I AM LEGEND one sheet is not alone... I'm not sure what that means... but it is all I have...

Published at:  Oct 10, 2007 4:55:48 PM CDT

Hey folks, Harry here with the final I AM LEGEND one sheet. This is much better than that horrid first poster - but it still doesn't have the umph that I was hoping for. Maybe I was hoping for Will Smith on the roof of his house blasting the hell out of the zombie/vampire/diseased-aftermath of humanity... Something more... italian in design. But it's a passive one sheet - but I love the radio broadcast lines going down the poster. Hope we get a new trailer soon that kicks ass! Click on the poster below to humongify it.

    A few of my friends were hoping this would play Fantastic Fest..

    by therealseveren

    because they refuse to see it in theatres. Theyre in the minority of course and i hope this is a huge hit for Francis Lawrence. I dont like the casting but Will Smith and Tom Cruise are the only stars that really put asses in seats so I understand why a studio would want a bankable actor when putting up so much $$$ for a story like this. Its a compromise. I for one, will be there opening night and I have a good feeling about this movie even though I would still like to see a simpler version that follows the book at some point. I still think Ryan Reynolds as Neville and Jack Black as Cortman would have been inspired casting. Having a flashback of the two of them carpooling to work before everything happens and seeing what a good guy Cortman was and then trying to make Black truly scary would have been really interesting to watch. By the way, I respect all of you.

  • actual butts in seats, as his last films can attest. Cruise can hit and miss at times, and we'll see how Hanks does this winter. Smith has proven he can act with the proper material ( Ali, Happyness ), so I'll reserve judgement until this comes out. I recently rewatched 28 Day Later and was impressed with the desolution Boyle was able to acheive on empty London streets on a low budget. I am a sucker for "last man" stories, and the highly digital "New York ghost town" does look good here though.

    I think this can be made better if you still have Smith walking with his dog, but make it down the middle of San Francisco... and have some blurry photoshop images of what could be faces or eyes or something looking at him through the buildings windows.. something subtle.. something that you have to actually look at to spot. Like the radio transmission text though... kinda cool.

    As a Die Hard I AM LEGEND fan...

    by moto

    I was worried when Smith was cast last year. VERY worried. I didn't want to see the Smith acting antics of the popcorn flicks ID4, MIB, etc. I didn't want that type of Neville. Nic Cage was attached for quite awhile, which would have been okay... although now I'm kind of sick of the guy. Sadly enough, I even wanted Arnold himself in the role back when he and Ridley were going to tackle this.

    BUT, after seeing Smith in Pursuit of Happyness, I WAS 100% SOLD ON HIM in this role! 100%. That was really the first role where the antics of Will Smith the blockbuster movie star were null and void. He's sporting his natural gray now too (as he did for that role).

    I'm pumped to see this. Whoever said "Worst Adaptation Ever" is an idiot because THEY HAVEN'T EVEN SEEN IT YET.

    Hopefully they pull off the last man on earth shit very well. It's compelling. As far as the vampire-like tribes go, all I hope is that they inject some realism and humanism into them, rather than make this some lame zombie flick. They gotta be scary, but we gotta see why they are like that. Hopefully they treat them like cursed souls trying to survive, rather than blood thirsty ferrel monsters.

    But I'm sold on Smith. I think naysayers will be surprised. Trust me, I too was appalled at the idea of a Will Smith I AM LEGEND. But you gotta see PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS to know what I mean.

    by d_t

    So far nothing I've seen is even close to the source material - the book is a slow burn, it's claustrophobic - hell Tom Hanks slowly losing it in Castaway is more more on point. I always thought maybe someone like Adrien Brody? I think they've designed a movie to work with how they think Will Smith should be used (Independence Day, I Robot, Bad Boys). My fingers are crossed, it's one of my favorite books.

    First off, the script wasn't so hot to begin with. Any semi-competent search will land you the script from online. Then you realize that we went from the possibility of Sir Ridley Scott directing this mofo back in 1998 with the Governator in the lead role to now watching Will "Awe Hell Nah" Smith in it and adding to the tally of scifi flicks that he has personally ruined. Awesome! Fandango this biotch now! Warner Bros. Pictures needs your hard earned drachmas pronto so they can afford more magic nose candy that allows them to make such brilliant greenlight decisions!

