I AM LEGEND Plague Signs!!
Merrick here...
Last week, we ran an article featuring set photos from the I AM LEGEND shoot in NYC.
The pics featured a glimpse of "biohazard" sineage. You can access the report HERE.
James was kind enough to send in some extreme closeups of plague warning posters, etc. that will be seen throughout the film's Manhattan setting -- presumably in the background, and whatnot. His images reveal "fine print" detail we're not likely to see on screen -- much detail. We thought we'd pass these along for kicks.
And, of course, thanks to James for his time and effort!

Another lousy Will Smith Movie! In New York! You Know, I wonder if John Titor predicted this before he went back to the year 2036. This is the beginning of the American Civil War! The constant barrage of fraking lousy movies is the catalyst! Bring out your dead! Belgium man, Belgium.

AND BRING A BETTER MOVIE WITH YOU!

Bush is pardoning him and his Administration for their war crimes in the Geneva Convention, we're being spied on, we can be arrested and named an enemy combatant and held in jail w/o a trial for years.

That way I can get an original prop version of that middle sign "Stay Home. Stay Safe. It's the LAW." Seeing that makes me want to get stoned (a rarity in the last decade) and listen to Jello Biafra albums. The experience just can't be complete without mounting that sign on my wall next to my lava lamp.

Rob Zombie will be showing The Last Man On Earth some time on his Underground show on TNT in October. I've got a nice letterboxed copy on DVD with the most footage I've seen. But I always feel compelled to watch (and copy) a programming rarity like this to see if some new footage shows up. Rob Zombie should make this new version. I might get excited.
-
...anyway,
there's no way they can re-create the intensity of Chuck Heston firing a shotgun at robed home invaders.
Basically, Chuck's character is desperate to protect all those cases of Cutty Sark he's got stashed.
Fuck the cure when you can just stay home, get drunk and stroke your piece(s). -
5th ave is at EAST 85th st, not west.
-
Amen my brother. Amen.
-
I'm jazzed. It should be fun.
-
Rests on the shoulders of Will Smith.
-
That about says it all! Why waste the title "I am Legend" when it will be nothing like the book. I guess the faithful version could be called "I was Legend". I will boycott this sheet and why is this site giving this movie so much coverage. We should NOT encourage the creation of steaming piles of shit!
-
I,Robot an underappreciated modern classic.This movie sounds good but im stoked about Live Free,Die Hard.I've heard great things.
-
Why put a date on the event of 2009. As a sci-fi film this means in 3 years it will be wrong to most of the public watching the film..."hey remember when that Vampire plague hit NY in 2009? No? You sure?" HELLLL NOOOO 2009 !?! TOO SOON
-
Oh, what a foxy tool!
Maybe if Will Smith was in "Idiocracy" Fox would have supported it. Then again Kiss Ass Will would never challenge his audience with such offensive material. Corporate kiss ass...
"Id like to see that new Will Smith movie."
"What? We dont have time for handjobs!" -
watching I AM LEGEND again in 2009.
They should call this A BOY AND HIS DOG 2...or would that be racist? Anyway we should get a good half hour of TURNER & HOOCH jokes before the action starts as Will drives around NY with his mans best friend. Calling this version "I AM LEGEND" is a waste of a good title if this film is more of a cross of the titles I listed mixed in with a little BULLET & OMEGA MAN blended with 28 DAYS LATER... Oh JOY {: P -
Damn you Michael Bay
-
I thought we'd never reach Jupiter by 2001 after the machine takeover by Skynet in 1997.
-
They changing the ending? Cause that ain't so hollywood if they keep the one in the book.
-
The Last Man on Earth is a pretty close adaptation of the novel. There isn't really any gore but it still gets creepy. Omega Man is hardly anything like the source material, sorry Chuck. The Last Man on Earth is available for viewing in its entirety on youtube just to let you guys know.
-
will smith ? again lightweight actor unsurpassed in his ability to remind us all hes acting everytime hes on screen . this will stink .
-
Where were these pics taken?
-
I'm totally convinced now! this movie is gonna RAWK! Will Smith and Akiva Goldsman Bring it On!! Yeeeaahh!!

signage?

But the other day I saw some French guy's short film on TCM, and I discovered that 12 Monkeys is stolen. I never even bothered to check if it was stolen, because it's Gilliam. Am I going to discover someday that Munchausen is based on some Czech guy's short film? I don't think I could take that. Oh yeah, this movie still looks like it will blow.
-
Boooo, the government doesn't want the plauge to spread. But what about our rights?!?!! Wahhhhhh.
-
No 12 Monkeys was not stolen it was remake that had almost nothing to do with the original since the original was a short.
-
I think it's acknowledged that 12 Monkeys is influenced by the French short La Jetee (never saw it myself). In fact, if I'm not mistaken La Jetee is mentioned in the 12 Monkeys credits. Anyway, I agree with the above poster who commented that Last Man on Earth is a pretty faithful adaptation of I Am Legend. I was able to buy Last Man on Earth on one of those no frills dvds they sell at Kmart for 2 bucks and it was well worth the expenditure. I expect this new version of I Am Legend to appear in the same low budget bin in about a year.
-
But to say that 12 Monkeys is a faithful adaptation is stretching it because the thing is really short. Thats like not respecting the Godfather because its based on a book, or that "Just One of the Guys" sucks because its inspired by 12th night. Everything is stolen and the sooner people get over that the sooner you'll be happy.

