That movie is wonderfully made.

some say there was an alternate ending where he survived.

Like this I don tire for this people.

Apparently, the movie shifts dramatically from the book narration and story wise because the test screen audience didn't really like the main and original ending....

In the book, everybody's turned, but here's where it gets interesting, the vampires evolve past their initial feral phase, become intelligent beings,they basically become human beings again, build civilizations, interact emotionally and logically.(The vampires becoming smart or evolving complex level intelligence was placed in the movies somewhat, the trap with the mannequin, using dogs, the scene where the alpha tries to get the butterfly girl despite sunlight, that scene often gets misinterpreted as him being very feral, but in actual truth, it's more of him willing to risk pain to get the one he loves, the girl from a threat, Neville).
Basically, they become the next phase of human evolution....
Neville as the last surviving human doesn't get this, instead, he keeps on killing and experimenting on them to find a cure....
So in the book, he became an urban legend...He became the Dracula hunting innocent people for fun to the Vampires...

In that way, when he was facing trial(they captured him), he saw their terrified faces looking at him, he realised he had become a Legend to these new creatures , they sort they would tell their children to get them scared or make them behave.....Hence, the I am Legend name....
The movie didn't play out this way ...The book's much better....When the movie was released, dystopian movies were popular, so it factors...

Yeah, there's a version of the movie where he survived and moved with that woman and her kid to the safehaven.

This crossover, directed by James Gunn and rated R, is something I really want to see.

It'll be a shitshow, but it'll be fun.

So - a comedy where the guardians square off against the suicide squad. Do we get a skybeam or a giant monster? Asking the real questions here.

It's more like The Avengers versus The Justice League.

Why not both? The crazier it gets, the better.

As far as I know, James Gunn doesn't do grim dark. I can't even picture justice league as a comedy today. Even though I recall older superman and batman movies with comedy elements.

I'm not saying it'll happen, but a guy can dream, right?

In this day and age, anything can happen. The snyder cut was literally interneted into reality.

All we need is mutual greed of Disney and Warner brothers

Now, that's what I'm talking about ✔️

Mann..They need to restrain Bruce Willis at this point ..This man is involved in a new movie every 7 business days atm ffs..Just look at his filmography from 2021 till now, and he still has like 6 more movies to drop this year

DC will win. Shit show or not.

is this man owing people or something, he appears in every and anything. Maybe he's in debt

According to rumors, he has early onset dementia and is working as hard as he can to ensure that his family will never have to work again after he kicks the bucket.

ShaqFu:

Not with James Gunn in charge, chief. Gunn creates characters who strive to do good while grappling with their morality. Whereas some directors glorify flawed, bad people, Gunn usually tries to hold them accountable while allowing them to learn and grow; he lets them navigate their way home but doesn't change the locks.

Suffice to say, if James Gunn directs, the outcome is always going to be complicated, which is why I assessed it would be a shitshow.

sad if true

honestly. The guy has lost it. And all these movies are always one dimensional. He either trying to save his kidnapped family. Or he is hunting somebody.

A legit reason if true, but i wonder how much these C rated movies are going to pay him probably that's why he stats pad them to make something meaningful.

Lucifer, I like the movie
