UPDATED With info about Protosevich's Involvement! Have you been curious what's been going on with I AM LEGEND'

Hey folks, Harry here... Before I went off to Chicago, I just wanted to clarify this piece of info for you people. The guy who actually conducted the interview with Bowman sent me this, so take not that Protosevich is attached and is still doing the writing! So take heart! If that be the case... well, things may be awfully rosy!

I'm the guy who interviewed Rob Bowman for "Vampires & Slayers" concerning "I Am Legend." I just wanted to clarify one thing: Mark Protosevich is still very much the writer involved with the project. He is the screenwriter of Bowman's version. Just thought you should know

Most of you know I'm a huge fan of the Mark Protosevich script called I AM LEGEND. I'm also a fan of the Charlton Heston THE OMEGA MAN and the Price THE LAST MAN ON EARTH. And of course I love Matheson's original book that it was all based on.

There's been a lot of fighting over this film for a while now. Protosevich's script began with a gigantic tsunami of praise, and then Ridley Scott began rewriting it with John Logan (writer of RKO 281). Then they went back to Protosevich, but then Warner Brothers wanted to trim the budget by.... (about the exact same amount of money it would cost to hire ARNOLD) 20 Million.

Next thing we know Ridley Scott is off directing GLADIATOR, Protosevich's script is apparently discarded and Rob Bowman (he directed the X-FILES movie among many of the episodes as well) came on as director.

It seems that they are completely rewriting the script from page one. Reconceiving it all, adding narration and many other bits here and there. Go check out the interview: Click Here To Read The Interview Between "Vampires and Slayers" and Director Rob Bowman.
