  I

  the

  podcast
• 1:35
  that's
• 1:35
  all
• 1:35
  about
• 1:35
  the
• 1:35
  history
• 1:36
  and
• 1:36
  legacy.
• 1:36
  Movies
• 1:37
  you
• 1:37
  know,
• 1:37
  and
• 1:38
  movies
• 1:38
  you
• 1:38
  don't.
• 1:38
  That
• 1:39
  factor.
• 1:39
  Fast
• 1:40
  forward
• 1:40
  the
• 1:40
  chapters
• 1:40
  on
• 1:41
  the
• 1:41
  Blu
• 1:41
  Ray
• 1:41
  where
• 1:42
  Sam
• 1:42
  gets
• 1:42
  infected
• 1:43
  and
• 1:43
  dies
• 1:44
  because
• 1:45
  they
• 1:46
  just
• 1:46
  make
• 1:46
  me
• 1:46
  too
• 1:47
  upset.

  Still

  watch
• 1:51
  a
• 1:51
  dog
• 1:51
  die
• 1:51
  on
• 1:52
  screen.
• 1:52
  I
• 1:52
  just
• 1:53
  can't.
• 1:54
  Welcome
• 1:54
  to

  Verbal

  Diorama.

  listen
• 2:12
  and
• 2:12
  support
• 2:13
  this
• 2:13
  podcast.
• 2:14
  This
• 2:14
  podcast
• 2:14
  has
• 2:14
  been
• 2:15
  going
• 2:15
  for
• 2:15
  almost
• 2:15
  seven
• 2:15
  years
• 2:16
  now
• 2:16
  and
• 2:16
  I'm
• 2:17
  hugely
• 2:17
  grateful
• 2:18
  for
• 2:18
  your
• 2:18
  support
• 2:19
  and
• 2:19
  it
• 2:19
  genuinely
• 2:20
  means
• 2:20
  so
• 2:20
  much
• 2:21
  because
• 2:21
  yes,
• 2:21
  even
• 2:21
  by
• 2:22
  listening
• 2:22
  to
• 2:22
  a
• 2:22
  podcast,
• 2:23
  you
• 2:23
  are
• 2:23
  still
• 2:24
  supporting
• 2:24
  that
• 2:24
  podcast.
• 2:25
  And
• 2:25
  I
• 2:25
  am
• 2:25
  so
• 2:25
  grateful
• 2:26
  for
• 2:26
  that
• 2:26
  support.
• 2:27
  And
• 2:27
  we
• 2:27
  are
• 2:28
  moving
• 2:28
  on
• 2:28
  from
• 2:29
  last
• 2:29
  week,
• 2:30
  which
• 2:30
  was
• 2:30
  Austin
• 2:30
  Powers
• 2:31
  International
• 2:31
  man
• 2:32
  of
• 2:32
  Mystery,
• 2:33
  a
• 2:33
  movie
• 2:33
  that
• 2:34
  almost
• 2:34
  ended
• 2:34
  in
• 2:35
  catastrophe,
• 2:36
  but
• 2:36
  didn't,
• 2:37
  thanks
• 2:37
  to
• 2:37
  Austin
• 2:38
  Powers,
• 2:39
  to
• 2:39
  a
• 2:40
  movie
• 2:40
  that
• 2:40
  has
• 2:41
  a
• 2:41
  future,
• 2:42
  generic,
• 2:43
  apocalyptic
• 2:44
  catastrophe,
• 2:45
  but
• 2:45
  that
• 2:45
  also
• 2:46
  has
• 2:46
  a
• 2:46
  great
• 2:47
  Will
• 2:47
  Smith
• 2:48
  performance
• 2:49
  and
• 2:49
  a
• 2:49
  thoughtful,
• 2:50
  occasionally
• 2:51
  insightful,
• 2:53
  often
• 2:53
  deviating
• 2:54
  adaptation
• 2:55
  of
• 2:56
  Richard
• 2:56
  Matheson's
• 2:57
  novel
• 2:57
  of
• 2:58
  the
• 2:58
  same
• 2:58
  name.
• 2:59
  Here's
• 3:00
  the
• 3:00
  trailer
• 3:00
  for
• 3:01
  I
• 3:01
  Am
• 3:02
  Legend.
• 5:39
  Scientist
• 5:40
  Robert
• 5:40
  Neville
• 5:41
  was
• 5:41
  unable
• 5:41
  to
• 5:42
  stop
• 5:42
  the
• 5:42
  spread
• 5:42
  of
• 5:43
  a
• 5:43
  terrible
• 5:43
  virus
• 5:44
  that
• 5:44
  was
• 5:44
  incurable
• 5:45
  and
• 5:45
  man
• 5:45
  made.
• 5:46
  Now
• 5:47
  the
• 5:47
  last
• 5:47
  human
• 5:47
  survivor
• 5:48
  in
• 5:48
  what
• 5:49
  is
• 5:49
  left
• 5:49
  of
• 5:49
  New
• 5:49
  York
• 5:50
  City
• 5:50
  and
• 5:50
  perhaps
• 5:50
  the
• 5:51
  world.
• 5:51
  For
• 5:52
  three
• 5:52
  years,
• 5:52
  Neville
• 5:53
  has
• 5:53
  faithfully
• 5:54
  sent
• 5:54
  out
• 5:54
  daily
• 5:55
  radio
• 5:55
  messages,
• 5:56
  desperate
• 5:57
  to
• 5:57
  find
• 5:57
  any
• 5:57
  other
• 5:58
  survivors
• 5:58
  who
• 5:59
  might
• 5:59
  be
• 5:59
  out
• 5:59
  there.
• 6:00
  But
• 6:00
  Robert
• 6:01
  Neville
• 6:01
  is
• 6:01
  not
• 6:02
  alone.
• 6:03
  Mutant
• 6:03
  victims
• 6:04
  of
• 6:04
  the
• 6:04
  plague,
• 6:04
  the
• 6:05
  dark
• 6:05
  Seekers
• 6:06
  lurk
• 6:06
  in
• 6:06
  the
• 6:06
  shadows,
• 6:07
  watching
• 6:08
  his
• 6:08
  every
• 6:08
  move,
• 6:09
  waiting
• 6:09
  for
• 6:10
  him
• 6:10
  to
• 6:10
  make
• 6:10
  a
• 6:11
  fatal
• 6:11
  mistake.
• 6:12
  Perhaps
• 6:13
  mankind's
• 6:13
  last
• 6:14
  best
• 6:14
  hope.
• 6:15
  Neville
• 6:16
  is
• 6:16
  driven
• 6:16
  by
• 6:16
  only
• 6:17
  one
• 6:17
  remaining
• 6:17
  mission.
• 6:18
  To
• 6:19
  find
• 6:19
  a
• 6:19
  way
• 6:19
  to
• 6:19
  reverse
• 6:20
  the
• 6:20
  effects
• 6:20
  of
• 6:20
  the
• 6:21
  virus
• 6:21
  using
• 6:21
  his
• 6:22
  own
• 6:22
  immune
• 6:23
