According to HumorMill magazine, some media outlets have deemed the remaking of this movie as being racist...which I think is rather hard to do since only the trailer, and not the full movie, has been released. Personally, after watching the trailer, I can't wait for it to hit theaters on April 16, 2010. I'm definitely going to see it. Look at the line-up! But to each its own though. Draw your own conclusions after watching the trailer.

Will Smith's movie I Am Legend had me on edge of my seat and shedding tears by the time the closing credits started rolling....yes, I was that moved by it because I didn't expect him to die in the movie.

According to Variety, Warner Bros. the flick starts off as news about a plague-ridden virus begins to spread. Giving audience members a grasp on I Am Legend’s background, the follow-up movie is expected to answer all of the unclear questions brought up in the 2007 box office hit - which reportedly made over $536 million worldwide.

The two eventually forged a surprising and unbreakable friendship. It's been said that Jamie lost 30 lbs for the role. The movie trailer is below.
