PRE AM LEGEND!!
Merrick here...
Back on November 28, we posted an message from an untested source who revealed that the new I AM LEGEND project, previously announced as a prequel, was actually a far less logical/appealing sequel. You can find that post HERE.
And because that source had never been tested, we urged the masses to consume said information with a grain of salt, which is a mighty fine thing to have done 'cause that "sequel" information was bunk...at least according to Will Smith.
Will Smith: We have a fantastic prequel idea…we’re still trying to work through a couple of bumps in the story. It’s essentially the fall of the last city – the last stand of Manhattan. The movie would be…within the body of the movie D.C. and then Manhattan would fall as the last city. It’s a really cool idea trying to figure it out…there’s a reason why we have to take a small band and we have to get into D.C. So we have to make our way from New York to D.C. and then back to New York.
...clarified Smith in THIS INTERVIEW over at Collider.
THIS...I can imagine & wrap my brain around. When I saw I AM LEGEND, nothing about it wreaked "franchise". I can't say it's a world I'm particularly giddy to revisit, but...given the glimpses of backstory we saw in the film...if we gotta deal with more of this at all, backwards is definitely the way to go.

w/the third part being I WAS LEGEND

Were kind of L-A-M-E.
-
A group of people has to get from point A to point B through a zombie infested landscape...gee I haven't seen that before.
-
MAKE A SEQUEL! PREQUELS SUCK ASS!
-
they are just trying to figure it out how they will shove up it right in our ass, don't you become tired of their promotional and demagogic speeches. Money, it's a gas...
-
How do you really kill all suspense and drama from a movie? You reveal what happens in the ending. Will Smith is dead. We don't care about what happened to him before I am Legend.
I Am Legend is so unforgettable anyway. Go ahead, Will. Make this movie. It'll be sweet to see that you can bomb. -
I have a shoddy and unsubstantiated theory that Mr Will's only invested in these films as they have him as "Legend" in the title, regardless of the context.
But, I have yet to get approval from the rest of the scientific community. -
But I think as far as his performance was concerned, he did a pretty good job. I liked the movie and my only issue was the way the vamps looked. They were a little too CGI. But the movie was a good film that gets unfairly bashed. It's not like the Heston version was any better.
-
Starring Neil Patrick Harris.And you can't see this as a franchise?
-
Thought I'd join the title-naming fistfight...
-
He won't bomb with a prequel or sequel to "I Am Legend". It will take him doing another foolish movie like "Wild Wild West" to bomb again. But the dude has so much goodwill with the American movie-going public that I don't see it happening any time soon.
-
NPH would have taken out all those LAME vampire things and the Cloverfield monster. There would be no need to make these movies because NPH only needs 5 seconds to make it all happen and is not worthy of a feature length film, thus saving people 20 bucks each, which would be pumped elsewhere into the failing economy thus giving it the boost it needs to recover and hence saving the entire WORLD. NPH is badass.
-
Until the last act where the entire story collapsed and burnt down to the ground after being hit by that out of nowhere 'plot twist'. Also, yes, the monsters basically looked like The Mummy 1.
-
Word.
-
Just fly in an kick zombie vamipires tales.
-
Some people on this site and others seem to like to blame Will Smith for...I don't know...EVERYTHING, when the man is a fairly competent actor and is just making a living. This movie will probably suck though, but I thought Legend was pretty good thanks largely in part to Mr. Smith.
-
to complete and utter crap. Thank you.

