Aw Hell No

It is with great regret that, via Cinescape, I found out that my favorite vampire book of all time, I Am Legend is going to be made into a movie. Starring Will Smith.

Warner Bros. has signed Will Smith to a pay-or-play deal to star in I AM LEGEND. Adapted from Richard Matheson's novel, the story set in post-apocalyptic New York, centers on the last healthy man following the release of a virus that decimates the population. To survive, he must battle mutants that wreak havoc during the night.

What's wrong with vampires? Why'd they have to 'rastify it' by 10%? The book is genuinely scary, and this, well, sounds like Cinescape reader 'sharpe9th' described in the comments section:

Plot of movie:

Smith opens door.

Mutants appear standing in droves outside a la Dawn of the Dead.

Smith says: "Aw hell no."

Smith caves some heads in uttering " Aw no you didn't..."

Smith wins looking into horizon with dawn approaching.

The end.

I'd laugh so hard if I wasn't busy crying. I Am Legend is unlike any other vampire book or movie that I've seen, in that it has one of the coolest, thought-provoking endings ever. I have a hard time believing that Hollywood will have the balls to go that route, but I've been wrong before.
