Neville lives and he gets the antidote and they leave to the camp or whatever in the morning.
Oh wow, I really want to see this!
I thought this was confirmed a long time ago?
Cool, I loved the first one

I hope it shows him buying the bacon he was saving
I loved the first one. I hope the prequel will be as good.
It was more of a short story really, not a book.
A novella even.
I liked the first movie, so I'll definatly check this one out. Thanks!

It's revealed that vampires/mutants are completely unlike they were first thought.
They were intelligent beings that was scared of the main character, seeing him as a monster predator that was hunting them for no reason. He was the monster, the mutant, and predator to the now dominant race. Hence the title "I am Legend".
original ending of film was that, the alpha male was trying to rescue his lover the whole time. His lover was the girl Will Smith was experimenting on by the way.
The book is infinitely better than the film.

Yeah and at the end of the book they capture him, take him to their camp, and they're going to kill him in public, but the girl he found previously gives him a suicide pill and he takes it, so he can die before he's made example of. I think that's what happens.

...But I thought it was a girl.
Hasn't "Awakening" been used as a subtitle to like dozens of movie sequels?

The dog 'acting' in the movie was actually a male, but it played the role of a female dog named Sam.
[QUOTE=yuki;19936219]Stop comparing the book to the movie. Just stop it. How the hell do you idiots expect the movie to be some on-the-screen representation of the book, when there's so many other factors determining how they create it; The primary one being money, and screentime. It takes A LOT of work the create a 2-hour movie, trying to sync it up to a book is near impossible. They changed the ending because they thought it would appeal to the masses, you know, the ~80% of people that saw the movie without even knowing it was a book? The PRIMARY market. Appreciate the movie for being a movie, appreciate the book for being a good book. Stop bitching.[/QUOTE]
That would be a fair enough argument, if the entire point of the book wasnt lost when it was translated to movie. In the book ending, the vampires are shown to be fully sentient, intelligent and compassionate, not just animalistic creatures. They were like a new stage in the human race or whatever, evolution. This is implied in the film, where they set traps for Will Smith and where the main vampire dude exposes himself to sunlight when Will kidnaps one of them, but then suddenly at the end of the movie, all of that is forgotten and shit gets blowed up. Retarded.
While I haven't read the book itself, I loved the movie...maybe I should actually read it. :buddy:
What?! Black guys in zombie movies just doesn't match!

From Wikipedia:
[quote]The tone of the film's ending was altered before the film's release, especially the stand-off between Neville and the infected in his laboratory. Visual effects supervisor Janek Sirrs recounts the original ending starting with the stand-off: "At that point, Neville's - and the audience's - assumptions about the nature of these creatures are shown to be incorrect. We see that they have actually retained some of their humanity. There is a very important moment between the alpha male and Neville. The alpha male slapped his hand on the glass and smeared it revealing a butterfly shaped imprint." Neville realizes that the alpha male is identifying the infected woman he was experimenting on by a butterfly tattoo, and that the alpha male wants her back. Demonstrating that he will cease fighting and return her, Neville is allowed to approach them, with the alpha male ordering the infected not to touch him. Neville brings the alpha female back to consciousness, still infected due to him having removed the cure, and the alpha male embraces her; Travis Schaub stated, "Then, when Neville finally turns the alpha female over to the alpha male, there is this little love moment between the two of them." Neville and the alpha male then exchange stares; Neville apologizes to them, which the alpha male acknowledges before the infected leave. He then looks at the photos of the infected he has experimented on and killed, and he realizes that he is the monster of their legends: the infected think of him as someone who hunts down and kills their people. The original final shot follows Neville, Anna, and Ethan as they cross the remnants of the George Washington Bridge in the hope of finding other survivors, accompanied by a recording from Anna telling possible survivors that there is hope, and Neville knows the compounds of the cure, meaning he can recreate it and help humanity survive and rebuild, thus establishing his legend.[5][/quote]
Don't be mad about Will playing it, but the director for changing the ending.
also those bitching about it being inaccurate of the book, isn't this actually a remake of one of the movies that was already based on the book? and to an extent rather loosely based on the novel?
i do know in the novel that the zombies weren't actually zombies, and that there were rather intelligent groups of vampire/mutants here and there, and that the ending was totally different, some other things were different, yes, but that doesn't make the movie instantly terrible.
[editline]10:41AM[/editline]
though that said the ending really left me disappointed. and i hadn't even read the book.
i mean, how irresolute, too sugar coated, and inconclusive. "THEN EVERYBODY ELSE ALL LIVED HAPPILY EVER AFTER SEE AFTER ALL HE WASN'T THE LAST MAN ON URF!!!"
[QUOTE=lolwutdude;19931934]they should've kept the original ending[/QUOTE]
its a prequel
