After setting the release date for "The Pursuit of Happyness," Flame Film made the announcement to the media and the fans that it would premiere across North America on May 20th! At the same time, a batch of new stills was released on the official website, showing Will Smith hugging his son in tears, chatting with the real Chris Gardner, and Wang Yang shouting through a megaphone, among others; there were also behind-the-scenes tidbits, like how many extras in the movie were actually homeless people; and how Chris Gardner and Jessica Alba made cameos in the film.
