Will Smith Reveals The Story Behind Having To Pitch One Of I Am Legend’s Most Tragic Scenes, And I Agree That It Sounds ‘Almost Like From A Sitcom’

In the movie, viewers might recall that Will Smith’s character, Neville, shares a heartwarming bond with his loyal dog, Sam, for much of the film. However, their connection ends on a sorrowful note when Sam is bitten by the virus responsible for the world’s demise. As shared in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Smith and Goldsman had to secure approval from Warner Bros. President Alan Horn to include a scene where Neville puts Sam down. This scene, now looking back, seems almost comically heart-wrenching as Smith recalls.