  blood.
• 6:23
  But
• 6:24
  he
• 6:24
  knows
• 6:24
  he's
• 6:25
  outnumbered
• 6:25
  and
• 6:26
  quickly
• 6:26
  running
• 6:27
  out
• 6:27
  of
• 6:27
  time.
• 6:28
  Let's
• 6:29
  run
• 6:29
  through
• 6:29
  the
• 6:29
  cast
• 6:30
  of
• 6:30
  the
• 6:30
  movie.
• 6:30
  We
• 6:31
  have
• 6:31
  Will
• 6:31
  Smith
• 6:32
  as
• 6:32
  Dr.
• 6:32
  Robert
• 6:33
  Neville,
• 6:33
  Abby
• 6:34
  as
• 6:35
  Samantha,
• 6:36
  Alice
• 6:36
  Braga
• 6:37
  as
• 6:37
  Anna,
• 6:38
  Charlie
• 6:39
  Tayan
• 6:39
  as
• 6:39
  Ethan,
• 6:40
  Sally
• 6:41
  Richardson
• 6:42
  as
• 6:42
  Zoe
• 6:42
  Neville,
• 6:43
  Willow
• 6:43
  Smith
• 6:44
  as
• 6:44
  Marley
• 6:45
  Neville,
• 6:45
  Dash
• 6:46
  Mihok
• 6:46
  as
• 6:47
  the
• 6:47
  Alpha
• 6:47
  male
• 6:48
  and
• 6:48
  Joanna
• 6:48
  Numata
• 6:49
  as
• 6:49
  the
• 6:49
  Alpha
• 6:50
  female.
• 6:51
  I
• 6:51
  Am
• 6:52
  Legend
• 6:52
  has
• 6:52
  a
• 6:52
  screenplay
• 6:53
  by
• 6:53
  Mark
• 6:53
  Protosevich
• 6:54
  and
• 6:54
  Akiva
• 6:55
  Goldsman
• 6:55
  and
• 6:56
  was
• 6:56
  directed
• 6:56
  by
• 6:57
  Francis
• 6:57
  Lawrence.
• 6:59
  So
• 6:59
  the
• 6:59
  story
• 6:59
  for
• 7:00
  this
• 7:00
  really
• 7:00
  starts
• 7:00
  with
• 7:01
  Richard
• 7:01
  Matheson
• 7:02
  and
• 7:02
  he
• 7:02
  proved
• 7:02
  influential
• 7:03
  for
• 7:03
  many
• 7:04
  modern
• 7:04
  vampire
• 7:05
  and
• 7:05
  zombie
• 7:05
  movies,
• 7:06
  most
• 7:06
  notably
• 7:07
  with
• 7:07
  Night
• 7:08
  of
• 7:08
  the
• 7:08
  Living
• 7:08
  Dead
• 7:09
  taking
• 7:09
  inspiration
• 7:10
  from
• 7:10
  him,
• 7:11
  as
• 7:11
  well
• 7:11
  as
• 7:12
  movies
• 7:12
  like
• 7:12
  28
• 7:13
  Days
• 7:13
  Later.
• 7:14
  It
• 7:14
  makes
• 7:14
  sense
• 7:15
  that
• 7:15
  his
• 7:15
  1954
• 7:16
  post
• 7:16
  apocalyptic
• 7:17
  novel
• 7:18
  I
• 7:18
  Am
• 7:18
  Legend
• 7:19
  would
• 7:19
  inspire
• 7:20
  Hollywood
• 7:20
  cinema
• 7:21
  with
• 7:21
  its
• 7:21
  own
• 7:21
  adaptations.
• 7:23
  I
• 7:23
  Am
• 7:23
  Legend
• 7:24
  itself
• 7:24
  was
• 7:24
  influenced
• 7:25
  by
• 7:25
  Mary
• 7:25
  Shelley's
• 7:26
  1826
• 7:27
  novel
• 7:27
  the
• 7:28
  Last
• 7:28
  Man.
• 7:29
  But
• 7:29
  unsurprisingly,
• 7:30
  I
• 7:30
  Am
• 7:30
  Legend
• 7:31
  is
• 7:31
  not
• 7:31
  the
• 7:31
  only
• 7:32
  adaptation
• 7:33
  of
• 7:33
  I
• 7:33
  am
• 7:33
  legendary.
• 7:35
  In
• 7:35
  1964,
• 7:36
  Vincent
• 7:36
  Price
• 7:37
  starred
• 7:37
  in
• 7:37
  the
• 7:37
  Last
• 7:38
  man
• 7:38
  on
• 7:38
  Earth,
• 7:39
  based
• 7:39
  on
• 7:39
  I
• 7:39
  Am
• 7:40
  Legend
• 7:40
  and
• 7:40
  with
• 7:40
  a
• 7:41
  screenplay
• 7:41
  written
• 7:42
  in
• 7:42
  part
• 7:42
  by
• 7:42
  Matheson
• 7:43
  himself.
• 7:44
  But
• 7:44
  he
• 7:44
  was
• 7:45
  dissatisfied
• 7:45
  with
• 7:46
  the
• 7:46
  result
• 7:46
  and
• 7:46
  chose
• 7:47
  to
• 7:47
  be
• 7:47
  credited
• 7:47
  under
• 7:48
  the
• 7:48
  pseudonym
• 7:49
  Logan
• 7:49
  Swanson.
• 7:50
  The
• 7:51
  Last
• 7:51
  man
• 7:51
  on
• 7:51
  Earth
• 7:52
  wasn't
• 7:52
  a
• 7:52
  commercial
• 7:52
  success,
• 7:53
  but
• 7:53
  it
• 7:53
  was
• 7:54
  a
• 7:54
  critical
• 7:54
  one.
• 7:55
  Matheson
• 7:56
  would
• 7:56
  say
• 7:56
  that
• 7:56
  while
• 7:57
  it
• 7:57
  was
• 7:57
  faithful
• 7:57
  to
• 7:58
  his
• 7:58
  novel,
• 7:58
  Price
• 7:59
  was
• 7:59
  miscast
• 8:00
  as
• 8:00
  protagonist
• 8:01
  Dr.
• 8:01
  Robert
• 8:01
  Morgan
• 8:02
  with
• 8:02
  weak
• 8:03
  and
• 8:03
  unintelligent
• 8:04
  vampiritic
• 8:05
  creatures
• 8:05
  that
• 8:05
  are
• 8:06
  repelled
• 8:06
  by
• 8:06
  garlic
• 8:07
  and
• 8:07
  sunlight
• 8:07
  and
• 8:08
  that
• 8:08
  quote,
• 8:08
  aren't
• 8:09
  very
• 8:09
  over
• 8:09
  the
• 8:10
  top
• 8:10
  but
• 8:10
  don't
• 8:10
  seem
• 8:11
  very
• 8:11
  threatening
• 8:11
  either,
• 8:12
  unquote.
• 8:14
  The
• 8:14
  movie
• 8:14
  the
• 8:15
  Last
• 8:15
  man
• 8:15
  on
• 8:15
  Earth
• 8:16
  is
• 8:16
  now
• 8:16
  in
• 8:16
  the
• 8:16
  public
• 8:17
  domain.
• 8:17
  So
• 8:18
  if

