I Am Legend

I'm ashamed to say that I Am Legend is a book I have not read, but it's is a highly acclaimed PA about the last man in California, who is constantly under threat from zombie like vampires. Written in 1954 there have been two movie versions, firstly Vincent Price in 1964's The Last Man on Earth and secondly 1971's Charlton Heston vehicle The Omega Man. Now Warner Brothers are busy on another remake, this time using the original title and starring Will Smith. It's filming right now and a quick search of YouTube crops up lots of shaky camera footage from bystanders watching the filming.

It looks like the apocalyptic fad of the late 90's and early 00's (The Day After Tomorrow, The Core, Deep Impact etc) is switching to a post-apocalyptic nature with I Am Legend, Day of the Dead, Escape From New York and maybe even Mad Max 4 on the way. Excellent!

So to celebrate, firstly I have another short British film, only 3 minute in duration, Explaining the I Am Legend story. A well made independant production.



And secondly the ENTIRE film The Last Man on Earth. If you have time it is well worth a watch. Enjoy!
