Michael Ealy has been selected by The Fresh Prince Will Smith to co-star in his upcoming drama Seven Pounds, to be helmed by The Pursuit of Happyness director Gabriele Muccino, says THR.
The story by Grant Nieporte follows a suicidal IRS agent (Smith) who sets out to make amends by assuming the identity of his younger brother. His plans get complicated when he inadvertently falls in love. Rosario Dawson and Woody Harrelson are in the cast as well.
Sounds like Big Willie Style is taking another swing at an Oscar.