Mind you, how can we be surprised? After all, Hollywood wanted to do a sequel to Titanic! Look out for these titles coming to a cinema near you soon:Ei8ht - The long-awaited sequel to Se7en, featuring John Doe's apprentice, Jane Doe, taking revenge against Detectives Mills and Somerset by staging murders based on the less well known Eight Naughty SinsMore American Beauty - following the ghost of Lester Burnum as he tries to look out for his daughter and her lover, who in his absence have become a Bonnie and Clyde style criminal couple. Hilarity ensues.Warmth - Michael Mann's electrifying follow-up to Heat, with Al Pacino's dogged cop Vincent Hanna on the trail of Val Kilmer, while flashbacks fill us in on how Neil McCauley (De Niro) first got his crew together. Described as the Godfather Part II of cheap cash-ins.No Country For Young Men Either - Anton Chigurh (recast as Jason Statham following "creative differences" with Javier Bardem), the former ice-cold killing machine, reforms his lawless ways after a chance meeting with a beautiful young woman (Maggie Gyllenhaal). However, his past catches up with him and he must escape with her from the clutches of bad men, while trying to find where the hell he left that bag full of money from the first film. Lou Letterier currently attached to direct.Madagascar II - A pointless sequel no one wanted to a pointless movie no one saw. Surely the most far fetched on the whole list.Hang on a minute...
-
Why don't they do a sequel from the POV of the monsters? With no dialague. That's what I'd do.
-
You mean like plot, character, and subtlety? No, you pretty much got rid of those.
-
is he making Bad Boys 3, Men In Black 3, Less-Than Fresh Prince of Bel Air and Jersey Girl 2: Revenge of Will Smith
-
He runs around a lot in the rain, yells, and has ear enlargement surgery? I'd have to smoke "Seven Pounds" of weed to get me in a frame of mind for that (rimshot).

The Eskimo, I respect that you enjoy Mr. Smith
by shut the fuck up donny
but saying "the man . . . is just making a living" made me laugh out loud.
What, is he making $50k a year for these films, and just squeakin' by?
If so, the man needs a better agent. -
Look, we all know how they end already. The events that take place in any prequel are not as important as those that take place in the climax. Prequels string together a bunch of exciting action sequences but ultimately have nowhere to go. The end is just the beginning of the original, with hopefully a "twist" that will make us re-evaluate the original after the fact. Who cares?

Damn "fresh" (c)rappers, crapping on Richard Matheson's legacy...
-
I guess a prequel to I am Legend would at least be better than a sequel to Hancock. Although I am so sick of "the infected" movies I could puke.
-
Probably not though.
-
I AM CORNHOLED!!

This is why prequels are always a shit idea.
-
Period.

There seems to be a lot of controversy about a site that may or may not be a new Batman viral website called Penguin Munitions. http://tinyurl.com/5lxzoj
I just wondered if anyone knows anything about it. I really wouldn't put it past Warner Brothers to pull something like this to promote the Dark Knight DVD release on Tuesday. -
Just make the monsters (vamps?, whatever the fuck they are) look real. If it weren't for those retarded looking cartoon characters jumping around on the screen, I would have loved the first one. Just have people in make-up, or get some tips from James Cameron. Or, better yet, have him direct it! I would be excited then.
-
Why can the last city to fall be...I don't know...Butte, Montana or Bend, Oregon?
-
would be easier for me altogether if they had followed the book a whole lot better than they did. They not only lost me with this totally absurd prequel idea, but the with the first film as well. For philosophical human extinction films I'll stick with Danny Boyle and George Romero, and not Will Smith, thank you. It really makes me wonder why they even had to use the I Am Legend name in the first place. Why didn't they exert a bit of originality and create their own franchise? Their I Am Legend ending almost felt like it was co-written by Tim LaHaye.
-
Umm..wait.
-
...is just an expression. He is doing his job and what he loves to do. Money is not the point...the point I was trying to make is that a lot of people here seem to think Will Smith "will ruin yet another film" or some such dribble. I don't think Smith's involvement has anything to do with whether a film is good or bad unless your complaints are specifically with his acting...and most of our complaints with Legend are the CGI vampires which he had absolutely nothing to do with.
-
The Legend Begins?
Basically this is the last few days/hours of the end of the world well humanity anyways. Like we haven't seen that shit a thousand times since NOTLD... and it happens only in america, cause the toher countries of the world don't exist in disaster films. -
Big Willy Popeye battlin the fake-ass zombie vampires, chowin down on spinach to stay powered up.
-
...makes me feel like some sort of crazy Fresh Prince fan club member or something. I don't even really like Smith all that much as an actor. I just think some of the Will Smith hate I hear on the Legend talkbacks is not really valid.
-
I would love to see a prequel. The idea that Will Smith was the last man on Earth was appealing, but between the CGI vampires and other survivors, IAL was a piss poor movie. But a prequel sounds pretty damned exciting. Like Cloverfield without the first-person shakey cam. And lots of upclos EFX.

