Not sure how many of you actually heard about this over the holiday, but the idiots who started this “scandal” should be shot.

Will Smith was so pissed off about this, his publicist actually got back to us, and here is what really went down. Our friend Will did an interview for his several upcoming movies. A conversation ensued about how he thinks that the human mind is inherently good (led to a plug for I am Legend). Since the interviewer was borderline retarded and did not get his point, he said the following statement:

“Even Hitler didn’t wake up going, ‘let me do the most evil thing I can do today.’ I think he woke up in the morning and using a twisted, backwards logic, he set out to do what he thought was ‘good.’”

Another year, another Will-Smith-saves-the-world movie.

I Am Legend had been garnering only decent buzz – until this new trailer surfaced out of the blue. Smith plays Robert Neville, sole survivor of New York and sole hope for the human race…after all humankind becomes virus-carrying zombie-monsters. Neville has no idea why he’s immune to the vicious virus, but he plans on using his non-effected self to restore order to the human race.

That’s all fine and dandy, as long as it gives moviegoers a reason to throw down some change.

Let’s face it: the fall movie season has been terrible, with unremarkable flicks cropping up every week. A movie like I Am Legend is just what moviegoers (and the industry) need for an action-starved season. For action buffs that fancy a bit of build-up before a massive blow-out, the trailer for I Am Legend relies on slow, driven tension more than a quick fix of gratuitous explosions and caffeinated editing – though there are plenty of those as well. I Am Legend will be in theaters December 14.

I am officially excited to see this movie – and you should be too.

I Am Legend – Robert Neville (Will Smith) is a brilliant scientist, but even he could not contain the terrible virus that was unstoppable, incurable… and manmade. Somehow immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City… and maybe the world. But he is not alone.