...is DANIEL SMITH. Yes, son of Anna Nicole Smith is in negotiations to portray one of the living dead. Proceeds of his appearance will go to Miss Smith's wedding to several unpaid caterers that jettied in caviar and champagne to the yacht she was married on to ambulance-chaser, Howard K. Stern(No relation to the FM shock-jock.) When asked about her son's part in the film, the saucy Miss Smith commented, "Uh, what?" Rumor has it that zombie, Bruce Paltrow will also make a cameo. Film at 11.
-
I guess "stolen" is too strong. But I was just shocked to be watching this little French short [in collage, and not even in film] about time travel, and the protagonist is sent back as part of an experiment to try to prevent an apocalyptic war, and he meets a woman he's been dreaming about since he was a boy, and he also has a memory from boyhood of seeing a man get shot, and it turns out at the end that the man who gets shot is him. But if the short is in the credits, then that's OK.
-
...on this material, why did they recycle the already aging (and none-too-gracefully) interbreeding of the biohazard outbreak/zombie genres? I mean, isn't this ground pretty thoroughly covered by 28 Days Later, Resident Evil and the Dawn of the Dead remake (which I'd love to see a sequel to, just because I know now I can trust Snyder to handle it with the right balance of action, gore, scares and tongue-protruding-from-decomposed-cheek humor). For some reason, when I thiknk of what this movie is becoming and I look back on iRobot, I am always reminded of that episode of Cheers where Frasier reads A Tale of Two Cities to the bar. Maybe this will be more palatable after a day of drinking Norm style?
-
I’m pretty sure Will Smith will come through the rest of the movie ok, like he did I,Robot
-
Isn't that the one where he bitched about his sneakers? Ouch, that one was poo.
-
the fine print on the biohazard sign, considering it will be completely illegible in the background of a half-second shot, or me for reading a few words of it? Yeah, I was afraid of that. I had to ask anyway.
-
The "Popcorn" defense for crap movies is an extremely tired cliche.
Will Smith's non-threatening brand of blackness is pimped to corporate movie factories then packaged as charismatic poser cool.
There is nothing genuine or illunminating about his rote schtick. -
I thought for sure we would have a moonbase "Alpha" by 1999!
Well, maybe by 2019. -
...David and Janet Peoples, in a lengthy article that I read about the movie.
-
That would STILL be more believable than Will Smith's "Up-in-there" attitude.
-
By 2001 we did land on the moon and send a probe to Jupiter and have Space Shuttles and 3 space stations : Skylab-MIR-ISS so the 2001 dream came true a little bit. Putting 3-D video cameras on the next space probes will be cool, not as cool as a Moon base : (
I am Legend 2007...
I am Legend DVD 2008...
I an Legend Network TV 2009...
Dated in 2.
I like how MAD MAX was "A FEW YEARS FROM NOW..." : ) -
I guess it started after he was in 'Wild, Wild West'. I once found him interesting but now I have zero interest in seeing a movie he is headlining. BTW, Tom Cruise has just recently entered that zone, also.
-
This was one of my favorite books of my youth. You really have to read it to discuss any of this. The most chilling part is when he opens his front door to find his dead vampire wife, returned from the grave, trying to speak; "rob-ert...."
-
You are not the only one. Not by a longshot.
-
"The Day After Tomorrow" is surely ripe for a false advertising lawsuit, though.
-
Come'on cinegeeks. Stay home. Refuse to watch this film and let the pre-release bad buzz tank this proportionately to the amount of wind that was taken out of the sails of *Superman Lifts*. Punish this idiotic studio (Warner Bros.) for wrecking their franchises by casting bad actors and unnecessairly tweaking the mythos. This film sucks, literally. We all know it. Spread the word like a virus. Come on out, WB Studio executives, we're waiting for you!
-
Look up the classic *Doctor Who* episode "Day of the Daleks" from the 70s. In it, a time traveler goes back to prevent a war and actually becomes the cause of it. The plot involved timeloop consequences of going back in time to change events. A scenario that happened in *12 Monkeys* but the writers were too stupid to realize that Cole did alter events and got stuck in a timeloop. And thus, despite Bruce Willis being in it, "Day of the Daleks" > *12 Monkeys*.

Shoot
-
The film worked in certain areas like suspense
Will Smith also gave a decent performance -
the effects did leave something to be desired
the dog also gave a good performance, the non cgi one, that is
