When somebody hears the title I Am Legend they normally think of the movie starring Will Smith. What some people don't know is there is actually a book associated with the movie. Both the movie and book are about a virus that spread through the city and killed off the only people that didn't turn into what they called “the infected”. The protagonist of the story, Robert Neville, lives his life as one of the only survivors left. Although there are many imilarities the book and the movie also have many differences.
The American author of both the book and the movie I Am Legend was a legend himself. Richard Matheso wrote many other novels and screenplays such as Hell House, The Shrinking Man, and even The Twilight Zone. Richard Matheso was very influential in the development of the zombie genre and in popularizing the concept of a worldwide apocalypse due to disease. He wrote I Am Legend in 1954. The novel was made into its first film in The Last Man On Earth in 1964 then The Omega Man in 1971 and finally I Am Legend in 2007.
The setting from book to the movie was moderately different from one another. In the novel Robert Neville owned a house in the suburbs of Los Angles. He kept it boarded off to keep away the vampires at night. In the movie Robert Neville stayed in a beautiful home in New York. The city is full of vacant, dark, and destroyed building. Both in the movie and the book the streets were covered in used empty cars, and strange animals randomly roaming around. Trees and grass growing excessively in irregular places.
The themes of the novel and film were very similar. A number of themes can be pulled from I Am Legend. An obvious theme being the nature of legends. The whole story is all about a man who stays behing in an empty city with killer “vampires” making him a “legend. With that said “can a man survive on his own” is also a possible theme to the story. Richard Matheso does this by eliminating all humans and leaving creatures known
