WILL walks around more of NEW YORK, mostly so we can see how empty it is because AMERICAN AUDIENCES didn't grasp it when it happened to LONDON in 28 DAYS LATER.ĭamn, Times Square is now filthy, covered in garbage, and overrun with animals willing to kill each other to survive. It'll be just like those scenes from Castaway where Tom Hanks befriended the volleyball, except my worn-out Fresh Prince sassy shtick will play it up for laughs. I should also set up mannequins everywhere so that I can pretend they are people. It's a good thing I have an unexplained immunity.Īt least I have a dog around, so that I have someone around to talk to and the first hour of the movie isn't complete silence. Well, it sure does suck being the only survivor of a disease that wiped out most of the human population. WILL hunts for animals poorly and generally collects resources for his home, which is an old house with secured windows rather than, say, an abandoned military base. It makes sense but misses the point of the story.WILL SMITH walks around the deserted NEW YORK CITY. If Neville is doing experiments on intelligent, human-like creatures, he becomes much more unsettling to watch. It most likely has to do with the desire to make lead characters “likable”. All three versions made the “vampires” into more mindless creatures and changed the original ending substantially. This flaw isn’t unique to 2007’s I Am Legend though, as it's something that's also been done in the other two adaptations, The Last Man on Earth and The Omega Man.
It would still be a downer ending, as Neville happens to come across as a monster, but that change would at least make it fit more logically in the film. Had the I Am Legend movie portrayed the Darkseekers more like the vampires of the book, this would have been a much easier idea for audiences to go along with. The thing is, I Am Legend isn't supposed to refer to him being a legend for the remaining humans, as the final cut shows, but rather to him being a legend to the Darkseeker, being the monster that haunts their nightmares.