  • "The Omega Man" will still kick the cinematic ass of this flick because Heston is believable in the role. Granted, Heston's Neville seemed to enjoy his status a bit too much, but watching him cheerfully blast those mutant bastards is still fun to watch. I look forward to being able to purchase it on Blu-ray in November. I hope Warner spent more than $5 on the HD transfer, but I won't hold my breath on that assumption. I've yet to be impressed with a WB transfer on HD when compared to the high bit rate [AVC] transfers Sony has done for even films that I consider mediocre like "Hellboy".

    With his pointy ears and bald head, Will Smith looks like Gollum. The one sheet looks so bad they should have just pasted in Gollum instead of Smith like this one

    will's facial expression

    by potsmokinalien

    don't get me wrong--- this poster is dogshit and i would bet money this movie will suck. but i don't think will smith is going to be the guy who ruins it and here's why, i just zoomed in to read the small radio transmission text or whatever and scrolled down and noticed that will smith's facial expression actually is the expression of a man who is not quite convinced he is alone in the universe, who has gone to the same place day after day hoping to have someone else there meet him-- and getting that last little piece of his hope crushed when no one is there, for god knows how long, every single day, and all he has is some stupid looking dog to hang out with. so blame warner bros or (especially) akiva goldman or whatever, but don't blame will smith for the reason this thing will probably suck. the reason people like him isn't because he says 'aw hell no', it's because he seems believable and soulful when he says it and many other things.

    by jimmyjoe redsky

    it was made for an audience that doesnt read and hasnt got the patience to sit through scifi/horror b movie classics like "the last man on earth" and "the omega man" - in other words - not me - having seen "i robot" (which had a good director "dark city") im not hopeful here - but wouldnt it be great if im wrong - if the director for this and even will smith convinced the studio to pay for and release a movie with balls (for a change) - that is scary thought provoking and dares to break all conventions (the hero dies but manages to save someone else in the process - like in "omega man") - i have to admit the trailer looked pretty good - i agree with a previous poster that if this gets a pg-13 im passing - will smith in a big budget scifi/horror/action movie released in december thats rated R - i doubt it

    no one uses actual painted art anymore - for the same reason most movies suck - the audience theyre for are morons that are turned off and confused by real art - they need to see actual photos of the actors in these movies so they can point to the poster and say "me like him - ugh - me see this movie" - even classics like the original star wars trilogy opt for bad photoshop comps for their dvd covers - instead of their great original movie poster art - lame

    by crweb

    Sorry, but if anyone has read Richard Matheson's original novel. If anyone is an I Am Legend fan, I cannot see how anyone will like this. Last Man On Earth with Vincent Price was the best adaption even though Price was woefully miscast as Neville. Heston perfect for the part but Omega Man was no more I Am Legend than Rebbeca Of Sunny Brook Farm. If you're not going to film or stay true to the book why even use the title? Lets do Gone With The Wind, we'll cast Will Smith as Rett Butler and set it in New York. Read the book, Robert Neville is white, story takes place in L.A., no explosions, VERY little gunfire, Neville dies at the end, doesn't need a big budget. I've read the script, it's not I Am Legend. Any talented filmmaker could sit down with the book and use it as the script. This is a disaster.

    This is not Will Smith's fault.

    by dokkalvar

    Will smith is honestly fine for the character, but it was written by Akiva Goldsman and directed by a hack. They took it far far away from its original setting and completely eliminated much of the plot. It's rubbish and I hope it flops but not because Will Smith is a black guy, gets type-cast as the sassy black guy, or that NY is an overused setting or ANY OTHER EXCUSE that will be made other then the money men got in the way and they are the ones who failed. When the fingers start pointing they should be zoned in square towards the suits not Will Smith.

    all apocalypse genres in the seventies. Omega Man was awesome. Vincent Price is great, but I really didn't care for Last Man on Earth. I do own a good copy of the DVD, only $1 at Target, I kid you not. Too bad Chuck is suffering from Alzheimer's or some similar condition. I own a copy of his autobiography, and read his letter to friends and family when he learned of his condition. The man just oozes professionalism, class, humility, and common sense. It's going to suck when he and Clint are gone. At least Clint's in good health. As for Smith being black: who cares? As for him not being a "real" action star I suggest you watch the tunnel scene from I Robot again, especially where we find out about his arm, and when he confronts the other cops. To quote Smith "Does it look like I give a damn what you think?"

