Trailer Tidbits on "I Am Legend" and the "AVP" Sequel
by Scott Weinberg | May 31, 2007
Discuss Article
Just a little random news on when you'll be able to see the trailers for Will Smith's "I Am Legend" and the oh-so-highly anticipated "Alien vs. Predator 2."

According to Collider.com, the trailer for "I Am Legend" will play before screenings of "Ocean's 13," so there's a 14th reason to go see the flick.

Regarding the trailer for the "Alien vs. Predator" sequel, we're expecting some sort of clip to be unleashed at next month's geek-tastic San Diego comic con. Which means it should hit the 'net within a week. I know how excited you all are for the teaser trailer for "Alien vs. Predator 2: Survival of the Fittest."

Matter of fact, expect a whole LOT of juicy new goodies once that con rolls around.

I am very torn on this movie. Will Smith/vampire movie. I honestly dont know if this is a good or a bad thing. sigh
As long as I see some fresh prince references in the movie I'd be fine. XD
I would laugh so hard if they had a Carlton and Phil vampire.

White people should not try to rhyme or rap, seriously.

I'm excited for IAL, though I'm also cautious. Hope it doesn't suck.

[b]Based on a book & Omega Man film[/b]
Which means that there is a solid underpinning to the story. And arguably, according to the Omega Man film, these are not technically vampires. Its more of an apocolypse end of the world story, which puts Will Smith on familiar ground.

Plus, the guy has been twice Oscar nominated and is one of the biggest box-office draws of all-time and we're still claiming he's a rapper who trying to act? I think he moved beyond the Fresh Prince shadow a long time ago.

The film is in capable hands.

I've been waiting for I Am Legend for so long and I'm pretty interested in seeing Ocean's 13, so I'm in for a treat.

As for AVP, my interest in seeing the film will be determined by the trailer. If it sucks, I'll skip it. If it's cool, I might see it.

again, i think people are confusing Tonight, He Comes and I Am Legend. Tonight is the apocalyptic vampire movie, and Legend is the superhero cheats on his PR man's wife movie.

Isnt this the case?

its actually the other way around. Tonight, He Comes is about the superhero who cheats on his wife, and I Am Legend is the apocalyptic 'vampire' story.

I read I Am Legend a couple months ago when I started hearing things about this movie. It was a Richard Matheson novel published back in 1954. I was curious as to how a book that old about a vampire apocalypse would hold up today. I have to say that I was pleasantly surprised. The storyline was very interesting and kept me hooked on turning pages late into the night. The internet says this movie will take more from Omega Man than the original novel but I hope they don't stray too far from the book. It was good enough on its own.

"Alien vs. Predator 2: Survival of the Fittest"

Is that the actual title of the film? That sounds horrible.

Really? White people shouldn't rap? So Sage Francis, The Streets, Aesop Rock, Eminem, The Beastie Boys, House of Pain, and 3rd Bass should never have bothered and/or should just give up now?

On a different note, when does the movie come out? December 14th or 21st?

[b]It's not really Omega Man...[/b]
This book was made into a movie back in 1964... The Last Man on Earth with Vincent Price. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058700/
It is not really anything like the Omega Man movie. I've seen the movie and read the book and they are identical.
Check it out sometime!
