I Am Legend
After talking about it briefly in another thread, I thought I'd start one about this possible disaster of a movie to see what, or if, anyone thinks about I Am Legend.
I don't know how many have read the book, but just from the previews it looks like they completely destroyed that material, turning it into I, Am Robot Legend as far as adding the action and changing the setting and pretty much leaving the source material in the circular file.
I understand partially why they did it. Its very hard to market a multi-million dollar vampire movie, or any horror movie for that matter, especially when the source material is more of a Indie Film style character study than an Hollywood action/adventure.
And of course this isn't the first time they have gutted this book, concidering the crapfest that was Omega Man back in the 70's. I'm sure many will disagree with me on this one, but when compared to the source material, its has many shortcomings.
Anywho, I'm curious if anyone else has any opinions about this.
