Words - Big Words & a Bad Boys Sky signal the coming of I AM LEGEND!

Hey folks, Harry here... I'm a huge fan of Richard Matheson's book, I AM LEGEND - which has been turned into cinema twice before. 1st in the Vincent Price art-horror film THE LAST MAN ON EARTH which tonally totally captures the atmosphere of the story. Then most famously in THE OMEGA MAN starring Charlton "pry my semi-automatic out of my cold dead hand" Heston as the last man on Earth. However - for years - pretty much since the beginning of Aint It Cool News - we've been reporting on the various developments of a brilliant script by Mark Protosevich for I AM LEGEND. Developed for two stars... first for Arnold. Then for Will Smith. Now we have the director of CONSTANTINE - a film that I did enjoy, though I felt it was a bit silly. This isn't a poster for anyone's wall. It's pure advertising. And it's bland. The sad part of the poster is that there's nothing legendary about this poster for I AM LEGEND. Here it is... a larger version is available by clicking on the below poster. I hear the trailer is hitting online tonight - and probably going out on every print of OCEAN'S 13.
