A local resident has protested at Will Smith filming his new movie Seven Pounds near her home.

65-year-old Dresden Graham has erected signs in her garden with the words "Will Smith, Go Film At Your Mansions" and "Put Potty Toilets On Your Neighbour's House" written on them.

Smith's latest project is being shot three houses away from Graham's property. According to Reuters, the producers were forced to build a false wall so that the signs were blocked out.

Graham commented: "It's a small victory, but at least it's something." She added: "We had no choice. The neighborhood had no choice."

FilmLA, which liaises between Hollywood residents and film companies, said: "Sometimes we can't make everybody happy. We have done a good job."
