Oct 24 2007'I Am Legend' Trailer: A Day in the Life of Will Smith, Vampire Hunter
Will Smith has a long history of successfully defending earth and himself from aliens, robots, criminals, and Carlton, surely earning himself a statue and memorial highway in the near future. But what threat will this quippy one-man army face-off against next?
Vampires, of course.
In I Am Legend, Smith finds himself to be the only living human in a New York City overrun by vampires. This new trailer takes you through his typical day, which I've graciously summarized for you, in case you want to make your day a vampire-hunting Will Smith day.
Morning:
- Show off shirtless musculature, in case hot vampire girl stops by.
- Make amusing, sassy wisecracks to dog, in case vampire producers of a Fresh Prince: The Later Years sitcom stop by.
- Golf, yelling "fore" after striking ball, even though there are no other living people. Alternately, wear tall hat at theater and say, "Hope I'm not blocking anyone's view."
- Talk to mannequins you've dressed up, in case vampire disease has made you a cast member in Mannequin or Today's Special.
Noon:
- Pretend there is wildlife outside of rats and pigeons in Manhattan, and that if there were, that the rats and pigeons wouldn't immediately kill and devour them before you could.
- Pretend there are crops to gather in Manhattan, outside of crops of rat and pigeon feces.
- Time how fast you can wash a dog.
Night:
- Curl up in vampire-proof tub with a dog.
- Take fault off of God.
- Whimper, yell, fight vampires.
- Acknowledge legendary status.

I'd rather see Charlton Heston reprise his role than watch Will Smith shame his race further.

You forgot "Observe social commentary about how expensive gasoline becomes in the U.S."
All this stuff, when does he have time to touch himself? So what if baby Jesus will kill a kitten, or he'll go blind, or grow hair on his palms. Whatever.

Discover only surviving woman on earth. Attempt intercourse. Hear her quip, "Not if you were the last man on earth." Return quip with patented, "Aw, HELL no!"

Yet again, Hollywood completely fucks up an amazing book.

OMEGA MAN OMEGA MAN OMEGA MAN
...Willsucks had it right...why didn't Chucky Hest reprise his role? Oh right, he's dead.

Charlston Heston is not dead, you idiot!
And this movie is based off a book....Omega Man is not the original! Later the book became a comic book.

Let's go back a little farther in movietime... Vincent Price is "The Last Man on Earth". Classic 60's B+ movie http://imdb.com/title/tt0058700/
Nuff said!

I think what's most interesting about the initial poster's obviously racist comments is that the absolute FIRST thing he keys in on is the actor's race.
I am a huge fan of Omega Man and made the connection immediately when I saw the trailer for I Am Legend, but believe Will Smith to be a gifted actor who will most likely put an interesting spin on a great story.
Furthermore, I wonder why the writer of this specific site chose to lampoon this movie based on nothing more than a trailer. The trailer is excellently done and piques your interest to immediately want to see more!
Too bad most of you look at the race of the actor and then his talent and more times than not, if the actor is of color, you see fit to malign and lampoon the movie rather than be entertained by a great story.
Sad.

Honestly I don't get why people have any kind of issue with Will Smith's acting career. Sure he takes roles in action movies that are bigger than life, but its still a hell of a lot more interesting than watching Jet Li's stupid ass soar around on wires like Peter Pan for two hours. Will Smith is a great actor who transcends race by not taking roles that are racially specific. And if you want to bitch about actors who always have to save the world, why not bring up Neo Ted Constantine? He's just a pasty Will Smith without talent.
