Since you finally admitted you should have made I Am Legend closer to the book(with vampires), when will you actually get to work making that movie? You did excellent with the version you made, so you will do good making this new version as long as you do not change them from what they were in the novel which means not having them in any way related to the mythological vampire. The novel portrayed the victims as infected.
shareJust watch The Last Man on Earth from 1964. Another version isn't really necessary.
shareBut that version never made the Neville character as he was in the book in the sense of showing him studying about the vampires, trying to find out what they were exactly and how they got that way. The character was interesting and it would be nice to see him adequately portrayed. Also, the 1964 movie only inspired fear of those infected as the book did and the Will Smith movie was so interesting because it not only made the dark seekers scary but also made them sympathetic characters. It would be good for a movie to portray them as they were in the book but add some sympathy for them.