  month

  period
• 12:30
  for
• 12:31
  the
• 12:31
  creature
• 12:31
  makeup.
• 12:32
  They
• 12:32
  put
• 12:33
  together
• 12:33
  an
• 12:33
  elaborate
• 12:34
  makeup
• 12:34
  test
• 12:34
  for
• 12:35
  the
• 12:35
  mutant
• 12:35
  vampires.
• 12:37
  Now,
• 12:37
  we
• 12:37
  know
• 12:37
  these
• 12:37
  designs
• 12:38
  weren't
• 12:38
  used,
• 12:39
  but
• 12:39
  they
• 12:39
  should
• 12:40
  have
• 12:40
  been
• 12:40
  because
• 12:41
  as
• 12:41
  the
• 12:41
  videos
• 12:42
  on
• 12:42
  YouTube
• 12:42
  show,
• 12:43
  they're
• 12:43
  beautifully
• 12:44
  designed,
• 12:45
  practical
• 12:45
  creatures.
• 12:46
  Once
• 12:47
  the
• 12:47
  Ridley
• 12:47
  Scott
• 12:47
  version
• 12:48
  was
• 12:48
  cancelled,
• 12:49
  the
• 12:49
  team
• 12:49
  were
• 12:50
  contacted
• 12:50
  again
• 12:50
  when
• 12:51
  the
• 12:51
  Will
• 12:51
  Smith
• 12:52
  and
• 12:52
  Francis
• 12:52
  Lawrence
• 12:53
  version
• 12:53
  went
• 12:53
  ahead.
• 12:54
  However,
• 12:55
  as
• 12:55
  we
• 12:55
  know,
• 12:56
  we
• 12:56
  ended
• 12:56
  up
• 12:56
  with
• 12:56
  CG
• 12:57
  creatures,
• 12:58
  but
• 12:58
  I
• 12:58
  will
• 12:58
  pop
• 12:59
  the
• 12:59
  link
• 12:59
  to

• 13:01
  in
• 13:01
  the
• 13:01
  show
• 13:01
  notes.
• 13:03
  So
• 13:03
  what
• 13:03
  happened
• 13:04
  to
• 13:04
  the
• 13:04
  Ridley
• 13:04
  Scott
• 13:04
  and
• 13:05
  Arnold
• 13:05
  Schwarzenegger
• 13:06
  version?
• 13:06
  Well,
• 13:07
  they
• 13:07
  weren't
• 13:07
  having
• 13:07
  the
• 13:08

  to

  But

  Bowman

  again

  the

  this

  the

  Will

  Smith

  was

• 14:43
  Bay
• 14:44
  and

  Smith
• 14:44
  were

  interested,

  but

  Warner

• 14:46
  President
• 14:46
  Alan

  F.
• 14:47
  Horn

  again

  I

  Am

  Legend
• 14:51
  was
• 14:51
  shelved.
• 14:52
  Smith
• 14:53
  would
• 14:53
  stay
• 14:53
  in
• 14:54
  everyone's
• 14:54
  minds,
• 14:54
  though,
• 14:55
  and
• 14:55
  in
• 14:55
  2004
• 14:56
  Akiva
• 14:57
  Goldsman
• 14:58
  was
• 14:58
  hired
• 14:58
  to
• 14:58
  produce
• 14:59
  a
• 14:59
  new
• 14:59
  version
• 15:00
  of
• 15:00
  I
• 15:00
  Am
• 15:00
  Legend.
• 15:01
  Goldsman,
• 15:02
  who
• 15:02
  coincidentally
• 15:03
  wrote
• 15:03
  Batman
• 15:03
  and
• 15:04
  Robin
• 15:04
  and
• 15:04
  also
• 15:05
  produced
• 15:05
  Constantine,
• 15:06
  that
• 15:07
  probably
• 15:07
  won't
• 15:07
  come
• 15:07
  up
• 15:08
  again
• 15:08
  later
• 15:08
  in
• 15:08
  this
• 15:08
  episode
• 15:09
  at
• 15:09
  all.
• 15:10
  But
• 15:10
  Constantine
• 15:10
  was
• 15:11
  key
• 15:11
  really,
• 15:11
  because
• 15:12
  the
• 15:12
  director
• 15:12
  of
• 15:12
  Constantine
• 15:13
  was
• 15:14
  Francis
• 15:14
  Lawrence,
• 15:15
  and
• 15:15
  Goldman
• 15:16
  had
• 15:16
  previous
• 15:17
  experience
• 15:17
  working
• 15:18
  with
• 15:18
  him
• 15:18
  as
• 15:18
  a
• 15:18
  director.
• 15:19
  And
• 15:19
  so
• 15:20
  Lawrence
• 15:20
  was
• 15:20
  asked
• 15:20
  to
• 15:21
  direct
• 15:21
  I
• 15:21
  Am
• 15:22
  Legend.
• 15:22
  In
• 15:22
  September
• 15:23
  2005,
• 15:24
  with
• 15:24
  another
• 15:25
  rewrite
• 15:25
  of
• 15:25
  the
• 15:26

