  15. Dont know if this has been posted before... http://www.toxicshock.tv/news/2007/12/04/i...now-be-changed/ Director Francis Lawrence told Sci Fi Wire last week in a press conference, “I don’t want to actually discuss the ending, just because I don’t want, I want people to make up their own minds, but maybe there’ll be an alternate version at some point.” I really hope that the first ending they had is better than the new and that it will be on the DVD as a alternate ending...

  17. http://www.wildaboutmovies.com/movies/I-Am-Legend-Movie.php " Perhaps the greatest compliment to Smith came from the man who first created the character of Robert Neville. "I think Will Smith is the perfect person to portray Robert Neville," author Richard Matheson states. "I've seen almost every film he has made, and he is always totally convincing in whatever role he is playing. In this story, his character is key and, therefore, he is key." "
  18. http://aintitcool.com/node/34999 "well, I saw "I am legend" yesterday. I am a miserable old coot with no life, a deep rooted hatred of Hollywood schlockbusters, and a sincere conviction that a) Akiva Goldsman should burn in hell, and that b) the Fresh Prince just isn't an action star, not matter how much he pumps up (to Dolph Lundgren-esque proportions by now). I have followed the development of this movie since the time it was supposed to star Schwarzenegger (a story perfectly retold in "The greatest sci-fi movies never made" - buy it!). I know the original story, I have the Vincent Price version (odd, but strangely satisfying), I love the Charlton Heston version (I'm a kid of the 70's - sue me), and I recently listened to the superior BBC radio adaptation. All of which should strongly indicate that I went into this screening with a desire to hate whatever the director of numerous J-Lo videos, the writer of "Batman & Robin", and the lead actor from "Wild Wild West" were going to throw at me. And yeah - it started tacky enough: Loads of attention grabbing shots of a digitally depopulated New York coupled with a "chase scene" that combines Fast & Furious-style driving with distractingly obvious CGI animals. But then the movie proper started - and man, it's a BLAST! I don't care what everybody else says, but this bitch ROCKS. Not just because they actually manage to build a plausible backstory (even for the "vampires"), and give the scenario an atmosphere of dread and isolation. No, "I am legend" works because despite all the action sequences and FX fireworks, it's still very much the story of a lonely man incapable of accepting fate. The finer details of the script are too numerous to list here, but if you look for it, everything in the movie has a subtext, a mirror opposite, or some deeper connection. Mankind brings the plague upon itself, and every time things take a turn for the worse, someone has caused it. Even Robert Neville is responsible for everything karma throws at him, and when his carefully balanced world starts to unravel, it's strictly because he made mistakes, ignored facts, slipped up. I can not praise Wil Smith enough in this one - his Robert Neville is a man clearly trying to hold on to his sanity, but man, it is slipping. You can see that his strict daily fitness and security schedule is the only thing that keeps him from going totally bonkers. And when things go from bad to worse (well, in this case from worse to worst), he rapidly unravels. He is no hero. He is frightened, mad, alone, desperate, hateful. That's another thing: Despite the big budget, big property, and big star, "I am legend" is not a heroic blockbuster. It's almost - intimate. There, I said it. Robert Neville might be a trained scientist and soldier, and he is trying to save mankind, but he is also a lost soul. Again, it's all in the details: His daily radio call to find other survivors ends with "Please... you are not alone". And in the "please" we feel his pain, because: HE is alone. I was stunned how well Goldsman and Protosevich have not only updated the original script, but filled out all the blanks, eliminated a ton of inconsistencies, and elevated it from a "survivor movie" to a deeply affecting human drama. Only after seeing this film did I realize how unsatisfying the previous adaptations were. Apart from the core drama, the action scenes are really well done, with enough pizzazz to satisfy die hard movie fans, bit also enough restraint to make them plausible and real (no Michael Bay style editing here). There is also actual suspense built into the action scenes - the "dog attack" is nothing short of stunning. I also liked the way they told the backstory fast, and integrated it into the movie. Zero fat, folks. You may not want to hear this, but "I am legend" is a blockbuster remake that actually stands head and shoulders above the original. Is it a perfect movie? No. The decision to depict the "vampires" as agile CGI creatures was a big mistake. They sap a lot of the reality out of the movie. And they are not very well done, with unconvincing movements and distracting facial tics. And while Neville is never painted as a messiah (see the ending of the Heston version), some unnecessary references to religion and faith could've been eliminated. But that's a matter of personal taste. The story also requires Neville to be immune to the virus, a bigshot soldier, AND a proficient scientist. That's a bit much. I was going to list numerous references to "Ground zero" as a drawback, but thinking about it, "I am legend" actually uses the analogy to its advantage: Seeing Robert Neville in a depopulated city, saying "This is Ground Zero! This is my site! I can still fix this!" works on numerous levels... Final verdict? I am STUNNED. This is better than it has any right to be. While it is not (and was never supposed to be) a true adaptation of the Matheson story, it delivers on the potential and dramatic power of the source material. For anyone who claims that big movies can be big entertainment, but not quality entertainment - this one should shut them up."
