Will Smith has taken a project that has been left to lay dormant for nearly 10-years and wants to breath new life into it.
“Legend” is the story of the last healthy man living in a post-apocalyptic New York City after a virus has ravaged most of Earth’s population. During the day he forages the city for what he needs to survive and at night he fights off surviving humans who have been mutated by the virus into hideous creatures of their former selves.
Sound familiar? It should. The idea is from a Richard Matheson novel that was the basis for Vincent Price’s “The Last Man on Earth” and Charlton Heston’s “Omega Man.” Could be that is why it has remained on the back shelf for the last 10-years.
Wasn’t that also done in the movie “28 Days After?”
Nope it was called Omega Man
was just about to say first think that came to mind as i read virus and mutated humans was 28 days later
This’ll be great! After all, Will Smith and the gang did such a great job of sticking to the material on iRobot. 🙂
Oh, and yes, I thought of 28 Days Later as soon as I read the news story too.