Arnie wouldnt be fighting the vampire hordes, he'd be employed by them. The nazi-loving cockstain......

Am I Legend, I Am Legend, I Was Legend, He Is Legendary
by dracula_wants_the_amulet
There you go the Quadrology- if it lasts that long. The infected looked retarded, very bad CGI, and they didn't scare... Just saying. I like Will Smith, he's ok with me- but this movie sucked ass! Omega Man and Last Man rule!
-
The Curious Case of Abe Vigoda
-
Really a prequal? Jesus christ this is just a crash grab. Some states Attorney General needs to charge Hollywood with theft and mugging with all the sequals and prequals coming out. Fuck me running is there nothing orginal or new in the pipeline?
-
I hate seeing movies where I already know the end. It will take the emotional punch out if we already know smith's gonna die later. Blatant money grab - I'll pass thanks.
-
A black guy who is cursed after he beds a gypsy chick and leaves her hanging (think thinner). He slowly turns White. Losing all his cred, his penis gets really small, his voice becoming goofy, he starts losing his abilities to dance and dunk and rap and mac. I'd see it.

Dec 08, 2008 12:18:42 PM CST
the script before will got in wasn't that bad
by dracula_wants_the_amulet
It read and played liek an Arnie flick. The plauge was caused by a cancer cure he created or something like that. the end sucked though, but up until then it sounded great.
-
and you will still have the standard zombie movie... speaking of, Left 4 Dead is amazingly good!
-
I imagine a Legend prequel would be a lot like that except on a bigger scale. I thought the flashback scenes of the evacuation were pretty good. All the vampires, of course, come from Jersey so the first thing we have to do is blow up the GW bridge and the tunnels. Damn you Jersey vampires.
-
I think it might have something to do with the guy thinking or asking too much, not being apparently or appropriately humble in the ideas he suggests, particularly with fictional off-shoots of obscenely well loved titles like "I am Legend".It's like a friend you haven't seen comes over and you offer him a drink or something to eat...he instead asks if he can shave your dog, paint your house blue, and fuck your wife/girlfriend while dressed as a fireman slash umpa-loompa...or fuck your daughter if she's old enough (if she's not old enough then he'll politely suggest your mom as an alternative). All with a straight, friendly, "it's ok if I just take everything right? thanks!" oblivious face. I'm not attackin the guy tho, just his MO for film ideas! Dig it, I first noticed it when he said he was getting his wife to hit up the Wachowskis to put both him and his son (the kid from Happyness, etc) in the Matrix movies in some form (he seemed somewhat jokingly desperate actually). So the Matrix trilogy could be a great movie for the Will Smith family!! How to work the story? Who cares! It's a Will Smith and his family movie!!! Box-office gold dude!Before I get the usual, I'm all for the guy doing movies...in fact, I used to be cynical about rap/music artists being good actors much less not totally shitty actors and Smith was the biggest reason for my change of opinion (I thought he did excellent work in 'I, Robot' even though it was a mediocre film for the most part...he did great work in IAL as well).I don't know what it is...this glib sense of Smith being involved in this idea of "hey! what about what happened when the bridge blew up? we can make a movie right there! and then we can do another about the woman who created the cancer cure which turned out to make the vampires! oh and then we can make a movie about her youth and studying medicine in war-torn blah blah blah" and it never ends. And Will's the guy to do all of it. Someone mentioned building a movie around a villain being a bad idea for the next Bat flick...well...as talented a guy as Smith is...can we get a great story first...then hire the guy? and keep him away from mindless 'spur of the moment' story ideas unless he actually takes the time to write one? Or maybe I'm just a jackass and we should let Billy Crystal play for the Yankees just because he really really likes them.
-
That's a good point about the evacuation scene. Didn't that cost like 20 million dollars to shoot or something? That would probably be the whole budget for the prequel. Too bad these studios can't just concentrate on making one GOOD movie instead of a bunch of lame sequels and prequels.

