18 Years Ago Today, This Blockbuster Adapted a Sci-Fi Masterpiece for the 3rd Time (& It’s Getting a Sequel)

Will Smith first played the role of Robert Neville in the 2007 film I Am Legend, and he’s now returning for a sequel that fans are eagerly awaiting. Neville is a military virologist who is the sole survivor in New York City after a deadly virus wipes out most of humanity, turning the remaining population into vampire-like creatures called “Darkseekers.” He spends his time searching for a cure and scavenging for supplies with his dog, Sam. However, I Am Legend wasn’t the first adaptation of this story.
