It's not hard to find online...but here it is for anyone interested.


The tone of the ending of the film was altered dramatically before the films release, with the majority of the changes made to the standoff between Neville and the infected in his laboratory. Visual effects supervisor Janek Sirrs recounts the original ending starting with the standoff, At that point, Nevilles - and the audiences - assumptions about the nature of these creatures are shown to be incorrect. We see that they have actually retained some of their humanity. There is a very important moment between the alpha male and Neville. David Schaub stated, Then, when Neville finally turns the alpha female over to the alpha male, there is this little love moment between the two of them. The infected then retrieve the captured female and spare Nevilles life. The original final shot follows Neville, Anna, and the boy as they cross the remnants of the George Washington Bridge in hopes of finding other survivors.


Better then the original ending, but still seems like it could be better. I still want to wait and see it with the actual movie to judge it too much first.

Uh i saw that thread...but this thread is about the ending...not the fact that I Am Legend is going to be released on a dying format.

The fact about the existing thread is that it will be release on all 3 formats and you don't need an excess thread to discuss this.

Discussing the ending of the movie doesnt fit in with the discussion about the DVD formats.
