I Am Legend

The 1954 novel I Am Legend by Scott Matheson has spawned three feature films ...

The Last Man on Earth (1964)
The Omega Man (1971)
I Am Legend (2007)

Preview the book, I Am Legend, at Google Books.


Last summer, I watched all three movies and, in my opinion, found the most recent iteration, Will Smith's 2007 film, I Am Legend, to be the best effort. Naturally, the effects were better, but I felt the story was more believable. I could better identify with the central character, Robert Neville. I hope to read the book this winter.
