I've been a big fan of the book 'I am Legend' by Robert Matheson. I'm hoping the studios give the director of the film the same freedoms Ridley Scott now enjoys. Yet as much as I like Will Smith somehow I think this casting decision is ominous.

Ominous of selling out to the mainstream? Will Smith can do everything, he's the most popular man in Hollywood as far as mainstream appeal.

to me it's not so much the casting but the misuse of CG... the monsters just don't look scary or convincing as much as videogame fake... the movie looked a lot freakier when you couldn't actually see the monsters; it became a joke once they were in full view
assuming that this was the director's decision, i'm not so sure he's a very good one
