I'll tell ya, that movie was a major let down. --Yancyfry jr 03:54, 30 August 2006 (UTC)
This version is beyond you, go watch the Will Smith version. :))

I read somewhere on line that Will Smith will play Heston's part in the Remake of the Omega man. Anyone heard of this? Is it true?

[edit] Would just like to point this out.

The Omega Man was much like MacGyver, even though Neville more often than not had resources available to him in the city, and Neville was more knowledgable. The two characters seem to both be an example of bricoleurs. -- kanzure 19:53, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:The Omega Man DVD cover.jpg

Image:The Omega Man DVD cover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 06:52, 6 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Will Smith

The movie I Am Legend is being released in 2007 (December 14), not 2008.70.101.211.40 (talk) 22:25, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Interracial Kiss?

I've never seen the film, but I've recently been told that it contains an early interracial kiss -- with, perhaps, Rosalind Cash? Is this so? It certainly wouldn't have been the first, but if it takes place, then it should, perhaps, be mentioned, as an interesting example of interracial romance in early 70's film history.68.72.94.110 (talk) 01:34, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

yeah there is more than a kiss, and I am not sure why it is rated PG, since there is some nudity Rds865 (talk) 17:52, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Religious Symbolism and themes

should there be a part on the religious symbolism in the movie? such as the depictions of the main character as Christ? Rds865 (talk) 17:52, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Not unless you can find some references that support that idea. Otherwise it is original research, a big no-no. — Frecklefσσt | Talk 19:30, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Just to provide a possible point of reference to anyon who wants to pursue it, I remember reading about the religious symbolism on the back cover of the laser disc release several years ago - I only have a vague recollection but it spoke of the pose in which Heston's character died being Jesus-like, and the plan to restart humanity, just like Adam and Eve in Eden, 'but this time we aint going to trust a friggin snake' or something to that effect. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.135.27.28 (talk) 08:00, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Homeless People

Should it be noted somewhere in the artice that in a few outside shots of the city homeless people (from real life) can be seen in the backgrounds? MattyC3350 (talk) 06:04, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

My opinion: No. Gouveia2 (talk) 15:21, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