I actually thought I AM LEGEND was pretty good, at least...
by orbots commander
...until about the last half hour of the movie, which succumbed to a predictable 'run and hide' zombie movie. Too bad, because 2/3 of the movie were pretty darn good. I have to admit, the scene where Smith's character has to put down his own dog got to me. There wasn't a dry eye in the house in the theater I saw it in after that scene. And say what you will about Smith (yes, HANCOCK blew chunks, sorry Will) but it takes one magnetic actor to be able to essentially hold the screen on his own for most of the film's running time.

PLAYING REAL VAMPIRES. Like this cover from the paperback http://www.iamlegendarchive.com/legend/LEGEND.JPG. Give us real vampires yelling "come out, Neville." That's way scarrier than those souless digital meat puppets.

They should make a movie were Africans landed
by dracula_wants_the_amulet
in America first, called it something else, took it over and then europe landed there a war broke out, the euro's lost, they force the reamining euro's to take them back to where they came from. they invade europe and enslaved all the white people. go forward in time to the early 1900. You could subtitle it like apocalypto, since most of the black folks would still speak the many of native african langauges. I'd watch it.
-
Good job, man, those made me laugh. That More American Beauty one actually sounded pretty good, though.
-
If that scene cost $20 million they need to hire the Cloverfield director to do the prequel - cheaper and better. And it would be great IF they get a good cast of characters to play out the origins of this plague as well as the last stand of NYC.

all CGI is going to be done overseas with in
by dracula_wants_the_amulet
the next ten years. It will be way more cheaper than it is now. Lucas/ILM has the CGI rendering stuff done overseas in Singapore. Soon both Keyframe Animation and Modeling will make the shift and be done overseas as well for much less in countries like China, Taiwan, and Singapore. I personally hate it. It means less jobs for Americans in this particular line of work. The era of American Citizens doing special effects in American Made Films is coming to an end Isn't Capitalism great...
-
Kind of like Almost Famous meets I Am Legend
-
Not as good as the original film
-
Yes I saw 28 Weeks Later and except for a couple of parts I really didn't care for it that much.Now, with that being said, I'm not rooting against this, or any movie, tt's just that recent history has not shown sequals, prequals, remakes, reimaging and what not aren't any good. Maybe this will be good but I'm thinking no not really. Here's to hoping!
-
Orcus did like the escape through Washington Heights in the alternate ending though
-
Those were the weakest element of the original film. I would expect them to be even more involved in a prequel dealing with the fall of civilization. If they don't overhaul the embarrassing CGI, this will come off like a cartoon.
-
win.
-
Anal, I know, Merrick, but the correct usage of "wreaked franchise" would be "reeked franchise," as in smelled of franchise. Wreaked is like "wreaked havoc" means to inflict. I post this since I know we all want to speak correctly between body-part metaphors and expletives. :)
-
Wouldn't big cities be the FIRST cities to fall since this stupid thing seems to be infectious? Just keep shitting on Matheson's grave. Obviously no one minds.
-
And my line should have read "wreaked is like 'wreaked havoc,' WHICH means to inflict." We're all sinners.
-
Except that Will Smith's voice is already goofy and his rapping skillz are butt.
-
And see what came crawling out of all those crashed saucers.
-
Smith's twin brother also survived the outbreak, and he was living right next door the whole time.
-
Name a sequel that was made as a prequel that was better than the original, or even just as good. You can't? You know why? It doesn't exist. It never has existed and it never will exist. Prequels are stupid attempts to explain a story of which we already know the plot lines and the outcomes. There is never a reason to make one and never a reason to go see one.
-
Orcus has a problem with that letter
-
....that is it...say what you will.
-
...should have ended with him killing the dog.

