WHAT THE STUDIO WANTS YOU TO KNOW

    The last man on earth is not alone. Will Smith plays that lone survivor in I Am Legend, the action epic fusing heart-pounding excitement with a mind-blowing vision of a desolated Manhattan. Somehow immune to an unstoppable incurable virus, military virologist Robert Neville (Smith) is now the last human survivor in New York City and maybe the world. Mutant plague victims lurk in the shadows... watching Neville's every move... waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find an antidote using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered... and quickly running out of time.

TRIVIA TO IMPRESS YOUR EASILY IMPRESSED FRIENDS

• This movie is based on the book of the same name by Richard Matheson.
• Richard Matheson, the author of the book on which this film is based, initially helped adapt his story to the big screen in the 1964 Vincent Price film The Last Man Standing. This story was then adapted again into film in 1971 as the Charlton Heston movie The Omega Man. In the 90's Ridley Scott was set to adapt the film yet again with Arnold Schwarzenegger in the lead but the project fell through due to massive budget problems. Finally in 2002 Will Smith reunited with Michael Bay in attempt to film the movie which ended up being scrapped in favor of Bad Boys II. Will Smith kept championing the movie and repeatedly asked Guillermo Del Toro to direct the project, but he had to turn down the opportunity as he was already committed to shooting Hell Boy II: The Golden Army.
• This movie's budget was extremely large. For a single 6 night stretch of shooting on the Brooklyn Bridge it cost Warner Brothers more than 5 million dollars. This amount paid to close the bridge, hire 1000 extras, 250 crew members, and and 160 actual National Guard members wearing full combat gear. The producers also had to gain permission from 14 different government agencies to approve the closing of the bridge itself. Throughout shooting several other streets were closed down for several evenings and weekends, as well as massive areas of Central Park being cordoned off from the public. During the holidays the cities decorations had to be constantly taken down and put back up around shooting schedules, while the special effects explosions wreaked havoc on local businesses. Will Smith issued a public apology to the residents of New York when the movie premiered in the Big Apple in 2007.
