I Am Legend is based on one of the classic vampire novels of the same name, Richard Matheson's superb apocalyptic thriller from 1954 about the last living man on the Earth, after everyone else on the planet has succumbed to vampirism. Having been badly remade twice before, once as The Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price in the lead; and then as The Omega Man in 1971 with Charlton 'cold dead hands' Heston.
I'm hoping it will be good. Then again, Will Smith has been described as the man who can ruin a good genre picture single-handedly...
