Sean and I agree
The trailer for I AM LEGEND looks pretty good (Sean's words "Best of the three [he showcased this morning.]") Normally the presence of Will Smith makes me a bit leery, just because of the type of big movie he's usually cast in, being much more of a movie star than an actor (though I know he can act.) Now, this isn't going to be Matheson's novel, so I'm going to put that aside. Only the basic conceit has been retained (OMEGA MAN may be a truer adaptation, though it's much more muddled in end of the decade politics among other things.)
The question in my mind is, will this be an action movie or will it be a horror movie? Goodness knows my use of the term "horror" is looser than most (just ask Rick Geerling--he'll set you straight.) I sense the possibility for lots of creepy moments, but who knows how it'll turn out. It certainly promises to be spectacular, at least with the initial moments. But we'll have to wait and see if that will settle into real chills.
However, the fact remains that I'm actually interested in going out and seeing it. Which is...unusual...
