I Am Legend (2007)



The cure for cancer has been found!  Side effects include death, sensitivity to light, and rabid mutant tendencies.  Robert Neville is the sole survivor (or so it seems) in the city that finally went to sleep.  With only a German Shepard to talk to, he spends his days chasing deer and trying to find a cure for the virus that wiped out humanity.  Robert's perseverance pays off when he finally does find the cure, which is brought to a Vermont settlement by some other survivors after his untimely demise.  I Am Legend had some impressive location shooting, shutting down Times Square and turning several streets of Manhattan into a wasteland and, despite some scientific inconsistencies, is an enjoyable post-apocalyptic flick.  


I Am Legend was filmed in New York, NY and Lambertville, NJ