• 15:26
  planned
• 15:26
  for
• 15:27
  Mark
• 15:27
  Protozevich.
• 15:28
  And
• 15:28
  Akiva
• 15:29
  Goldsman
• 15:29
  also
• 15:30
  stepped
• 15:30
  up
• 15:30
  to
• 15:30
  writing
• 15:31
  duties
• 15:31
  to
• 15:32
  distance
• 15:32
  it
• 15:32
  from
• 15:32
  recent
• 15:33
  zombie
• 15:33
  movies
• 15:34
  like
• 15:34
  28
• 15:34
  Days
• 15:35
  later,
• 15:35
  with
• 15:36
  elements
• 15:36
  of
• 15:36
  Protosevic's
• 15:37
  script
• 15:38
  kept.
• 15:39
  Most
• 15:39
  importantly,
• 15:40
  Goldsman
• 15:41
  moved
• 15:41
  the
• 15:41
  script
• 15:42
  location
• 15:42
  from
• 15:43
  Los
• 15:43
  Angeles
• 15:43
  to
• 15:44
  New
• 15:44
  York
• 15:45
  to
• 15:45
  highlight
• 15:45
  the
• 15:46
  emptiness
• 15:46
  of
• 15:46
  the
• 15:46
  city
• 15:47
  and
• 15:47
  more
• 15:48
  on
• 15:48
  the
• 15:48
  New
• 15:48
  York
• 15:48
  shoots
• 15:49
  in
• 15:49
  a
• 15:49
  bit.
• 15:51
  Francis
• 15:51
  Lawrence
• 15:52
  came
• 15:52
  to
• 15:52
  the
• 15:52
  movie
• 15:52
  with
• 15:53
  a
• 15:53
  desire
• 15:53
  to
• 15:53
  keep
• 15:53
  the
• 15:54
  star
• 15:54
  atmospheric
• 15:55
  and
• 15:55
  almost
• 15:56
  silent
• 15:57
  because
• 15:57
  he
• 15:57
  realised
• 15:58
  that
• 15:58
  silence
• 15:59
  could
• 15:59
  be
• 15:59
  effective
• 16:00
  cinema.
• 16:01
  In
• 16:01
  April
• 16:02
  2006,
• 16:03
  it
• 16:03
  was
• 16:03
  confirmed

  a

  pay
• 16:08
  or
• 16:08
  play
• 16:09
  deal,
• 16:09
  which
• 16:09
  basically
• 16:10
  means
• 16:11
  he
• 16:11
  would
• 16:11
  be
• 16:11
  paid
• 16:12
  regardless
• 16:12
  if

  the

  made

  not.

  He

  had

  also

  made

  a

  then

  he

  would

  move

  on

  to

  I

  But

  delays

  Hancock
• 16:30
  meant

  the

  essentially

  and

  I

  had

  into

  Smith's

• 16:39
  Smith
• 16:39
  had

  also
• 16:39
  wanted

  Guillermo

  but

  Del

  Toro

  declined,

  preferring

  The

  of

  I

  16

  weeks

  of

  before

  filming
• 16:53
  began
• 16:53
  in
• 16:54
  September
• 16:55
  2006.
• 16:56
  Smith
• 16:56
  would
• 16:56
  visit
• 16:57
  the
• 16:57
  Centers
• 16:57
  for
• 16:58
  Disease
• 16:58
  Control
• 16:58
  and
• 16:59
  Prevention
• 16:59
  in
• 16:59
  Washington
• 17:00
  to
• 17:00
  see
• 17:01
  a
• 17:01
  level
• 17:01
  four
• 17:01
  lab,
• 17:02
  the
• 17:02
  most
• 17:02
  secure,
• 17:03
  where
• 17:03
  they
• 17:04
  experiment
• 17:04
  with
• 17:05
  biological
• 17:05
  Hazards.
• 17:06
  He
• 17:07
  also
• 17:07
  met
• 17:07
  with
• 17:07
  a
• 17:08
  person
• 17:08
  who
• 17:08
  had
• 17:08
  been
• 17:08
  in
• 17:09
  solitary
• 17:09
  confinement
• 17:10
  and
• 17:10
  a
• 17:10
  former
• 17:11
  prisoner
• 17:11
  of
• 17:11
  war
• 17:12
  to
• 17:12
  research
• 17:13
  how
• 17:13
  loneliness
• 17:14
  and
• 17:14
  solitude
• 17:15
  affects
• 17:15
  mental
• 17:16
  health.
• 17:16
  He
• 17:17
  would
• 17:17
  say
• 17:17
  that
• 17:17
  Robert
• 17:18
  Neville
• 17:18
  was
• 17:18
  his
• 17:18
  toughest
• 17:19
  role
• 17:19
  since
• 17:20
  playing
• 17:20
  Muhammad
• 17:20
  Ali.
• 17:21
  The
• 17:22
  script
• 17:22
  would
• 17:22
  be
• 17:22
  constantly
• 17:23
  rewritten
• 17:23
  during
• 17:24
  production,
• 17:25
  mostly
• 17:25
  due
• 17:25
  to
• 17:25
  Smith's
• 17:26
  ad
• 17:26
  nibbing.
• 17:27
  And
• 17:27
  honestly,
• 17:28
  I'm
• 17:28
  just
• 17:28
  surprised
• 17:29
  now
• 17:29
  that
• 17:30
  we
• 17:30
  are
• 17:30
  post
• 17:30
  Covid
• 17:31
  that
• 17:31
  with
• 17:31
  an

  virus,
• 17:33
  no
• 17:33
  one
• 17:33
  in
• 17:34
  this
• 17:34
  movie
• 17:34
  thinks
• 17:35
  to
• 17:35
  wear
• 17:35
  a
• 17:35
  face
• 17:36
  mask.
• 17:37
  And
• 17:37
  this
• 17:37
  movie
• 17:37
  would
• 17:38
  mostly
• 17:38
  be
• 17:38
  the
• 17:39
  Will
• 17:39
  Smith
• 17:39
  show,
• 17:40
  with