Who cares when AVATAR is fucking our eyeballs in 2009?
by motoko kusanagi
nobody
-
Seriously though, fuck this. Stupid idea. -
With this fucking idea. The end of the world is DONE, people. Done to fucking death. Let them wrap this genre up with Y: THE LAST MAN (with NO FUCKING LEBOUEF, DO YOU HEAR, PEOPLE?!?!?) and WORLD WAR Z, then let it lie for a good fifteen to twenty years. Is anyone else suffering from Apocalypse Fatigue?
Although, I could deal with an ID4:2. There's always room for ID4:2. -
Ah, who am I kidding? 'I Am Quite Well Known' is going to suck CGI vampire zombie cock.
-
A case of pure movie stupid. The Dark Seeker Female, once cured, would have been a natural companion to Smith. He would have to regain his humanity by helping her to regain hers. The Braga girl, and the boy should *never* have been in the movie at all. On a positive note, watching the infected adapt and evolve into Dark Seekers would be fun. Did anyone watch the extra clips on the 'Day of the Dead' DVD, when a guy documents his changing into a zombie? Something like that as a minor storyline would give I Am Kinda Legendish the texture it needs.
-
I finally got around to watching I Am Legend last night. I had been avoiding it for the longest time because I really enjoyed the original book.
I can basically sum up my experience of watching that movie with one word: RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE
*ahem*
I really don't think I need to elaborate more than that. Any attempt at a prequel to that abortion of a movie is just insulting really. -
I'm a Legend Tonight! Gonna make you feel right! When you turn off the light--I'm a Legend Tonight! Bonus points for whoever can name the band, year and album.
-
And Smith's gotta make his tithing quota
-
Legend Harder.
-
Legend Harder.
-
Shamoan!!
-
...going to be any good? Who gives a flying shit?
I think that Avatar will literally be raping my eyeballs. Movies filmed only in 3D are usually abhorred by the mainstream audiences. They enjoy the hell out of the first five minutes, their eyes start aching after 15, and they are near ready to leave the theaters after 45 minutes. 3D movies belong in amusement parks, not movie theaters. -
And then sequel.."Oh, I am Legend".So what's today's reason as to why this story is simply unfilmable as written? A giant squid atttacks Manhattan in the end and that's gotta be dumb on film? Some Ayn Rand bullshit about plot? Matheson is a notorious "diva" and will throw a cell phone at your head, possibly knocking out your eyeball? What is it today? Too like all the other vampire movies? Too many zombies? Too many zombies getting diced by helicopter blades? CGI not sucking enough?
-
The blame falls squarely on the nards.
-
Playing the fortune cookie game.
-
the prequel.

Why not sequal to Made In America while you're at it. You could release it on Blu-Ray as a box set; Sequals You Never Wanted To See To Movies Your Forgot Exsisted.
-
Note to whoever thinks this is a good idea...please take the nearest exit from the gene pool.
-
Because those cities are bumfuck middle of nowhere non entities. When Rome fell it was a big deal. When the dozens of cities around it fell, no one gave a shit. New York, L.A., Chicago, D.C. Actual American cities.

