an i am legend prequel?

[Mike70]

the thing that bothers me about the will smith film is that one of the main themes of the book is totally absent. the new species (for want of a better term) of human that has arisen out of the ashes is nowhere to be seen. that is what makes neville a "legend" because he has become their boogyman, the thing they will frighten their children with for years on end. also, how neville as the last gasp of our speices has become irrelevant, in fact become dangerous, in the new scheme of things. that is what gives the book its power and it is completely lost in the latest film version.

You know what they need to do instead? Read the book, then make THAT into a movie. 10 points to Minon! BTW: Am I the only one sick of Will Smith?

Am I the only one sick of Will Smith? I agree,I'am sick of Will Smith too.He's not that good of an actor.

Precisely. I kind of recall some lame piece of dialogue, probably from the dark haired girl with the kid, which attempted - rather impotently - to tie in the title of the movie.

I'm not sick of Will Smith, I do find the foot-kissing that followers of his do. Just shut up and let his acting sit centre stage. Will Smith is capable of really good acting, and has shown it in many films, as well as being a provider of entertainment.

If he were to take on better roles like Six Degrees of Seperation, Pursuit of Happyness, etc, he could become one of the greatest actors of this generation. Instead he does throw away flicks like Hancock, I Robot, I Am Legend, etc. That's not to say those arent entertaining....he's just capable of better things.