• 17:40
  half
• 17:41
  of
• 17:41
  the
• 17:41
  movie
• 17:41
  showing
• 17:42
  Neville's
• 17:42
  solitude,
• 17:43
  his
• 17:43
  declining
• 17:44
  mental
• 17:44
  state,
• 17:45
  his
• 17:45
  resulting
• 17:46
  PTSD
• 17:46
  from
• 17:47
  the
• 17:47
  events
• 17:47
  before
• 17:47
  the

  movie,
• 17:48
  the
• 17:48
  and
• 17:48
  his
• 17:49
  grief.
• 17:49
  It
• 17:50
  was
• 17:50
  announced
• 17:50
  in
• 17:51
  September
• 17:51
  2006
• 17:52
  that
• 17:52
  starring

  alongside

  him

  as

  on
• 17:54
  screen
• 17:55
  daughter
• 17:55
  Marley
• 17:56
  would

  be

  his

  real
• 17:57
  life
• 17:57
  daughter
• 17:57
  Willow
• 17:58
  Smith.
• 17:59
  Sally
• 17:59
  Richardson
• 18:00
  would

  join

  as

  Neville's
• 18:01
  wife
• 18:01
  Zoe,

  who

  was

  and

  Alice

  Braga
• 18:05
  as

  Anna.
• 18:06
  There

  were

  unconfirmed
• 18:07
  reports
• 18:08
  that
• 18:08
  Gabrielle

  was

  cast.
• 18:10
  Obviously
• 18:11
  that
• 18:11
  never

  happened.
• 18:12
  There

  were

  also
• 18:12
  rumors
• 18:13
  circulating
• 18:14
  in
• 18:14
  September
• 18:14
  2006
• 18:15
  that

  Johnny

  would

  be

  a

  Robert

  Neville.
• 18:21
  These
• 18:21
  were
• 18:21
  also
• 18:22
  confirmed
• 18:22
  as
• 18:22
  untrue,
• 18:23
  but
• 18:23
  several

  websites
• 18:24
  still

  picked

  up

  the

  as

• 18:27
  The

  didn't

  to

  While

  top

  the

  of

  Abbey,

  who

  Samantha,
• 18:50
  AKA

  Sam.
• 18:52
  Abbey
• 18:52
  was
• 18:52
  a
• 18:53
  rescue
• 18:53
  from
• 18:53
  a
• 18:53
  California
• 18:54
  kennel.
• 18:54
  She
• 18:55
  wasn't
• 18:55
  a
• 18:56
  trained
• 18:56
  dog
• 18:56
  actor,
• 18:57
  but
• 18:57
  her
• 18:57
  rescuer
• 18:58
  was
• 18:58
  Steve
• 18:58
  Behrens,
• 18:59
  a
• 18:59
  dog
• 19:00
  trainer

  with
• 19:00
  28
• 19:01
  years
• 19:01
  of

  experience.
• 19:02
  Abbey,
• 19:03
  who
• 19:03
  was
• 19:04
  three
• 19:04
  years
• 19:04
  old,
• 19:05
  was
• 19:05
  exactly
• 19:05
  the
• 19:05
  sort
• 19:06
  of
• 19:06
  dog
• 19:06
  Lawrence
• 19:07
  was
• 19:07
  looking
• 19:07
  for.
• 19:08
  And
• 19:08
  after
• 19:08
  just
• 19:09
  three
• 19:09
  weeks
• 19:09
  of
• 19:09
  intense
• 19:10
  training,
• 19:11
  Abbey
• 19:11
  met
• 19:11
  Will
• 19:12
  Smith.
• 19:13
  Smith
• 19:13
  for
• 19:13
  his
• 19:13
  part,
• 19:14
  fell
• 19:14
  in
• 19:14
  love
• 19:14
  with
• 19:15
  Abbey
• 19:15
  and
• 19:15
  even
• 19:16
  tried
• 19:16
  to
• 19:16
  adopt
• 19:16
  her
• 19:17
  after
• 19:17
  filming
• 19:18
  because
• 19:18
  their
• 19:18
  relationship
• 19:19
  was
• 19:19
  so
• 19:19
  great.
• 19:20
  During
• 19:20
  filming
• 19:21
  together,
• 19:21
  they
• 19:22
  worked
• 19:22
  on
• 19:22
  the
• 19:22
  film
• 19:22
  for
• 19:23
  six
• 19:23
  months
• 19:23
  and
• 19:24
  Abbey
• 19:24
  only
• 19:25
  refused
• 19:25
  to
• 19:25
  shoot
• 19:26
  one
• 19:26
  scene,
• 19:26
  which
• 19:27
  was
• 19:27
  ironically
• 19:28
  the
• 19:28
  play
• 19:28
  fetch
• 19:29
  scene.
• 19:29
  They
• 19:30
  instead
• 19:30
  used
• 19:30
  another
• 19:31
  three
• 19:31
  year
• 19:31
  old
• 19:32
  German
• 19:32
  shepherd
• 19:32
  called
• 19:33
  Kona
• 19:33
  who
• 19:34
  had
• 19:34
  just
• 19:34
  given
• 19:34
  birth
• 19:34
  to
• 19:35
  a
• 19:35
  litter
• 19:35
  of
• 19:35
  puppies.
• 19:36
  Before
• 19:36
  filming,
• 19:37
  Abbey
• 19:37
  and
• 19:38
  Kona
• 19:38
  were
• 19:38
  made
• 19:39
  up
• 19:39
  to
• 19:39
  look
• 19:39
  identical.
• 19:40
  For
• 19:40
  filming,
• 19:41
  Abbey
• 19:42
  was
• 19:42
  such
• 19:42
  a
• 19:42
  superstar,
• 19:43
  she
• 19:43
  did
• 19:43
  her
• 19:43
  own
• 19:44
  stunts
• 19:44
  too.
• 19:45
  Not
• 19:45
  only
• 19:45
  did
• 19:46
  she
• 19:46
  really
• 19:46
  walk
• 19:46
  on
• 19:47
  a
• 19:47
  treadmill
• 19:47
  in
• 19:47
  real
• 19:48
  life,
• 19:49
  the
• 19:49
  scene
• 19:49
  I
• 19:49
  still
• 19:49
  can't
• 19:50
  watch
• 19:50
  where
• 19:50
  she
• 19:51
  starts
• 19:51
  to
• 19:51
  turn
• 19:52
  and
• 19:52
  Neville
• 19:52
  decides
• 19:53
  to
• 19:53
  end
• 19:53
  her
• 19:53
  life,
• 19:54
  Abbey
• 19:54
  performed
• 19:55
  this
• 19:55
  herself
• 19:56
  the
• 19:56
  trainer
• 19:57
  would
• 19:57
  get
• 19:57
  her
• 19:57
  to
• 19:57
  roll
• 19:58
  down
• 19:58
  Smith's
• 19:59
  arm
• 19:59
  into
• 19:59
  the
• 19:59
  ground,
• 20:00
  effectively
• 20:01
  playing
• 20:01
  dead.
• 20:02
  Smith
• 20:02
  was
• 20:03
  actually
• 20:03
  scared
• 20:04
  that
• 20:04
  she
• 20:04
  could
• 20:04
  get
• 20:04
  hurt,
• 20:05
  but
• 20:05
  Abbey
• 20:06
  could
• 20:06
  just
• 20:06
  go
• 20:06
  completely
• 20:07
  limp
• 20:07
  on
• 20:08
  command.
• 20:09
  And
• 20:09
  the
• 20:09
  whole
• 20:09
  production
• 20:10
  adored
• 20:10
  Abbey.
• 20:11
  And
• 20:11
  when
• 20:11
  all
• 20:11
  her
• 20:12
  scenes
• 20:12
  were
• 20:12
  shot,
• 20:13
  everyone
• 20:13
  could
• 20:14
  finally
• 20:14
  pet
• 20:14
  her.