Wait, wait....Will Smith is a Scientologist?! Not another one!
by orbots commander
What is it with highly paid movie stars and Scientology? Maybe Will very soon have his very own Oprah-couch-jumping episode. Jeez, I hope the Scientologists stay the frack away from other good creative people in Hollywood. David Fincher, Benicio Del Toro, Charlize Theron and Amy Adams....look out!
I think that the real non-CGI infested zombies are the Scientologists. -
REEKED
-
...prequel piece of shit idea…we’re still trying to work through a couple of bumps in the story, but my ego it too f*cking big. It’s essentially the fall of the film industry – the last stand of creativity. The movie would be…within the ass of itself My ego and then LA would fall as the last city. It’s a really big pile of shit trying to figure it out…there’s a reason why we have to take a small band and we have to get into my ass. So we have to make our way from my ass to LA and then back to my ass. Then we take a shit on the audience.
-
why are we even talking about what will just be a mediocre prequel to a mediocre movie? The script had a lot of promise and they blew it with unrealistic CGI. End of story.
-
of course we know it won't...
-
If I, y'see, go aaaaaaaaawlll the way over here, and I stick my straw over here, y'see, in your drink, then - bitch, please! I drink your milkshake, bitch! I drink that shit right the fuck up! AW HEEEEEEEELLL NAAAAAAW!!! DRAAAAAAAAAAINAAAAAAGE!!! DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIINNNNAAAAAAAAAGE!!!!!!!
I'm finished, motherfuckers. Aw hell, naw. -
Will Smith's, that is...
-
And for the record: prequels are the most slovenly storytelling possible.
-
or use an idea of his...the will smith version sucked anyway. the vincent price version is the shit!
-
seriously, i could not care any less. Besides, Manhattan, and New Yawk as a whole is such a shithole, filled with shitheads, that it would be one of the first to fall. It certainly wouldn't be the last.
-
Smith plays a guy who accidentally kills seven people when he crashes into a bus. His guilt is so strong that he goes out and finds seven people with physical ailments that he can donate his organs to after he has his friend (played by the underrated and probably wasted barry Pepper)help him commit suicide. Along the way he learns about life and falls in love with Rosario Dawson but ends up going through with it anyway. There I just saved you a few hours and 10 bucks to not see this melodramatic bullshit.
-
As I've said before about this prequel craze, if you have an interesting story to tell, set it up like a regular trilogy or series.
-
Dear Lord(Jesus,Allah,Buddha,Jehova, Krom,Please do not let this movie suck. I like Will Smith but he is forcing me to hate him with all the crap movies he's making.I was really looking forward to I am Legend and was very disappointed by the last half of the movie and the awful CGI. Please hire talented actors to be the vampires in this opportunistic prequel. Even though its being done for the wrong reasons it still has a chance to be good. Let it have interesting plot twists and development the way the first half of the original did. Over and out. P.S. please don't let them fret over getting a PG-13 rating, but focus instead on creating good action sequences that are original and filled with suspense.
-
Premise sounds kinda cool, actually.

Frankly I'd rather see a Ledgend movie about the dog..
by spectrebeeyatch
Think about it the dog made that movie half watchable. The dog was the only interesting part of the film because Will obviously put his love for the family in the dog. Once it died the movie went down hill fast. So make the prequel about the dog: "It's like Air Bud, bit with zombies"
-
last animal focused movie i saw was Turner and Hooch.
-
And if Akiva Goldsman had any respect for Richard Matheson, Will Smith would have transferred his love to the Alpha female Dark Seeker he just healed. That would have been a great movie, but know Goldsman was lazy and used a 'deus ex machina' Woman and boy twist. Slack, slack, slack!
-
Since we know only Smith survives in NY, that dooms every other character in the prequel, as well as whatever their mission is. I don't see it working...
-
I guess they could be going to rescue the dog.
-
I was interested until the late 90's CGI showed up, in a film released in 2007. Two out of three versions of the film are pretty damn good, the Price version (The Last Man on Earth) and the Heston version (The Omega Man). The Will Smith version, while the first to actually retain the title of the source story, failed to engage the audience after Sam died. And what was up with the disproportionate lions?
-
Or anyone else, it seems.
-
Geez, go back to Stormfront.org.
-
that just sells
-
I thought they blew them all up?
-
Aw Hell Naw.
-
Wouldn't it be far away from Manhattan, like Vladivostok or Hobart - something like that?
Alternatively, one of those cities right up in the Arctic Circle which are probably in near perpetual sunlight for months at a time. -
Would be Nome, which would then be attacked by shark-fanged vampires. 40 Days of Legend?
-
SO does Akiva Goldsman and anyone connected to this shit. "I Am Legend" was little more than a remake of "Omega Man" instead of being a movie version of the original novella. Now you want to shit on it MORE?!?!
-
A mysterious prequel plot twist? Will Smith actually has an identical twin. They must fight for who will be the sole survivor!
-
A zombie who is a Will Smith lookalike is constantly mistaken by his fellow zombies for the legend scientist, with awkward, sometimes hilarious results. -
Oops.. I'm showing my age.
-
That's a pretty huge liability for a horror thriller, which are centered around the fear of death. How suspenseful can this be.
-
make mad max 4 instead damnit.
-
RIGHT FUCKING NOW!
-
Will Smith DOES NOT DO GOOD TENT POLE MOVIES (not since MIB anyway). Every mega-movie he has made in the last 12 years has totally SUCKED!!! Hancock was a half-cocked load of crap. He should just stick to movies like Happyness.
-
The funny thing about Barrow is that in real life, they actually aren't without sunlight for 30 days and also, they still have at least a daily flight in and out of there. (Goes without saying that the changes were for dramatic effect).
-
About as close as you could get to the South Pole. Presumably vampire proof for upto 6 months of continuous sunlight. At which point, you'd then probably want to get out of there as it's followed by 6 months of ...
-
Seeing how IMO the "I Am Legend" Movie that came out last year was SO God-Fucking Awful (Coming from me and the fact that I tend to give a lot of movies "credit" or a 'free pass" even when there are major plot holes in them or when major suspension of belief are needed to watch the film...).
This was one of those movies that all the hype and trailers you saw up to it release really "burned" people...the trailers (which was the best part about the film basically) made it look like it was going to be really cool and a hell of a lot of fun to watch and see how it was updated/re-booted from the beloved-campy-cheesey 70-ies version "Omega Man" with Chuck Heston in it.
Instead, the audience was let down with a movie that had really, really, REALLY bad CGI created Characters/Monsters in it, the main characters sucked and when the movie was over? It was to late for me to demand my money back from seeing it and being suckered into watching IT!!
Now there is talk of a "Prequel"?
What? Are the powers that be at the studio fucking nuts!?!? Has Will Smith been driven slowly insane by his association with Tom Cruise and the Church of Scientology!?!?
The horror of it all...the horror! -
Daylight the whole way. Hole up for the night pretty much anywhere once they got to D.C. Where's the drama? It'll just be Will Smith and his real-life kids (c'mon, you know he'll cast his own kids) driving down the road playing the alphabet game and I Spy. "Are we there yet?" Bring in Ice Cube as the estranged brother fresh out of jail looking for a new start. Boom.

