Actually, Richard Matheson's 1954 novel, I am Legend, was damned scary, and the 1964 filn, The Last Man on Earth, gave me nightmares when I caught it on TV as a kid. Of course, the 1971 Charlton Heston The Omega Man turned it all into a weird, very 70s near-self-parody, and there's where the story ended.
Until now. In December, I am Legend hits the screen -- with a very unfunny-appearing, non-wisecracking Will Smith. Looks ... good.

Will Smith?
*sigh*
Well, that is one not on my list then.
Will Smith -- when he's not being "The Fresh Prince" -- can do a decent job of (other) acting.
Yeah, but Will Smith and SF... You did see I, Robot, right? ;)
And Independence Day, too.
I don't criticize WS for either of those. He took the part he was given and did it well.
Judging solely by the trailer, I think this looks pretty good. In a godawfully depressing way.
