I AM LEGEND

December 3rd 2008 16:41


I AM LEGEND

ITS NOT JUST A DVD OR MOVIE!

I am Legend was a book before it was a movie. The book was re-issued earlier this year in an edition along with several of his short stories. Whether you're a Sci Fi or SF Fan or a Film fan you should read Richard Matheson's books. (Dont confuse him with his children who also are writers) This writer of novels short stories and screenplays is a genre founder whose works have been ripped off by many people ... and I do mean ripped off.

You'll see his ideas repeated in dozens of movies and books with no mention or credit given to him however briefly!


I AM LEGEND has been filmed three times as an Italian production The Last Man on Earth and then as Omega Man and of course now the new version! Every one of these versions have altered the book and not just because the action was set in the 1970s.

The Ultimate Collector's DVD is due out on DEC 9.

It has alternate endings. Want to find out why? Dont just see the movie or DVD!

Read the original book as well? Perhaps your library or bookstore has a copy of hte re-issued paperback version? Try it!

I Am Legend was always one of my favorite books. One of the best of all time. And I also have a special place in my heart for Omega Man.
