"Seven Pounds'' spoilers: anyone know what this movie is about?

Why does Will Smith's character give his house away? Who does Rosario Dawson play? There must be a big twist, and I'm dying to know what it is.

Ummm...I know exactly what the movie is about. Warning: SPOILERS!!! NO JOKE!!!! SPOILERS!!!!! GO AWAY!! If you don't want to know. I figured it out, than got confirmation from a friend whose seen the movie. Spoilers begin: SERIOUSLY!!!!! Seven pounds refers to seven pounds of body parts. Will Smith's character accidentally causes an accident where people are killed and he is unable to live with himself. So he decides to kill himself and donate his various body parts to deserving people. He kills himself by getting bitten by a rare jellyfish, that doesn't poison the body, but puts himself in a state of shock. He puts the jellyfish in a bathtub full of water and ice to preserve the body, and then puts the jellyfish in the tub with him. He dies, and seven people get his body parts.....feel good movie of the year...right?

Title does not refer to seven pounds of body parts but to Shakespeares Merchant of Venice and the pound of flesh to pay off a debt. In this case Will Smiths character has killed 7 people and thus he owes seven pounds

Thanks to IMDB, here's what we do know: Mr. Smith plays Ben Thomas, an IRS agent who is haunted by his past. In an effort to make amends he tries to help seven strangers, including Ms. Dawson's Emily, a woman with a heart condition. When Ben falls in love with Emily it predictably complicates matters. Much has been made about the twist ending of the film, and there are shockingly few internet spoilers bouncing around cyberspace. So! Here are our best guesses at spoiling it for you.

The M. Night Shyamalan ending

Premise: Ben is really a ghost.

Chances: None. As Ms. Dawson said during the Oprah Winfrey interview, she thought Seven Pounds was going to "have some weird M. Night Shayamlan ending," but was happy to be proven wrong. Sounds like somebody didn't like The Happening.

The Hancock ending

Premise: Ben is really a superhuman immortal that has been married to Charlize Theron for the past 3000 years.

Chances: None. However, that is the way Hancock actually ended. For real. And the scary thing is... it actually worked! Just file this under further proof that Will Smith can do no wrong.

The likely ending

Premise: OK, deep breath! Ben killed seven people earlier in his life (we'll assume while drunk driving). As punishment, he decides to commit suicide and donate his organs to seven people who really need them. However after he falls in love with Emily, he has second thoughts about going through with the plan. Ben tells Emily his true motivations and she predictably freaks and dumps him. Crestfallen, he realizes the best way to show Emily that he truly loves her is by giving away his heart. (In this case, literally.) Ben dies, allowing Emily to live. Cue the waterworks and poignant Rosario Dawson voiceover!

Chances: Very high. We don't mean to toot our own horns, but we think this scenario seems incredibly plausible.

This is a fantastic question. I have seen the trailer a couple of times and have absolutely no idea what the movie is about. The billboard also sheds no light on the situation. All I know is it has Woody Harrelson, Will Smith and is directed by the guy who directed The Pursuit of Happyness. Good luck!
