One of the films I absolutely can't wait for is "I Am Legend," the latest in a long chain of adaptations of Richard Matheson's classic novel (the one that spawned Charlton Heston's "The Omega Man"). The movie follows Will Smith in a post-apocalyptic landscape; the last man alive in a sea of vampires.
