I Am Legend Alternate Ending
I Am Legend (film)

I Am Legend is a 2007 American post-apocalyptic science fiction thriller film directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Will Smith. It is the third feature film adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 novel of the same name, following 1964's The Last Man on Earth and 1971's The Omega Man.Smith plays virologist Robert Neville, who is immune to a man-made virus originally created to cure cancer. He works to create a remedy while defending himself against humans mutated by the virus.

Warner Bros. began developing I Am Legend in 1994, and various actors and directors were attached to the project, though production was delayed due to budgetary concerns related to the script. Production began 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 ever filmed in the city at the time.

In the alternate ending, the alpha male makes a butterfly-shaped smear on the glass. Neville realizes that the alpha male is identifying the woman he was experimenting on by a butterfly tattoo, and that the alpha male wants her back. Neville puts his gun down and returns the infected woman. Neville and the alpha male then exchange stares; Neville apologizes to the Darkseekers; the alpha male acknowledges his apology, and the infected leave. The final shot follows Neville, Anna, and Ethan as they drive away towards Vermont with the antidote.

According to visual effects supervisor Janek Sirrs: "At that point, Neville's — and the audience's — assumptions about the nature of these creatures are shown to be incorrect. We see that they have actually retained some of their humanity. There is a very important moment between the alpha male and Neville."

    From inside we could hear Phineas fall clumsily down the white marble stairs. Everyone stayed calm as we rushed outside to assist him. Finny said he couldn’t move or feel his legs and people started splitting up to go get help and shouting orders. Once the doctors and nurses arrived some of us helped to move him to the infirmary.

    “If I can but reach that bridge,” thought Ichabod, “I am safe.” The church bridge was rickety looking, but was the only way to safety. Ichabod could feel the hot breath of the black steed cutting close behind him. Petrified, he convulsively kicked in the ribs of old Gunpowder and they took off like lightening towards the bridge. Ichabod had cast a look behind him to see if his followers had vanished. Just then, the goblin rider had a pumpkin with fire on top of his head as though it was his own. Ichabod raced inside the bridge, eager to get out of this awful vicinity.…

    I ran out of the garage and towards the field. As I ran I thought to myself it can’t be the end of the season already has it? Once I found Roberto and Papa I saw they were sitting under a tree. I was trying to speak in between panting. I had never run so hard in my life. “Papa is is the end of the season already. I mean it has only been a month.” I said hastily. “I'm sorry but Sullivan can no longer pay us. We must move.” Papa sighed, “I'm sorry Francisco.” Roberto stayed silent and was looking down.I didn’t know how to respond just thinking about all that I would lose during this move saddened me.

    Irene looked back making sure no one was close enough to get hit with the flogger when she swung back. She lifted the flogger and smacked down whipping her diagonally then quickly whipped in the other direction making an X over and over. Her sub scream and moaned. She stopped and gave a couple rubs on her angery ass giving her sub time to breath. Irene continued whipping her.

    Apocalypses are defined as the end of the world, whereas creation represents the beginning. What comes in between? Once an Apocalypse ends, a creation story begins; thus, there is a cycle. This cycle is portrayed by Richard Matheson in his novel I Am Legend. The protagonist, Robert Neville, survives an apocalyptic world war and a dust-storm-carried disease, but he survives alone. He is the end and the new beginning. Thus, Matheson suggests that within an apocalypse, there can still be elements of a creation myth. To truly begin again, Neville must resort to warrior-like behavior: killing. Neville only has the intention of staying safe and finding a companion to make the apocalypse more bearable. However, during an apocalypse, things never go…

    On the surface, the 2007 film I Am Legend comes across as a mainstream Hollywood action blockbuster and it certainly contains all the essential elements of that genre. It has Will Smith, an established Hollywood star, who plays the lone and masculine hero, who must save everyone at all costs, by defeating the monsters in a series of choreographed action scenes. The film also has a very high production value up to 150 million dollars. However, I Am Legend has a serious message about how we as a society have forgotten God, and in doing so we have failed to value the things that are really important. A close examination of this text shows that it is not just an action/horror film.…
