Will Smith was greeted by hundreds of screaming fans as he hit the red carpet in Japan for the world premiere of his new film.

Smith stars in action thriller I Am Legend, the fourth big screen adaptation of Richard Matheson's sci-fi novel of the same name.

"It has wonderful action and really big scares. So you want to watch this movie with a big audience 'cause there's some terrifying parts in this movie" - Will Smith

The Hitch star plays scientist Robert Neville who is the only person left alive when a virus wipes out the population of New York City.

The film comes highly recommended by its star: "It has wonderful action and really big scares. So you want to watch this movie with a big audience 'cause there's some terrifying parts in this movie and I think my performance is pretty good too."

So it's no secret that Will is a fan of his own work but it seems producers were not so impressed with the Hollywood star when he accidentally gave away the ending of the film during the opening in Tokyo.

I Am Legend is slated to hit cinemas on December 26.
