I thought his character came across as sort of creepy at times. The movie wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't good in my opinion. I think overall it was just sort of weird. I think the biggest problem with the movie was that it tried to be too many things at once. It was a drama, but it also tried to be artsy at times, then it turned to a love story, then drama again, and then it tried to have a deeper all around tie in, that kinda made you feel like, "Oh, yeah, I see all the tie in's though most were pretty easy to figure out, but now I can see what the whole movie was trying to be about."

    Well, it's only one persons opinion... Still sounds like an ok movie.

    I like the fact that Will's character came across as sort of creepy, well... Think it's gonna be a great performance by will, in a good movie, but not great as usual...

  12. apparently there was a screening in seattle yesterday also... Hoping to see some reviews, but a little wierd to have screenings before a teaser... Well, well... Can't wait for the trailer, and hoping for positive reviews.

    Here's a short review... not much info, but nice to hear he thought it was good.

    Watched it tonight at some super early screening in Seattle. I knew nothing about the movie except what was posted on imdb. It turned out to be a great movie that I would recommend to most people. Will Smith is the main character with Rosario Dawson having a major part in the movie. I haven't seen The Pursuit of Happyness but my friend told me that Seven Pounds was even better.

  14. Seven Pounds, Movie Preview

    seven-pounds_l.jpg

    Owning the month of July apparently isn't enough for Smith, who's slowly looking to claim another whole page of your calendar. Two years, nearly to the day, after his Oscar-nominated performance in Muccino's The Pursuit of Happyness, the director and star are teaming up again for another December inspirational drama. This time, Smith plays Ben Thomas, a suicidal IRS agent who finds meaning and love — with a terminally ill woman (Dawson) — after co-opting his brother's identity. The megastar and the Italian director ''are like brothers,'' says Ealy (Never Die Alone), who plays Ben's mysterious brother. ''They play-fistfight all the time.''

    Our Two Cents:

    Don't bet against Smith, in the play-fistfight or at the holiday box office. 12/12

  15. Interview with Gabriele Muccino about 'Seven Pounds'

    Does anyone know Italian? :lolsign:

    http://www.repubblica.it/2008/08/sezioni/s...cino-smith.html

    just ran it trough google translator... not a great translation, but you can understand the text now anyway...

    A Hollywood Gabriele Muccino ago decidedly good tan and in perfect physical shape thanks to frequent trips on the beach in Santa Monica, and his second American film, Seven Pounds, again starring Will Smith (with whom he had done research of happiness), which seems to emerge as another success for Sony Pictures. He has conducted in Los Angeles the pilot episode of a TV series and is producing with his Indiana Productions a project Pavarotti and a film in English with Alessandro Gassman, Four Fathers, the story of four Italians who came to New York to love that stay close to children are forced to stay when divorce from their wives.

    Filmed in Los Angeles where Muccino is working on post production, Seven Pounds is, in the words of the director, "A film completely different from everything that I did before. A nice challenge." In the cast, alongside Will Smith are Rosario Dawson, with him already in Men in Black 2 and Woody Harrelson. But even Conor Cruise, adopted son of Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman.

    The history of film?

    "In my opinion, has similarities with 21 Grams is the story of a man of success, wealthy, a man who lightly distraction and lived a peaceful life and also very happy that in a serious car accident, killing by mistake, seven people , Including his girlfriend. Enters into a tunnel of depression from which manages to escape only with a plan perverse as crowds, and that is to kill and donate his organs to 7 people. The problem is that ultimately love the person to whom must donate her heart. It follows a stora tragicissima of love between Will Smith and Rosario Dawson, and also very exciting. The title, Seven Pounds (seven pounds), refers to seven people, seven souls, seven bodies, seven weights. "

    A story original?

    "Yes, the writer was inspired by the story of a NASA employee who felt responsible for the explosion of the Shuttle in which seven astronauts died, costruendoci over a fictitious plot. Sony had offered to Will not felt to do so; is only when I showed interest too that Will has accepted. So all we have entered into a frighteningly ambitious, dangerous, slippery, is a particular film and even difficult, but the power of history for me was such that the danger of 'undertaking not frightened me enough, indeed there are tuffato me inside. "

    What had caused the accident?

