I Am Legend
Robert Neville is a scientist who was unable to stop the spread of the terrible virus that was incurable and man-made. Immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and perhaps the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. From TMDB

unlabelledView post →Richard Matheson turns 100 today. You know how I'm always saying people take LONESOME DOVE's greatness for granted? Well another novel whose greatness is often taken for granted is Richard Matheson's I AM LEGEND. It has influenced the last 72 years of genre fiction and film for a reason.

unlabelledView post →Also wild to think about the original I Am Legend movie (from the 70s) creating the modern zombie idea when they are more like vampires in the book and the two ideas are way more muddy historically
unlabelledView post →watching the part in I Am Legend when Will Smith’s dog in the movie stays quiet in the tub with him as they hear the zombies yell and pass their house in the city. my dog wouldn’t do that. he’d bark from the inside and get us both killed.

unlabelledView post →Can confirm, Akroyd was right -- this movie sucks! Directed by Bob Clark (Black Christmas), written by Richard Matheson (I Am Legend) and about a lost Nazi sex tape featuring Hitler (!?) it is however further evidence that Gene Hackman has never put in a bad performance
unlabelledView post →his genre film choices after men in black and independence day are pretty much straight into the toilet (I, Robot and I Am Legend had so much potential to be good and some great scenes, but oof)
unlabelledView post →I read Neuromancer pretty much every year. I always find something new in it. The same with I Am Legend. Another great book. I hope they do a better job of the Neuromancer show than the last I Am Legend film.
unlabelledView post →Apologizing in advance… - modern zombie concept is largely from the earlier Night of the Living Dead (1968). Prior film zombies are less sci-fi, more folklore (and tend to be rather racist) - the first I Am Legend adaptation is the 1964 Vincent Price movie, and they are more vampire-like
unlabelledView post →Ok, after the distraction of many good games, I have finally finished I Am Legend 🧛🏻♀️ Much prefer how the book goes compared to the film! Now time to dip into this absolutely phenomenal story 🙂↕️
unlabelledView post →I just adore Vincent Price’s acting if you have never seen his performance in the 1964 film The Last Man on Earth, you absolutely should it’s a much more direct adaptation of the horror novel I Am Legend by Richard Matheson than the more action-oriented 2007 adaptation starring Will Smith
unlabelledView post →Not a great film, by any means, but for my money, the set up intro of I AM LEGEND with the cancer cure news program piece, followed by a shot of ruined New York THREE YEARS LATER is one of the most effective horror openings of all time.
unlabelledView post →one of my top 10 fun facts of all time was that Jean-Luc Godard wanted to make a film of I Am Legend. this would have been the mid-1960s.

unlabelledView post →You know, that would make for a solid sad scene for a post-apocalyptic Horror film or another adaptation of I Am Legend. Lead character tries to start up a streaming service but no Wi-Fi and he doesn't have much physical media. That immediately breaks him down.

unlabelledView post →One easy example is the Will Smith movie "I Am Legend," which is one of several adaptations of the Richard Mattheson novel but which completely misunderstands what the book is saying. The book is great. I recommend it! The movie's a stinker. It adds a dog but misses so much of the book's subtext.
unlabelledView post →When the world ended in The Omega Man, there were still film reels to watch at the theater. When the world ended in I Am Legend, there were still DVDs to watch at the video store. If the world were to end now, there would be no Netflix or Prime Video to return to. All that media will be lost.

unlabelledView post →I wondered years ago why dystopia entertainment was so popular. To me, it was clearly a very disturbing genre of film and television. From The Walking Dead to The Hunger Games to I Am Legend to The Road to all of the b-movies and series - what were people getting out of it? Apparently, familiarity.
unlabelledView post →Big reason to not take test audiences too seriously: You get knee jerk "losing the plot" reactions like this. Remember this how we got the inferior theatrical ending to I Am Legend that completely ruined the nuance of the movie

unlabelledView post →Despite Heston, I have always loved this movie from the theater experience right up to today. However, in my opinion the best version of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend was B&W, released in 1964, and starred Vincent Price!

unlabelledView post →I AM LEGEND (2007) which was a good movie from kind of a terrible novel of which I particularly hated the ending, and WINTER'S TALE (2014) which was a decent movie from a novel that was beautiful but also mostly made me feel confused while reading

unlabelledView post →2. I Am Legend, film adaptation was better than the book (okay sure fine I saw the film first, but)
unlabelledView post →I regard the film Annihilation in much the same way as the film I Am Legend. Comparing either to the source material is weird because they went in such different tonal directions. If you treat them as independent from their source the hold up better.
unlabelledView post →l dont know how to explain it but I, Robot and I Am Legend are the same movie