  away

  in

  2019,
• 20:17
  age
• 20:18
  13.
• 20:18
  And
• 20:19
  I
• 20:19
  think
• 20:19
  we
• 20:19
  can
• 20:19
  all
• 20:19
  agree
• 20:20
  that
• 20:20
  Abbey
• 20:21
  was
• 20:21
  the
• 20:21
  bestest
• 20:22
  girl.
• 20:23
  But
• 20:23
  back
• 20:23
  to
• 20:24
  filming,
• 20:24
  because
• 20:25
  this
• 20:25
  surprised
• 20:26
  me
• 20:26
  too,
• 20:26
  when
• 20:26
  I
• 20:27
  found
• 20:27
  out
• 20:27
  about
• 20:27
  it.
• 20:28
  I
• 20:28
  Am
• 20:28
  Legend
• 20:29
  is
• 20:29
  shot
• 20:30
  in
• 20:30
  New
• 20:30
  York
• 20:31
  in
• 20:31
  some
• 20:31
  of
• 20:31
  the
• 20:31
  busiest
• 20:32
  places
• 20:32
  on
• 20:33
  Earth.
• 20:33
  Grand
• 20:34
  Central
• 20:34
  Station,
• 20:35
  Fifth
• 20:35
  Avenue
• 20:35
  and
• 20:36
  Washington
• 20:36
  Square
• 20:37
  Park.
• 20:37
  And
• 20:38
  honestly,
• 20:39
  genuinely,
• 20:40
  I
• 20:40
  thought
• 20:40
  most
• 20:40
  of
• 20:41
  these
• 20:41
  scenes
• 20:41
  were
• 20:41
  cgi,
• 20:43
  but
• 20:43
  they're
• 20:43
  not.
• 20:44
  They
• 20:44
  filmed
• 20:45
  on
• 20:45
  those
• 20:45
  barren,
• 20:46
  empty,
• 20:47
  vegetation
• 20:48
  growing
• 20:48
  streets.
• 20:48
  For
• 20:49
  real.
• 20:49
  You
• 20:50
  can
• 20:50
  imagine.
• 20:50
  Warner
• 20:51
  Brothers
• 20:51
  weren't
• 20:52
  keen
• 20:52
  on
• 20:52
  closing
• 20:53
  whole
• 20:53
  city
• 20:53
  blocks
• 20:54
  for
• 20:54
  filming.
• 20:55
  And
• 20:55
  they
• 20:55
  initially
• 20:56
  rejected
• 20:56
  Lawrence's
• 20:57
  idea
• 20:58
  to
• 20:58
  do
• 20:58
  so.
• 20:59
  But
• 20:59
  he
• 20:59
  was
• 20:59
  adamant
• 21:00
  it
• 21:00
  needed
• 21:00
  to
• 21:01
  add
• 21:01
  to
• 21:01
  this
• 21:01
  feeling
• 21:01
  of
• 21:02
  unease.
• 21:02
  And
• 21:03
  he
• 21:03
  didn't
• 21:03
  want
• 21:03
  to
• 21:03
  shoot
• 21:04
  these
• 21:04
  scenes
• 21:04
  on
• 21:04
  a
• 21:05
  soundstage.
• 21:06
  He
• 21:06
  wanted
• 21:06
  to
• 21:06
  shoot
• 21:07
  it
• 21:07
  in
• 21:07
  the
• 21:07
  real
• 21:08
  life
• 21:08
  New
• 21:08
  York
• 21:09
  City.
• 21:10
  He
• 21:10
  even
• 21:10
  filmed
• 21:10
  test
• 21:11
  footage
• 21:11
  in
• 21:11
  New
• 21:11
  York
• 21:12
  on
• 21:12
  a
• 21:12
  camcorder.
• 21:13
  And
• 21:13
  a
• 21:13
  special
• 21:13
  effects
• 21:14
  team
• 21:14
  removed
• 21:15
  the
• 21:15
  people
• 21:15
  to
• 21:16
  get
• 21:16
  the
• 21:16
  eerie
• 21:16
  feel
• 21:17
  they
• 21:17
  were
• 21:17
  after.
• 21:18
  Warner
• 21:18
  Bros.
• 21:19
  Was
• 21:19
  convinced.
• 21:20
  But
• 21:20
  how
• 21:20
  do
• 21:21
  you
• 21:21
  get
• 21:21
  the
• 21:21
  city
• 21:22
  that
• 21:22
  never
• 21:22
  sleeps
• 21:23
  to
• 21:23
  sleep?
• 21:25
  Throughout
• 21:26
  production,
• 21:26
  they
• 21:26
  had
• 21:26
  to
• 21:27
  carefully
• 21:27
  plan
• 21:27
  and
• 21:28
  prep
• 21:28
  what
• 21:29
  they
• 21:29
  would
• 21:29
  need
• 21:29
  to
• 21:29
  do
• 21:30
  to
• 21:30
  make
• 21:30
  this
• 21:30
  world
• 21:30
  look
• 21:31
  not
• 21:32
  only
• 21:32
  empty,
• 21:33
  but
• 21:33
  completely
• 21:34
  barren
• 21:34
  of
• 21:34
  human
• 21:35
  life.
• 21:35
  For
• 21:36
  years,
• 21:37
  they
• 21:37
  weren't
• 21:37
  even
• 21:37
  sure
• 21:38
  how
• 21:38
  much
• 21:38
  of
• 21:38
  the
• 21:38
  city
• 21:39
  would
• 21:39
  be
• 21:39
  covered
• 21:39
  in
• 21:40
  green.
• 21:40
  After
• 21:40
  three
• 21:41
  years,
• 21:41
  it
• 21:42
  would
• 21:42
  actually
• 21:42
  be
• 21:42
  a
• 21:42
  lot
• 21:42
  more
• 21:43
  than
• 21:43
  depicted
• 21:43
  in
• 21:44
  the
• 21:44
  movie.
• 21:44
  According
• 21:44
  to
• 21:45
  scientists,
• 21:46
  when
• 21:46
  filming
• 21:47
  began
• 21:47
  in
• 21:47
  September
• 21:48
  2006,
• 21:49
  the
• 21:49
  whole
• 21:50
  shoot
• 21:50
  was
• 21:50
  a
• 21:50
  logistical
• 21:51
  nightmare.
• 21:52
  It
• 21:52
  was
• 21:52
  the
• 21:53
  biggest
• 21:53
  film
• 21:53
  in
• 21:54
  the
• 21:54
  history
• 21:54
  of
• 21:54
  New
• 21:54
  York
• 21:55
  to
• 21:55
  that
• 21:55
  point.
• 21:56
  The
• 21:56
  mayor's
• 21:57
  office
• 21:57
  was
• 21:57
  on
• 21:57
  set
• 21:58
  almost
• 21:58
  every
