Will Smith's new movie I Am Legend  has been banned in China.

This comes after amidst China's announced temporary ban on American movies to help increase the country's domestic film industry — a move the country's regulator has denied.  

I Am Legend  post-apocalyptic science fiction horror film directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Will Smith. It is the fourth film adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 novel I Am Legend. Smith plays Robert Neville, possibly Earth's only survivor of a man-made virus. He works to create a cure but is stalked by nocturnal mutant survivors of the plague.

For the film, Warner Bros. launched a tie-in comic and an online multiplayer game on Second Life as part of its marketing campaign. I Am Legend is scheduled to be released December 14, 2007.
Smith says, "We struggled very, very hard to try to get it to work out, but there are only a certain amount of foreign films that are allowed in."
