I Am Legend
Kwummy October 25th, 2007
Screen Rant has a post up that contains two different versions of a trailer for Will Smith’s upcoming movie “I Am Legend.”
The international trailor contains a lot more action from start to finish, but I disagree with Vic from Screen Rant that it’s the better version. Having read the book, I like the U.S. version the most because it shows how Robert Neville (played by Smith) goes through his day. While the book wasn’t boring, a lot of time was spent showing how Neville interacted with a completely lifeless environment. I also feel that the last 20 seconds or so of the U.S. clip leaves the person wanting more while the international didn’t leave me with the same feeling.
That said, both clips are awesome and I recommend checking them both out.
However, if you’re even slightly interested in the movie, I highly suggest you check out the book before the movie releases on December 14. Written by Richard Matheson, it details the live of Neville, who could very well be the last human on the face of the planet. While it contains it’s fare share of action, the book does an amazing job of making the reader feel what it would really be like the be the last person alive.
I won’t spoil anything about the book or the movie other than what I’ve already said. It is probably one of my favorite books of all time and I’m not even a big fan of horror films or books. And if you pick up the book I’ve linked to it also features some other short stories by Matheson that are worth checking out.
While the book may not appeal to everyone, I think the movie can have a wide-spread appeal. So, if nothing else, make sure you at least see the movie when it comes out.
So, the Transformers movie…

Warning: this post will contain a signifciant amount of spoilers on both the original Transformers movie as well as the most recent movie. I’m not kidding people. If you haven’t seen either one and don’t want it spoiled do not read anything after the break. Seriously. Don’t.

Despite recent events in the city, Dark Knight shooting was taking place this morning. A few of us from work went down to check it out and snapped some pictures. I think Erech might enjoy these most.
Check them out after the jump.