• 21:58
  day.
• 21:59
  The
• 21:59
  police
• 21:59
  commissioner
• 22:00
  visited
• 22:01
  too.
• 22:01
  New
• 22:02
  York's
• 22:02
  ground
• 22:02
  level.
• 22:02
  Pedestrians
• 22:03
  would
• 22:04
  simply
• 22:04
  be
• 22:04
  stopped
• 22:05
  from
• 22:05
  entering
• 22:05
  a
• 22:06
  certain
• 22:06
  area.
• 22:07
  They
• 22:07
  cleared
• 22:08
  from
• 22:08
  57th
• 22:08
  street
• 22:09
  to
• 22:09
  St.
• 22:09
  Patrick's
• 22:10
  Cathedral.
• 22:11
  That's
• 22:12
  a
• 22:12
  few
• 22:12
  blocks,
• 22:12
  apparently.
• 22:13
  They
• 22:13
  had
• 22:14
  350
• 22:14
  production
• 22:15
  assistants,
• 22:16
  police
• 22:16
  and
• 22:17
  security.
• 22:18
  Traffic
• 22:18
  was
• 22:19
  stopped,
• 22:19
  and
• 22:19
  for
• 22:20
  the
• 22:20
  most
• 22:20
  part,
• 22:20
  people
• 22:20
  were
• 22:21
  okay
• 22:21
  with
• 22:21
  it.
• 22:22
  But
• 22:22
  while
• 22:22
  ground
• 22:23
  level,
• 22:23
  they
• 22:23
  used
• 22:24
  local
• 22:24
  law
• 22:24
  enforcement
• 22:25
  to
• 22:25
  stop
• 22:25
  traffic
• 22:26
  and
• 22:26
  redress
• 22:27
  the
• 22:27
  streets
• 22:27
  with
• 22:28
  strewn
• 22:28
  cars
• 22:29
  and
• 22:29
  random
• 22:29
  weed
• 22:29
  and
• 22:30
  foliage
• 22:30
  for
• 22:31
  Will
• 22:31
  Smith
• 22:31
  and
• 22:32
  Abby
• 22:32
  to
• 22:32
  walk
• 22:32
  and
• 22:33
  drive
• 22:33
  around.
• 22:34
  There
• 22:34
  were
• 22:34
  still
• 22:34
  things
• 22:35
  that
• 22:35
  needed
• 22:36
  cg,
• 22:37
  such
• 22:37
  as
• 22:37
  the
• 22:38
  people
• 22:38
  high
• 22:38
  up
• 22:38
  in
• 22:38
  their
• 22:39
  apartments
• 22:39
  or
• 22:39
  offices
• 22:40
  looking
• 22:41
  out
• 22:41
  of
• 22:41
  the
• 22:41
  windows.
• 22:42
  They
• 22:42
  all
• 22:42
  had
• 22:42
  to
• 22:43
  be
• 22:43
  removed
• 22:43
  in
• 22:43
  post
• 22:44
  production.
• 22:45
  But
• 22:45
  in
• 22:45
  stark
• 22:46
  contrast
• 22:46
  to
• 22:46
  the
• 22:46
  sparse
• 22:47
  New
• 22:47
  York
• 22:47
  City
• 22:47
  streets,
• 22:48
  the
• 22:49
  production
• 22:49
  would
• 22:49
  end
• 22:49
  up
• 22:49
  spending
• 22:50
  $5
• 22:50
  million
• 22:51
  to
• 22:52
  film
• 22:52
  for
• 22:52
  six
• 22:52
  consecutive
• 22:53
  nights
• 22:54
  in
• 22:54
  January
• 22:55
  2007
• 22:56
  on
• 22:56
  the
• 22:56
  Brooklyn
• 22:57
  Bridge.
• 22:58
  Fourteen
• 22:58
  government
• 22:58
  agencies
• 22:59
  would
• 23:00
  individually
• 23:00
  have
• 23:01
  to
• 23:01
  approve
• 23:01
  the
• 23:01
  shoot,
• 23:02
  which
• 23:02
  needed
• 23:03
  250
• 23:03
  crew
• 23:04
  members
• 23:04
  as
• 23:05
  well
• 23:05
  as
• 23:05
  a
• 23:05
  thousand
• 23:06
  extras
• 23:06
  and
• 23:07
  160
• 23:07
  members
• 23:08
  of
• 23:08
  the
• 23:08
  National
• 23:09
  Guard.
• 23:10
  Again,
• 23:10
  everything
• 23:10
  in
• 23:11
  the
• 23:11
  scene
• 23:11
  was
• 23:11
  real,
• 23:12
  except
• 23:12
  for
• 23:13
  the
• 23:13
  destruction
• 23:13
  of
• 23:13
  the
• 23:13
  Brooklyn
• 23:14
  Bridge
• 23:15
  and
• 23:15
  the
• 23:15
  Manhattan
• 23:15
  Bridge
• 23:16
  from
• 23:16
  missiles.
• 23:17
  Obviously,
• 23:18
  the
• 23:19
  scene
• 23:19
  where
• 23:19
  Neville's
• 23:20
  wife
• 23:20
  and
• 23:20
  daughter
• 23:20
  are
• 23:21
  killed
• 23:21
  in
• 23:21
  a
• 23:21
  helicopter
• 23:22
  crash
• 23:22
  was
• 23:22
  especially
• 23:23
  difficult.
• 23:24
  It
• 23:24
  was
• 23:24
  3am
• 23:25
  Extras
• 23:26
  were
• 23:26
  freezing
• 23:26
  cold.
• 23:27
  Everyone
• 23:27
  was
• 23:27
  tired.
• 23:28
  So
• 23:28
  Will
• 23:29
  Smith
• 23:29
  decided
• 23:29
  to
• 23:30
  lighten
• 23:30
  the
• 23:30
  mood
• 23:31
  by
• 23:31
  singing
• 23:31
  Miami.
• 23:32
  And
• 23:32
  apparently
• 23:33
  everyone
• 23:33
  loved
• 23:34
  it.
• 23:34
  While
• 23:35
  most
• 23:35
  New
• 23:35
  Yorkers
• 23:36
  were
• 23:36
  respectful
• 23:36
  and
• 23:37
  opened
• 23:37
  their
• 23:37
  city
• 23:38
  to
• 23:38
  the
• 23:38
  production
• 23:38
  graciously,
• 23:40
  Will
• 23:40
  Smith
• 23:40
  would
• 23:40
  say
• 23:41
  that
• 23:41
  he
• 23:41
  was
• 23:41
  a
• 23:41
  controversial
• 23:42
  figure
• 23:42
  for
• 23:42
  some
• 23:43
  New

