Though I Am Legend has already risen and fallen a few times, this time the production is set, up and running.
Don't believe? Then how can you explain these recent pictures of Will Smith?
Will Smith on Set of I Am Legend
The good paparazzi over at Splash News were able to snap a few pictures of Will Smith on the set of I Am Legend.
I Am Legend is one of the most influential vampire novels of the 20th century, and regularly appears on the "10 Best" lists of numerous critical studies of the horror genre. I Am Legend is about a terrible plague that has decimated the world, and those who were unfortunate enough to survive have been transformed into blood-thirsty creatures of the night. Except, that is, for Robert Neville. He alone appears to be immune to this disease, but the grim irony is that now he is the outsider. He is the legendary monster who must be destroyed because he is different from everyone else. Employing a stark, almost documentary style, Richard Matheson was one of the first writers to convince us that the undead can lurk in a local supermarket freezer as well as a remote Gothic castle.