  19. Buzznet Movie Review: http://www.buzznet.com/tags/iamlegend/jour...buzznet-movie-r eview-i-am-legend/ You’d think with the hefty marketing package that I Am Legend is being pushed with that this was the summertime. The previews, the star power, and the ambitious concept all seem to suggest that. Superstar Will Smith portrays Dr. Robert Neville, the lone survivor of a man-made viral outbreak that has destroyed the entire world population. Creepy images of CGI monsters (rumored to be “zombies” or “vampires”) are hinted in the trailers. Because of this, I went into this film expecting standard horror fare. (Not that that’s a bad thing.) However, I was treated to a haunting and disturbing character study that later devolves into what I expected. I should explain. (And I will!) Richard Matheson first wrote I Am Legend in 1954 and it has been made for the screen 3 times. (Four if you count the straight-to-video An Omega this year.) Every adaptation has, so far, been fairly complex and relied fairly heavily on the vampires that Matheson’s novel introduced. (They’ve also appeared as zombies as well.) What Francis Lawrence’s I Am Legend does is eliminate the entire idea of a “supernatural” monster: A project Dr. Neville worked on to create a cure for cancer backfired and mutated to give birth to a virus that essentially renders it’s victims into a bizarre state of light sensitivity and cannibalism. In this sense, the creatures in this movie are not anything we’ve seen before. While fans of the novel are probably already crying foul, as the movie departs very drastically from the novel in the second half, I found that this movies enduring strength is it’s first hour, which is quite faithful to the novel. We’re shown a completely abandoned and desolate New York City, in a cinematical feat that is sure to become it’s own legend in years to come. The asphalt streets are cracked and decayed. Vines and weeds poke out of the ground and string from building to building. While cars, vehicles, trucks, and busses are left abandoned when they were evacuated three years prior, deer and wildlife, left unchecked by the lack of all humankind, have set in to roam down 5th street. This is a post-apocalyptic world that is shocking and mesmerizing. The difference between this movie and the inevitable comparison to 28 Days Later is that in I Am Legend, a great deal of the movie takes place in the warm, sunny day time. 28 Days Later, with it’s gritty filming style, only presented us with a dark, grim world. The magic of I Am Legend’s first hour is the realism of the enviroment. And then we see Dr. Robert Neville for the first time. Will Smith’s hair is cut short; he’s gaunt, yet physical. Gray hairs peek through his beard and head. His trusty German Shepard is at his side. In one of the more surreal moments of the film, we see a lone man hunting for wildlife in downtown Manhattan. The movie moves on from this introduction to continue telling us how this man lives. Previously a Lieutenant with the Army and a world-renowned virologist, we’re told through flashbacks how a possible cure for cancer mutated and killed off nearly 98% of the entire population. Surviving alone for over three years, Neville barricades himself off from the mutated monsters at night in an apartment stocked with weaponry, canned foods, music, and movies. What we’re presented with, and what makes this movie so incredible, is a man who has developed an infallible routine to help him survive and keep him sane. Since there are no other humans around, he openly talks to his dog as if it’s a real person. The dialogue isn’t forced in order to further the plot. It appears as if the camera is simply there, capturing a moment in time. Neville makes his rounds about the city, collecting food, medicine, and any other supplies he may need. And every day, he waits at a particular pier for anyone who hears the radio signal he sends out, every day. For three years, no one has showed up. Will Smith is absolutely engrossing and I can’t believe I so highly enjoyed a performance of his. When Neville’s “system” is disrupted (I won’t spoil it for you), he pulls out no emotional stops. There is a particular scene in a record store, just past the halfway mark, that had me gaping in horror and in tears. It’s perhaps Smith’s most glorious performance of his career and worthy of some sort of recognition. Throughout the film, the subtle twitches of his face and the desperation in his eyes contribute to realizing a character bent on trying to right the wrong he arbitrarily helped commit. The latter half of the movie is more action-based. It’s entertaining, creepy, and full of “jump-out-of-your-seat moments, exactly as I had expected from such a movie. It’s not bad at all and the resolution is bittersweet, if not a bit too heavy on the visual metaphors. (When you see the church, you’ll understand.) This film’s first 60+ minutes is nearly perfect. Taut, suspenseful, and incredibly smart, if just a bit slow. (I wouldn’t want it to be a faster pace, though.) It may be being billed as an action-adventure-horror flick, but it’s too complex and nuanced for that. If you’re a fan of the book, I don’t know how you’ll feel about this movie. There are no vampires and the “Family” element is completely gone. However, Akiva Goldsman has written an adaptation that, in my opinion, is incredibly faithful to the idea behind Matheson’s novel: How would man act if there were no other people around?
