This I want to see...
Goldsman rewrote the screenplay to be closer to second I Am Legend film adaptation, The Omega Man, of which he was a major fan.[4] The rewrite was also done to distance the film from the numerous zombie films inspired by the novel.[5] In April 2006, Will Smith signed back onto the project, with production to begin in 2007 in New York.[22] A forty-page scene-by-scene outline of the film was developed within the next month. When delays occurred on Smith's film Hancock, it was proposed to switch the actor's films. This meant filming would have to begin in sixteen weeks: production was greenlit, using Goldsman's script and the outline.[20] Elements from Protosevich's script were introduced, while the crew consulted with experts on infectious diseases and solitary confinement.[4] Rewrites continued throughout filming, because of Smith's improvisational skills and Lawrence's preference to keep various scenes silent.[20]
I always liked "The Omega Man", and I'm tired of zombie films, so this should be good. If it's as good as "I, Robot", it will be memorable.
