Saw the trailer for it today on IMDB and although i was initially put off by the fact its a Will Smith film, it actually looks like it could be pretty good. Anyone read the book by Richard Matheson, and is it worth reading?

will smith is brilliant
NO
i've read it
it's very good. can't imagine will smith being particularly well suited to the role
Vincent Price and Charlton Heston have both tackled the role
Were they suited? Ive only seen The Omega Man which was so-so.
heislegend
book is amazing
it will be SHIT
The book is mint
and one if its best parts is the ending, and i will be shocked if they keep the same ending into the film. I hope it will be good...but im not getting my hopes up.
The book is brilliant
Omega Man was shit, the new film will probably be very shit.
The book is very ace
not too sure how the film will be. It could be ok although I don't think Will Smith is right for the lead.
I like Will Smith
sorry.
^ me too
I swear he always gets really unfairly slated.
I like the book
it conjures up a nice sense of eerie isolation, but the end seems a bit abrupt almost.
not entirely sure how well the film would work. wish they'd kept it set in LA, though I see why they've plumped for New York instead.
Basically, I'm not that sure on the film. I shall 'wait and see'.
I read somewhere
that they're keeping the ending the same as the book, and the trailer looks brilliant, 28 Days Later with a bigger budget, and Will Smith's got quite decent lately, he was excellent in The Pursuit Of Happyness. I think this'll be really good.
this looks quite good.
Think I'll read the book first. Sounds very similar to 'Cell' by Stephen King in the apocalyptic sense.
The book is awesome.
The film MUST be faithful to it
well it's not
so there.
well then
I might suicide bomb the world
i request a short synopsis please
is it like the omega man as people have mentioned above?
i really like the omega man :s
