ember 9, 2008: Actor Will Smith attends the benefit screening of "Seven Pounds" November 19, 2008 at the AMC Creve Coeur 12 in Creve Coeur, Missouri.It's a truism in Hollywood that Will Smith does as he pleases, but this is the first time Charlotte has benefited from his unusual approach. The star of the upcoming “Seven Pounds” is coming to the Queen City Thursday to promote his film and raise awareness for Second Harvest Food Bank. Except for a stop in Miami, Sony Pictures officials say, we're the only Southern city Smith has decided to visit.
In the movie, the two-time Oscar nominee plays a man who inexplicably begins to do good deeds for utter strangers. Smith is using the project to raise awareness for his campaign against hunger, and he'll cap his day here by going to Regal Stonecrest Cinemas, where he'll give away 300 turkeys.
Smith's itinerary for the day is still being worked out, though it's likely to include interview times and a visit to one public school. The big event begins at 6 p.m. Thursday, when the theater in the Stonecrest shopping center (at Rea Road near the I-485 exit) will host a red-carpet gala.
There Smith will donate the turkeys to Second Harvest. The red-carpet presentation is open to the public. Guests will include Carolina Panthers players Steve Smith and Julius Peppers, NASCAR driver Richard Petty, Mayor Pat McCrory and other celebrities.
Starting at 2 p.m. that day, the first 1,000 people to bring at least one non-perishable food item to the Regal Stonecrest will receive a pass to see Smith's film, which opens Dec. 19. You can watch the red-carpet presentation whether you bring food or not.
