'Legend' Smith Hospitalized after Fighting-Off Blood-Thirsty Vampires

Will Smith has injured his shoulder fighting blood-thirsty vampires. The actor, who plays the last man alive in a world overrun by vampires in sci-fi film "I Am Legend", was hurt while filming an action scene last week. He was treated at New York's Hospital for Special Surgery and is still receiving physiotherapy.

Smith's representative confirmed yesterday (06.03.07): "Will strained his shoulder on Thursday morning (01.03.07) and after work he immediately went to the hospital.

"He worked Thursday and Friday and was just having a little bit of therapy. It is absolutely not something major."

Smith plays Robert Neville in the futuristic film. The 39-year-old Oscar nominee stars alongside his six-year-old daughter, Willow, who is making her big screen debut as his character's child.
