I just heard this movie referenced on Maron. I'm so glad to read that there is a good adaptation of I am Legend. I'm not sure if I read the book first or saw the will smith movie first. But the movies left a bad taste in my mouth. Cartoonish zombie vampires. I'm go a watch omega man.

I haven't seen the other two adaptations but I like the novella and I don't like this movie. Definitely the worst Charlton Heston movie I have seen.
