CHUD’s Devin Faraci is reporting there were re-shoots done on I Am Legend “as late as last week.” I can only shrug if this is true. I didn’t care about a devastated, post-apocylaptic urban future with mutants running around when it was a Charlton Heston movie, and I don’t care at all about a post-apocalyptic Manhattan with mutants running around with Will Smith manning the fort. Does anyone? And does anyone find the prospect of being asked to believe that Smith could be a brilliant scientist a little challenging? In film after film Smith plays nice guys who are smart, amiable and resourceful. “Brilliant” means conveying a lot of things that are beyond his range…sorry.
