I Am Legend *SPOILERS*

[dansdarkside]

I was watching TV the other day and seen the commercial for it, but I had no clue what it was going to be about. And I kept seeing them and I finally just seen another one while I was at the computer and decided to look it up.

And from the description from the book. It looks pretty good. I may go see it like a week or so after it comes out.

This is the Plot, Do not read if you dont want to, but Do not say I did not warn you

The book takes place in the then-future of the years 1976-1979, and opens with the monotony and horror of the daily life of the protagonist, Robert Neville. Neville is apparently the only survivor of an apocalypse caused by a pandemic of a bacterium the symptoms of which are very similar to vampirism. Every day he also makes repairs to his house, boarding up windows, stringing and hanging garlic, and disposing of vampires' corpses on his lawn.
Neville's psychological disposition is a significant element in the novel, and his struggles with despair imbue the character with intensity and gravitas. The author emphasizes that he is an ordinary, flawed man trying to deal with an extraordinary catastrophe.
Much of the story is devoted to Neville's struggles to understand the plague that has transformed everyone he meets except for himself, and the novel details the progress of his discoveries. In this regard, the novel is almost unique in vampire fiction in that instead of asking the reader to accept a supernatural explanation for vampire phenomena, the author strives to offer scientific basis for such symptoms as aversion to garlic, craving of fresh blood, and resistance to bullets but vulnerability to stakes and sunlight. The aversion to mirrors and crosses (or, in the case of one vampire of Jewish origin, the Torah) is classified as psychological.
Eventually, Neville discovers that while he is the only person immune to the bacterium, he is not the only one still alive. Others who have been infected have discovered a means to hold the disease at bay. However, during the night hours, they appear to be fully evolved vampires. Thus, along with the vampires, he has been killing these still living persons. He becomes a source of terror to the still living, since he can go around in daylight (which they can only do for a short length of time) and leaves their dead behind. These still living “vampires” capture Neville and reveal their nature to him, and how monstrous he appears to them. Just as vampires were regarded as legendary monsters that preyed on the vulnerable humans in their beds, Neville has become the last of a dead breed; a mythical figure that kills both vampires and the infected living while they are sleeping. He becomes a legend as the vampires once were, hence the title.

I Am Legend is a re-make of The Last Man on Earth ( 1964 Vincent Price ) & The Omega Man ( 1971, Charlton Hesten ).
Hollywood has been trying to make this movie for quite some time now and at one point had Ahhhhnold Swartzenegger for the lead role which, I'm glad they abandoned.
I'll definetly be going to see this when it comes out.

You really should watch The Omega Man not only for the rockin porn soundtrack but to also witness the Vampires with bell bottoms and large afros.

I forgot that White Zombie ( Rob Zombie ) made a song called I Am Legend that's about The Omega Man movie on La Sexorcisto : Devil Music Vol. 1
Pretty cool lyrics

Rob Zombie and the female bass player Sean Yseult who he was dating, broke up and he got fed up with everything having to do with the band and launched his Solo career.



I guess they're reshooting a whole new ending right now for I Am Legend, because it was said that the original ending was dumb.
