'I Am Legend' Trailer Reportedly Attached to 'Ocean's 13' Posted May 30th 2007 10:02AM by Matt Bradshaw Filed under: Action Adventure, Horror, Sci-Fi Fantasy, Remakes and Sequels Not being a fan of the franchise, it looks like I'm going to have to wait for the Internet premiere of the trailer, but according to a report on Collider.com, the world at large will get its first look at the Will Smith horror/action flick when , the third installment in the series, makes its U.S.
premiere on June 8. , of course, features Smith as the apparent lone survivor of a plague that has decimated the world and turned many of its victims into vampires. Personally, I'm looking forward to a look at this one.
Richard Matheson's novel of the same name is considered by many (myself included) to be one of the greatest horror novels of all time, and its one of those classics I re-read every few years. This apocalyptic vision of the future served as the unofficial inspiration for George Romero's Night of the Living Dead , and has been officially adapted twice, once in 1964 as which starred Vincent Price, and once as with Charlton Heston playing the lead. Both films are worth seeking out on DVD, and the former is my favorite of the two, but shop carefully as there are several faded and scratched public domain versions of The Last Man on Earth out there.
I'm just hoping this new film version will retain the solemn atmosphere of the novel and we don't see Smith's standard action hero persona. will hit U.S.
theaters on December 14.
