The long-stalled film version of Richard Matheson’s I am Legend (or third version, if you want to count Last Man on Earth and Charlton Heston’s The Omega Man) moves forward with Will Smith in the lead and Constantine‘s Francis Lawrence at the helm. Hmmm. Will Smith can be a good actor at times, but the fact that hackmeister Akiva Goldsman penned the script suggests to me that this’ll be a forgettable adaptation.

I, Robot. You, lame. The new trailer for this project has backed off the Will Smith witticisms in favor of CGI-ish action sequences of the When Robots Attack! variety, but it still looks very far afield from what Asimov intended. Oh well…how’s Foundation coming?
Shattered Rules.
Witness, if you dare, the egregious new trailer for I, Robot, soon to be a Will Smith video near you. As Do You Feel Loved also noted the other day, somewhere Isaac Asimov (to say nothing of Chris Cunningham) is almighty pissed.
Witch On, Switch Off.
A slew of new 2004 film pics online, including Monica Bellucci in The Brothers Grimm (ok, but we’ve seen this before), Will Smith in I, Robot (uh oh…they turned it into an actioner), Samuel Jackson in Country of My Skull, and Robin Williams in The Final Cut.
