Will Smith is legend! On December 14th Will Smith will open as the main actor in the first of dozens of films about 2012! The movie is entitled I AM- Legend! You have to love the I AM part! But guess what. This is a make over of a 1954 science fiction novel by Richard Matheson about the last man alive in Los Angeles, California.
The book takes place in the then-future of the years 1976-1979. The location is Los Angeles. The movie takes place in 2012 and the location is on the other side of America- New York.
I Am Legend entered production in 2006 in New York City, filming mainly on location in the city including a $5 million scene at the Brooklyn Bridge, the most expensive scene filmed in the city to date. And of course Warner Bros seeing this as a five year run (to 2012) are designing other marketing tools around the movie and date.
Why $5 million for one scene you ask?
The scene had to meet requirements from 14 government agencies, involved 250 crew members and 1,000 extras, including 160 National Guard members.[20] Also present were several Humvees, three Stryker armored vehicles, a 110-foot cutter, a 41-foot utility boat, and two 25-foot Response Boat Small craft.
Guess what the movie cost!
In case you miss the movie don’t worry. There will be many more scifi pictures between now and 2012.
