JWR,
[Regarding the recent mention in SurvivalBlog about the resurgence of movies and television shows with survivalist themes,] I am a more than a bit of a movie buff, and I recently discovered that one of my favorite movies has been re-made. The sci-fi classic novel “I Am Legend” by Richard Matheson finally gets the big budget and big star treatment it deserves in this third adaptation. Due for release in US theaters on December 14, 2007, the movie “I Am Legend” stars Will Smith. This post-apocalyptic thriller may be best remembered by SurvivalBlog readers from it’s earlier incarnations. Namely, 1971’s “The Omega Man” starring Charlton Heston, and 1964’s “The Last Man On Earth” starring Vincent Price. Although pure science fiction, I thought that the post-apocalyptic “survival” theme throughout the story may be of interest to the blog’s readership. The trailer for the film looks impressive. Best Regards, – Cowboy255
