yes I know it is Will Smith. But I loved the book so i\'m still gonna give this one a chance.
You can check out the first trailer for it right here

The book will be much better than the movie and you\'ll be disappointed.
thats why I dont read,haha. The only one that i\'ve really read that turned into a movie was the da vinci code, and the book was 50 times better than the movie.
looks like a good movie though, seeing as I dont have any expectations of what the main character is like
-
Damn. It\'s far worse than I thought it would be. WTF is up with vampires shooting missiles? Or was that to keep the vamps in NYC?

I would assume it was the USAF blowing up a bridge to keep the undead from crossing it.
As I might have expected, you can\'t tell anything about the story from the trailer. However, I still have some problems with it. Why do they show the man\'s wife and daughter leaving on a bus/train? In the story, they didn\'t leave; they died. He threw them into the cremation pit. That\'s a key event that affects his personality.
I still predict that it will suck.

oh trust me, i\'m definately not expecting it to be better than the book. Not by a long shot.
as Cored said tho, it shows nothing really about the story at all. I don\'t expect this to be the last trailer, this is just a teaser if anything. Were just going to have to wait and see if they show us more in the coming months.

Do any of you have the book on audio? (unabridged)
I\'d love to listen to it driving to work and back.

Haha, yeah, definitely made that page and the home page if you ever bother to go there (the only thing on there right now is the movie poster). They aren\'t anything special by any means but its kind of cool to think about how many people look at my work.
As far as the movie is concerned, i\'m just viewing it as having only the slightest to do with the book. I don\'t want to get my expectations up with how closely they will follow the novel. The fact they\'ve already showed its in new york and the role the dog plays in the trailer has pretty much made me assume they are only using the book as a very loose guideline.
-
Then they shouldn\'t call it "I Am Legend" coz he\'s supposed to be the Vampire world\'s boogey man.

Agreed. At least the Heston movie changed the name. Seems like this should of aswell.

Gman you should be careful about what you post here, or use the spoilers tags. You\'re going to give something away for those who have not read the book.

New trailer is up, looks like it might be pretty good, even if its nothing like the book.
-

Sammy why would i? Talking about a movie trailer here, personally i thought the omega man was much better
-
Isnt it funny, seems they have run out of idea\'s. Now they are redoing all the classic\'s
-
They\'re remaking the old classic "Birds"

Lacking reading comprehension I see.
-
Escape from New York but they added vampires.
-
I read "I Am Legend" again last week for the heck of it.
I just read a review of the new Will Smith version in the Hollywood Reporter:
(Highlight the following text if you want to read a spoiler)
["...All of which leads to an upbeat ending few are going to swallow."]
AAAARRRRRGGGHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!11111111
I don\'t even want to see the damn thing now.
-
Going to see the premiere tomorrow at madison square garden. I hear its quite intense but yes, the ending leaves a lot to be desired.
-
if it\'s anything remotely like the book, there won\'t be an ending.
-
Its nothing remotely like the book.
-
Its nothing remotely like the book.
This is your fault, Phil! :mad:
-
I had a feeling this was going to be nothing like the book.
Eh, I\'m still gonna see it. Looking forward to it.
-
thats why i dont read books :D
i read da vinci code, and that movie was probably the worst thing i\'ve seen in a while because of reading it
plus i never want to read a book after reading all week for school
-
Its by no means a bad movie, and will smith does a surprisingly good job at portraying Robert Neville, its just the last quarter of the movie that really just fell flat. I actually laughed at the last line of the movie. Don\'t go if you\'re a book purist and want it to be an exact representation of the book, its not, and it doesn\'t try to be.
That said, pretty much everyone I talked to who hadn\'t read the book loved the movie. So I guess if you can wipe your memory of the book, its a lot more enjoyable.

Movie was great. Ending did suck.
Message to Hollywood: Just say no to CG zombies. Thanks.
