Thread: I Am Legend

This is one movie I can't wait to see!!!
I read the book, saw the two movies based off the book.
The last man on earth staring Vincent Price

and the Omega Man staring Charleston Heston.

Plot:
Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable...and manmade. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City...and maybe the world. But he is not alone. He is surrounded by "the Infected"--victims of the plague who have mutated into carnivorous beings who can only exist in the dark and who will devour or infect anyone or anything in their path. For three years, Neville has spent his days scavenging for food and supplies and faithfully sending out radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. All the while, the Infected lurk in the shadows, watching Neville's every move, waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But his blood is also what The Infected hunt, and Neville knows he is outnumbered and quickly running out of time.

I haven't read about the non-vampire part, but it's Hollywood so I wouldn't doubt it either.
In the "Omega Man" they weren't really vampires. More like Albinos lol
In "last man on earth", the creatures were more like zombies.
The movie isn't rated yet, I hope they make it R and not pg-13 because of Will Smith and lets hope for a better ending.
OBTW the link for "last man on earth" is the full length movie

I'm thinking the same and it's directed by the guy who did Constantine which was alright. I just recently read the book too after I first saw the trailer. I thought it was really good and different from what I normally read

Well the pursuit of Happyness was well played and i'll be looking forwards to I Am Legend if he truly shows that he can adapt into any character he wants to be.

can't wait
