TerraN, my dear friend. You know I agree with 99% of all your posts. However, I love our heated Star Wars/Star Trek discussions. :D

I would probable buy the Pizza cutter, possibly entertain the thought of the Star Wars knife set. However, you have to be certifiably nutter to buy a Star Trek Torpedo coffin!!!!!!! I know you are a diehard fan, but you are definitely not that far over the edge.

Cheers! Good job on the one-upmanship!


I will now get back to bottling my Malbec

I rather be buried in the one that Mr. Spock was put in from the "Wrath of Kahn".

A remake of "I Am Legend"?

After trying in vain to interest Will Smith in a sequel, Warner has ultimately decided to reboot the post-apocalyptic movie, launching what is likely to become a multi-film franchise.

Released in 2007, "I Am Legend" earned $584.1 million at the worldwide box office, so it's no surprise that the studio is keen to expand upon the idea, particularly as recent productions like "World War Z" and "The Walking Dead" prove zombies are as popular as ever.

According to Deadline, Warner Bros is developing a script titled "A Garden at the End of the World" as a reboot of the "I Am Legend" story, with similar themes and settings. Will Smith is not expected to take part in the resulting movie.

"I Am Legend" is an adaptation of the eponymous Richard Matheson novel published in 1954, which focuses on the sole survivor of a strange pandemic that turns people into vampire-like creatures. The book came to the big screen in 1964 with the feature "The Last Man on Earth" starring Vincent Price, and again in 1971 with "The Omega Man" with Charlton Heston.

The novel also inspired a number of directors over the years, including zombie genre legend George Romero.

In all fairness i didn't see much of a future for that franchise after the Will Smith film since that version completely ruined the original's ending, and the original never made it past that point in the novel.

It would've just been another standard bestial running zombie monster movie. If they kept the original, where the vampires actually were thinking, feeling people who acted in self-defense against Smith's character than it would've been salvageable in the book's moral ambiguity, although still risks being flanderized as a gorier version of Avatar but with the hero and villain roles reversed.

Until hollywood gets over its crippling fear of moral ambiguity i'm not seeing a future for this franchise.

The Fresh Prince isn't so fresh his Last movies flopped. Hollywood seems to be slumping on originality these day. The industry needs fresh ideas not rehash.

Hollywood can be cruel to one's career. If you made one flopped movie (regardless of previous success), you are pretty much done.

I like Will Smith in that "I Am Legend" movie though, especially my favorite part of the scene is when he marshmellowed a few zombies by detonating his IED in his holed up New York townhouse.:p:eek:

Well if you notice when big actors do movies with fantasy elements they don't do a good job with those elements. The monsters in I Am Legend weren't spectacular. In I Robot the robots weren't menacing which I heard a lot criticism. In World War Z, the zombies weren't anything that stood out. I'm going to charge that when you have big name actors, the more they want everything focused on them. Meaning they don't want the monsters getting all the attention. And if you noticed, the movies I mentioned here the actors produced the movies too.
