Terrible.

Trust me, in that situation there is no way I could have made those brain dead mistakes they did.
 
I hope these zombies are better than the usual kinds. Though the zombies in 28 Days Later are the best.

w/ Will Smith.... looks like it will be a good movie.

Anyone seen the trailer yet?

Yep, agreed.
Like the theme type, 12 monkeys, 28 days later etc mixed in with some kind of demon dog.
"I am Legend" may be a biblical reference to an expelled demon which led to a mass swine suicide, or was it ‘my name is Legend’?

"Just as vampires were regarded as legendary monsters that preyed on the vulnerable humans in their beds, Neville has become the last of a dead breed: a mythical figure that kills both vampires and the infected living while they are sleeping. He becomes a legend as the vampires once were, hence the title."
 
I read the book...they are vampires, not zombies. Though the movie looks like it's hardly going to even come close to following the original story.

I Am Legend is a 1954 science fiction novel by Richard Matheson about the last man alive in Los Angeles.



The book takes place in the then-future of 1976-1979. The novel opens with the monotony and horror of the daily life of the protagonist, Robert Neville. Neville is apparently the only survivor of an apocalypse caused by a pandemic of a bacterium, the symptoms of which are very similar to vampirism. Every day he makes repairs to his house, boarding up windows, stringing and hanging garlic, disposing of vampires' corpses on his lawn and going out to gather any additional supplies needed for hunting and killing more vampires.

Neville's psychological disposition is a significant element in the novel, and his struggles with despair imbue the character with intensity and gravitas. The author emphasizes that he is an ordinary, flawed man trying to deal with an extraordinary catastrophe. It also explores the loneliness of being by himself, excitement and hope of finding others, and disappointment over still finding himself alone.

Much of the story is devoted to Neville's struggles to understand the plague that has infected everyone around him, and the novel details the progress of his discoveries. Instead of asking the reader to accept a supernatural explanation for vampire phenomena, the author strives to offer scientific basis for such symptoms as aversion to garlic, craving of fresh blood, and resistance to bullets but vulnerability to stakes and sunlight. The aversion to mirrors and crosses is classified as psychological.

AAP, I heard the mist is the feel bad movie of the millenium. What was so bad about the ending? everyone die or what?

Oh, and all in for I am legend.

after reading that wiko entry I suspect stephen king ripped off "I am legend" for much of "Salem's Lot"

I remember as a teen staying up all night to finish Salem's Lot and then going to school at 8am
I had to finish it that bad and couldn't put the book down

Looks like the new movie is going to follow more with "Omega Man" than the book, much to my chagrin.

They drove until they ran out of gas. They past numerous other cars that had gas in them and could have easily swapped vehicles. They past gas stations and didn't gas up. The dude shot everyone, including his little son, in the head to kill them when they ran out of gas. He opens the door and gets out, 30 seconds later the Army comes by with survivors and safety behind it.

not how the book ended.
what a good story though, i used to think about what i'd do.
def raid a firearms store to begin with, though that'd be more helpful in a 28 days type of situation.
in a mist, you'd need lotsa stockpiled food and water, plus some sort of underground shelter

I am legend is a short novella. Not even 200 pages. There really are almost zero similarities, both in writing, style and tone of the book, and story. I'd go as far as to say "I am Legend" is more about Neville's despair and lonliness than it is some vampire bug. No rip off there.

I'm tryin' to address that in another karma loaded thread
start out with a karma trivia to grease the wheels so to speak
to preface good discussion
the odds on that are low here
 
it's like being in the cafeteria in high school or college
you sit with your friends and have discussions
the others in the cafeteria are tuned out
C&C is the cafeteria
and I have discussion friends here
but you have to talk through the other cafeteria threads/posts

I read it like 15 years ago, but I think it ends with them driving.
They hear something on the radio and they think there are other survivors in some other city, like Pittsburgh or something, so they start driving to that city.

Holy cow. I never knew Omega Man and I am Legend were both based on the same novel.

surely you know this is a remake of the Vincent Price flick of the same name, I Am Legend. Similar theme, but no relation to Omega Man.

Actually according to wiki, the remake is goin more in the direction of Omega Man.

Goldsman rewrote the screenplay to be closer to the second I Am Legend film adaptation, The Omega Man, of which he was a major fan.[4] The rewrite was also done to distance the film from the numerous zombie films inspired by the novel.[5] In April 2006, Will Smith signed back onto the project, with production to begin in 2007 in New York.[22] A forty-page scene-by-scene outline of the film was developed within the next month. When delays occurred on Smith's film Hancock, it was proposed to switch the actor's films. This meant filming would have to begin in sixteen weeks: production was greenlit, using Goldsman's script and the outline.[20] Elements from Protosevich's script were introduced, while the crew consulted with experts on infectious diseases and solitary confinement.[4] Rewrites continued throughout filming, because of Smith's improvisational skills and Lawrence's preference to keep various scenes silent.[20]