  20. Heres a review from: http://www.latinoreview.com/news/reader-s-...-am-legend-3435 "The entire population of the planet has been wiped out by a man-made virus that was designed to cure cancer. When man plays God, the Devil comes out to play and a small percentage of survivors have turned into blood-thirsty creatures with skin that burns in sunlight. Will Smith is a military scientist who was working on a cure when the crap hit the fan and Manhattan was cut off by blowing up the river crossings. Didn't help 'cause he's all that's left. He lives where no black man has ever lived before, a townhouse in Washington Square with a German shepherd and conduct experiments in the basement to find a cure. Though the New York he lives in is a few years from now, it must be in some kind of Warner Bros./D.C. Comics alternate universe, because in Times Square on 47th St. and Broadway is a giant billboard with the Batman/Superman comic book logo from a movie we know will never get made. Times Square as well as the rest of the city is barren, save for foliage and the occasional herd of deer. In one sequence Smith chases a herd in a suped up red Mustang only to run into Simba and his pride who show him who's really king of this concrete jungle. Guess someone left the gates to the Bronx zoo open. Smith like to workout, play golf on the Intrepid aircraft carrier and converse with his plastic friends. No he's not into kinky stuff, but he's set up a couple of mannequins at that abandoned Tower Video location in the Village. He even asks the “clerk” who’s the pretty girl in one section of the store – the porno section if you look closely. Though his German shepherd is a loyal dog, she sometimes gets him into trouble. In one of those "don't go in there" scenes, the dog chases a deer into a dark building. Those creatures like to hide in the dark so if I were Smith I'd tell the dog she was on her own, but of course he doesn't. Can't say I blame him since this German shepherd is the last “man's best friend” for the last man on Earth. A good hour of this movie is Will Smith and the dog and though that sounds pretty boring I was surprised to find myself on the edge of my seat. There's one spry sequence with the dog going into that dark building but basically no action. I didn't mind, but I wished those CGI creatures didn't all look the same. They seem to really hate Smith too and are always screaming or trying to bite into him. One in particular, the leader, looks like an angry hairless Bruce Willis. As if Bruce Willis wasn't already angry and hairless. Before I read the graphic novel, I was interested in what the rumored Ridley Scott and Arnold Schwarzenegger "I Am Legend" was gonna be like. Whatever city it was to take place in, you know that Arnold was probably gonna blow up half of it before the movie was over. As a Ridley Scott film it probably would have been filled with smoke and taken place entirely at night. They would have changed the ending as well, like they did here, but at least this one has the same nobility as the book. There's a point when it looks like Smith might get a little action between the sheets when Alice Braga and a little boy show up as uninfected survivors. They actual hook up in the graphic novel, but I was surprised to find I'm glad they didn't get it on here. He still tries to turn her on with a little Bob Marley though. Still after catching her in "Lower City" I wouldn't have mind seeing Braga naked. "I Am Legend" is a drama and Will Smith hits this one out of the park. It's not easy for a former rapper from Philly to play a guy living alone with a dog and have the audience sympathize with him, but it works. Sure he sheds a few tears, but they seem genuine and not like someone off camera held an onion under his eye. You feel for the guy because he feels helpless, feels he can't save mankind and has lost his wife and child. If Salli Richardson were my wife I'd cry too. I don't know what they did, but they really represented New York well. This is the Manhattan that I know, not a studio back lot with grass and weeds growing through the concrete. When Smith turns his mustang off of Sixth Avenue he hits Fifth, then the flatiron building and Park Avenue or whatever familiar landmarks and locations there are throughout this familiar city. It must have cost them a fortune and when Smith fans discover this 'aint an action movie, they'll never make that money back. "I Am Legend" was made by the same guy who directed "Constantine" and they are obviously two different movies. For once we don't get an Mtv video style pic that's made by a former music video director. The fact that you really feel like you're in an abandoned New York makes it feel more real and helps you connect to Smith more. I just wish the creatures were more realistic or even Vampires like in the book. If you like Will Smith, come check out a way you haven't seen him act or may not again. It's not his all-time academy performance, but its miles ahead of seeing the Governator blow up most of New York. Overall I give this film Two and a Half Stars"

  23. "Actor WILL SMITH will be donning his director's cap for his next project - a remake of 1984's KARATE KID. The Pursuit of Happyness star, 39, is reportedly working on a modern-day version of the martial arts movie, with his nine-year-old son Jaden taking on the lead role of Daniel, originally made famous by Ralph MACchio. Smith Jr. will star alongside Rush Hour's Jackie Chan, who will play the boy's mentor, Mr Miyagi, according to reports." http://www.contactmusic.com/news.nsf/artic...0remake_1045217
