The whole reason the story is called 'I Am Legend' is because Robert Neville was to the Vampires as they are to us. We see a vampire as something scary, to be avoided, which, if we run into will most likely kill us, so we attempt to exterminate them. Eventually when Robert Neville is the last remaining human, the role reversal takes place and he becomes the monster, the legend. I won't ruin how the book ends for you but it ends in a much more satisfying way, where the film just bottled it and went for the 'hollywood ending'. In short: read the book instead. Tone,

The first one wasn't even that good, expecially with the cheesy special effects. I hope Will Smith changes his mind and goes off in a different direction. I think this is a horrible movie idea.