    "Mandava a message on my phone ... a trivial mobile. One thing that particularly here in Los Angeles does it. But could be any city in the world. The film is the journey of a man who can not live with the guilt of have taken away the lives of seven people and then feel that they have lost the sense of their lives. But his soul is redeemed by an act of love that brings on a different existential, starts off an act of love that the it helps to hear him live to believe that his life was not useless. I think the film has a tragic romance and a crazy, which is why I wanted to come into this adventure. Anyway is a film that I did not never seen before, and very true. "

    In the sense that it is also realistic?

    "Altroché! To prepare the film I spent a lot of time in operating rooms and I attended surgeons to better understand the world of transplants. 'Incredible how many people alive today thanks to a heart transplant, a kidney, liver, or a piece of lung. The transplant of a heart is a miraculous and almost religious which I never thought I would not have to assist ...".

    It has seen one?

    "Yes, next to the surgeon, live. To be transplanted the heart must beat again, when you take from the donor. When you bring in the body of the person who receives it, ricuciono the arteries, the blood enters the heart inanimate, and he call to fly alone, without any electrical impulse or external aid. It colors, from gray becomes increasingly red, to beat irregularly then finds its rhythm ... Truly, there seems to be the hand of God, I was moved ".

    As was to return to work with Will Smith?

    "Will has changed as an actor than the search for happiness, a story with which somehow him, that poverty has really known, was very identified. In this movie we have had to invent a character completely mentally disturbed, desperately obsessed by the need to help others. I Will we closed in a room for five weeks to read and understand the script, to meet specialists. We discovered day after day that this was not only a film, but a story of many people. The character is very deep and very noble and Will has been able to take it on the screen so amazing. "

    He also toured the scene of?

    "Yes, just like the Americans! I finally understood how to make flying machines, put us under two guns with the explosive! Course guide stuntman, which often die. It is not like in Italy where we use ramps, here the macchiNe explode own. In our case, the stuntman was 45 minutes without knowledge resume after the jump, and we literally destroyed five years'60 Corvette! But experience has been incredible film, and despite having to shoulder a study like Columbia I think I have made the film with the independent spirit of European cinema. "

    Continue to follow the Italian cinema?

    "Of course, and finally I see that something is moving. Finally not feel the lack asfissiante of lightness and unconscious in the cinema, un'autoreferenza who claimed to be an author who for years has impolverato the Italian scene. I have always Paolo Virzì loved, and I consider Matteo Garrone and Paolo Sorrentino two artists, and others will be outside, have a freshness and an expressive courage that so many other writers and directors in Italy did not, and that finally begins to emerge. "

    Some people say that Gomorrah and Il Divo export both a model of negative, the face of corrupt country. What do you think?

    "This is a deja vu when Andreotti said in'44, with regard to Neorealism," the dirty clothes to be washed at home. "Vergognarsi of our cinema is hypocritical. Vergogniamoci of our bad governments, the real mafia, not the movie that tells . Cinema is art and everything that disturbs us is right to be told.

    I think this movie can be really good. I hope so anyway... Could be better than POH... As long as Akiva Goldsman stays far away from the movie, it will be fine :)

  16. I read an interview with Bobby Seale in an swedish film magazine where they talked some about the movie. It's prob. just a part of some bigger interview from some other magazine....

    He said something like: Have you heard about the new Spielberg film? He is going to make a movie called The Trial of the Chicago 7. Guess who is going to play me?

    And the interviewer said something like Sam Jackson or something like that...

    Bobby replied: No, Will Smith...

    And the interviewer told him what Will had said, the quote "I doubt I will be in it. Or probably not, anyway". And Bobby Said something like: I need to talk to him!

    I really hope he does talk to him, and get him to do the movie!

    thanx, but it was much more about the movie, with the quote from Will and all of that. Maybe it was taken from two different interviews...
