1Seven Pounds

Reuniting the creative team behind The Pursuit Of Happyness (score!) including director Gabriele Muccino, Seven Pounds sees Smith as a sadsack taxman planning to off himself. Hoping to make amends for a life poorly lived, he sets about helping seven strangers before facing the big D, but reshuffles his schedule when he falls for Rosario Dawson.

Too downbeat for a hit? Tell that to Smith’s agent. His client is currently on a streak of eight straight $100 million films – including stinkers like Shark Tale and Hitch.
