annuinSo it seems that in December another film version of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend will appear in theatres. I'd say grace the screens, but I'm unsure of whether it'll grace them or come lumbering across them.
I started watching the trailer before I checked the imdb.com listing to see whether it was actually based on Matheson's book. From the first bits in the trailer, where a missile hits Manhattan, I began to think that it wasn't. And then Will Smith's voice comes over the images with "My name is Robert Neville" and then I knew it was.
So, this ought to be interesting to say the least. I'm just hoping that they remain faithful to the core of the book, because that was just such a really awesome story, with an excellent ending. If they fuck up the ending, it renders the entire thing pointless.