    It's like if a builder is told to build a house to a design produced by a developer and then through slipshod technique produces a piece of shit that blows over with the first gust of wind, so the developer comes back and says "don't worry, these things happen" and has him build another house. This goes on and on, with the houses falling in until eventually people stop buying them. Yet the developer still keeps getting him to build houses to the his specifications. enough is enough- put him out to pasture and maybe this shit will stop.

    Smith can do just about whatever he asked to do. Bad actor? Did you pricks see Ali or Pursuit of Happiness? Sure, he started with campy movies like ID4 and whatever else, but he's grown into a good actor. not knowing the book i'm looking forward to this. and if you assholes where a more open minded and less fashionably pessimistic, you would be too. so put that in your morning pipe and smoke it.

    Didn't see Pursuit, and only saw clips of Ali, but you are dead on. If Will Smith is told to play a comical hero, that's what he does. From what I saw of the POH trailer he nailed it. As far as his Aw Hell naaaah line that he does in almost all his movies I have four words for all haters: Arnold "I'll be back." Interestingly enough, he was once attached to this project in his pre governator days.

    To recap all I, Robot haters: First how many have read every single Asimov robot novel. Second, other than knowing the three laws I knew nothing about his robot novels before seeing the film. After I read them I was impressed with how many elements from his novels AND his myriad of short stories were incorporated. Three, now that I've read many robot shorts stories, and most of the novels I know that it would be next to impossible to make a "real" I,Robot movie. Four, Smith was awesome. Five, if the movie sucked, and everyone hates it, then why does FX run it everly week a la TNT Shawshank Redemption?

    ... because the TV rights were cheap, they run it on, like, Sunday morning when there's NOTHING else on but bad anime and lunatic bible-thumpers, and they make some $$s by doing so... doesn't make it a good movie. It is watchable, though... on a Sunday morning when there's nothing else on but bad anime and lunatic bible-thumpers, you have a hangover and just want to kick back with your coffe and Excedrine Migraines and some halfway decent special effects on the tube (even though those iMac robots are kinda creepy!)

    by president plissken

    They're more like afflicted humans that don't like the light. Oh and they drink blood. In the book they "Hulk-up" when they consume. The group that comes to his house every night to mess with him actually sacrifice a few of themselves to the group so a couple of the "warriors" can eat and get bigger, stronger, and more resilient. Then they try to attack. Story better show his fortress house, fences, moats, speakers, weapons, tricked out SUV, and how he DIES at the end!

    I already accepted a long time ago that this movie was going to let me down. It isn't even Will Smith, although that has to be the most uninspired casting of all time. It is the fact that I really don't know how it has anything to do with the origin story other than sharing a name. It is basically an apocalypse story about a guy in NY being chased by monsters. I have read and seen evidence that the "creatures" aren't vampires in any sense of the word other than they hunt by night. "I Am Legend" could have been a haunting thriller and instead it will be a testicle-driven machofest. It just makes me so sad, because the origin story is my all time favorite short story. Just a shame. Hollywood should be forced to stop making films until they can make something that isn't a remake or an adaptation or a rehashing. It is getting pathetic.

    Sorry but I don't see where Will Smith is credited as a producer? Sure he's a heavy-weight but he's not going to tell the producers what to do after they've set themselves on the road to ruin. If anything Smith's sin in this is that he didn't turn the project down. For all I know he took it when it looked something more like the book.

    And for whoever asked whether or not Neville dies in this adaptation, well according to the gold-rod script he simply drives to Jersey with Block-buster woman and girl. Oh, and there's a scene involving him acting like Shrek. So brace yourselves for anger and outrage.
