About the Film

A second fan film, by the same crew that is working on The Last Garrison in association with HannaFilms is tooling up to make an independent version of 'I am Legend' the classic sci-fi/horror story by Richard Matheson. Based on the book, once again, the production will attempt to 'fix' some of the 'so-called' problems with the book, namely the less than acceptable rushed feeling of the last chapter. I always felt that the book was fantastic, but the last chapter seemed rushed, and incomplete, like someone told Matheson, 'hurry up and finish the story'.

Among other things, this is to be a test plastform for new lighting, and camera equipment, and an opportunity for our crew to make a 'zomibe-vampire' flick with a great story. Directed by Clint Hanna, an attempt to make this film in very short order is only part of the challenge. Hanna is also writing the screenplay and is co-producing as well. Principal photography is scheduled for mid-December through the early Spring, with a web release date of late April.

If you have not read the book, 'I am Legend' get a copy from Amazon.com. After reading the book, watch the 'The Last Man on Earth' starring Vincent Price. [BTW that film is now public domain, and can be downloaded for free from here. But look for the restored version in widescreen. Usually available for one dollar at the local dollar store!

Several versions of this story have been made into films, but none have truly captured the feeling of the book. A new big budget Will Smith version is in the works and is due for release in May, 11 2007.

Follow along with the production of this adaptation film, the working title is 'New Legend'.

An independent adaptation of the classic Richard Matheson vampire novel.