My posts were random brain farts, and I hate bigots and racist. My Dad is invited to the Obama Inaugural Parade. Shows what you know.

Everybody Dies appart from Will Smith.

Won't get produced. Truste me on this one.

Just make a movie out of that if you want to devestate D.C.

Someone had to say it.
Also lol @ Lamerz and his nerd rage. -
Or... You Know I Be Legend Either would work.

Film ended for me after the dog died. Even after that scene they had a chance to make it very similar to the book.
-
Awww hell yes?

Equally intriguing plotlines:
A prequel to Cloverfield before the monster ever arrives.
A prequel to Dracula that follows around Jonathan Harker before he meets Dracula.

Then I discovered viagara.Good times.

...and then don't forget his scene in the video rental store. Smith definitely has the chops to be a great actor...But definitely after that scene, the movie just sucks. and the ending isn't even forgiveable. But I've read Matheson...believe me folks, if a big squid showed up at the end of I am Legend, it wouldn't make the movie any worse than the theatrical release. In fact, from now on, every movie must have a giant fucking slug-squid thing at the end or else! (read: fists will clench, asses will propel feces, pies will be thrown directly into faces, and shit will reign for all time!)

He will play the role of Barack Obama in the movie, "Dreams of my Father." Don Cheadle will play his asshole father, and Maura Tierney will play his mother. Tina Fey will have a cameo as Gov. Sarah Palin, and John McCain will play himself.

Sorry, I just thought that sounded cool.

Fred comes alive!!! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU+

Instead lets do another superman movie with no action, who's with me?

You don't 'gotta' put up with anything, dude. Just don't watch the sequel/prequel if you think it will be shit.

How about: "I'm a money grubbing moron who'll rape any source material I think will net me my next 20 Mil." HEY, I've got a novel idea! How about adapting powerful source material faithfully so that it carries some of the artistic and emotional impact of the source?! Nah, that would never work. Got to cater to the IQ an "sensibilities" of the key demographic to make any 'real money'. Never mind.