  being

  redesigned

  the

  got

  those

  But
• 24:17
  if

  we're

  going

  to

  this

  we

  need
• 24:20
  to
• 24:20
  talk
• 24:20
  about

  the

• 24:28
  Francis
• 24:28
  Lawrence
• 24:29
  originally
• 24:29
  envisioned
• 24:30
  the

  actors

  playing
• 24:31
  the

  Dark

  in
• 24:34
  prosthetics
• 24:35
  the
• 24:35
  creatures
• 24:36
  would

  be

  nocturnal

  with

  spiked

  metabolisms

  Casting

  Kathleen

  Chopin
• 24:43
  sourced
• 24:44
  a

  combination
• 24:44
  of
• 24:45
  modern
• 24:45
  dancers,
• 24:46
  stunt
• 24:46
  people,
• 24:47
  parkour
• 24:48
  performers
• 24:48
  and
• 24:48
  acrobats,
• 24:49
  as
• 24:50
  the
• 24:50
  Dark
• 24:51
  Seekers
• 24:51
  called
• 24:52
  the
• 24:52
  Infected.
• 24:53
  In
• 24:53
  the
• 24:53
  script,
• 24:54
  they
• 24:54
  had
• 24:54
  to
• 24:54
  be
• 24:55
  between
• 24:55
  5,
• 24:55
  10
• 24:56
  and

  1
• 24:57
  and
• 24:57
  under
• 24:57
  190
• 24:58
  pounds.
• 24:59
  The
• 24:59
  original
• 25:00
  idea
• 25:00
  was
• 25:00
  that
• 25:00
  these
• 25:01
  people
• 25:01
  would
• 25:01
  be
• 25:02
  of
• 25:02
  a
• 25:02
  hive
• 25:02
  mind,
• 25:03
  like
• 25:03
  ants
• 25:04
  or
• 25:04
  birds.
• 25:05
  All
• 25:05
  of
• 25:06
  the
• 25:06
  actors
• 25:06
  playing
• 25:06
  the
• 25:07
  Infected
• 25:07
  would
• 25:08
  be
• 25:08
  shaved
• 25:09
  top
• 25:09
  to
• 25:09
  bottom.
• 25:09
  And
• 25:10
  originally
• 25:10
  the
• 25:10
  plan
• 25:11
  was
• 25:11
  for
• 25:11
  them
• 25:11
  to
• 25:11
  be
• 25:12
  completely
• 25:12
  naked,
• 25:13
  but
• 25:13
  the
• 25:14
  studio
• 25:14
  refused
• 25:14
  to
• 25:15
  allow
• 25:15
  that.
• 25:16
  They
• 25:16
  were.
• 25:16
  Removable
• 25:17
  body
• 25:17
  hair,
• 25:18
  though,
• 25:18
  including
• 25:19
  on
• 25:19
  their
• 25:19
  heads,
• 25:19
  which
• 25:20
  for
• 25:20
  the
• 25:20
  dancers
• 25:21
  was
• 25:21
  especially
• 25:21
  traumatic
• 25:22
  to
• 25:22
  have
• 25:22
  their
• 25:22
  heads
• 25:23
  shaved.
• 25:24
  These
• 25:24
  people
• 25:24
  performed
• 25:25
  together
• 25:25
  for
• 25:26
  the
• 25:26
  producers,
• 25:27
  for
• 25:27
  Will
• 25:27
  Smith
• 25:28
  and
• 25:28
  Francis
• 25:28
  Lawrence,
• 25:29
  and
• 25:29
  their
• 25:30
  performance
• 25:30
  terrified
• 25:31
  everyone.
• 25:32
  They
• 25:32
  genuinely
• 25:33
  looked
• 25:33
  the
• 25:33
  part
• 25:34
  with
• 25:34
  their
• 25:35
  physical
• 25:35
  performance
• 25:36
  and
• 25:36
  wearing
• 25:36
  these
• 25:37
  prosthetics.
• 25:38
  Their
• 25:39
  first
• 25:39
  shoot
• 25:39
  was
• 25:39
  the
• 25:40
  scene
• 25:40
  where
• 25:40
  the
• 25:40
  Dark
• 25:40
  Seekers
• 25:41
  run
• 25:41
  through
• 25:41
  Washington
• 25:42
  Square
• 25:42
  park
• 25:43
  and
• 25:43
  everyone
• 25:44
  thought
• 25:44
  it
• 25:44
  looked
• 25:45
  great,
• 25:46
  except
• 25:46
  for
• 25:46
  Francis
• 25:47
  Lawrence.
• 25:48
  He
• 25:48
  didn't
• 25:49
  find
• 25:49
  the
• 25:49
  performances
• 25:50
  by
• 25:50
  the
• 25:50
  actors
• 25:51
  convincing
• 25:51
  and
• 25:52
  a
• 25:52
  week
• 25:52
  into
• 25:52
  filming
• 25:53
  he
• 25:53
  made
• 25:54
  a
• 25:54
  change
• 25:54
  that
• 25:54
  would
• 25:55
  probably
• 25:55
  be
• 25:56
  the
• 25:56
  biggest
• 25:56
  change
• 25:57
  made
• 25:57
  to
• 25:57
  this
• 25:57
  movie,
• 25:58
  a
• 25:58
  change
• 25:58
  that
• 25:59
  would
• 25:59
  affect
• 25:59
  post
• 25:59
  production
• 26:00
  and
• 26:00
  the
• 26:01
  resulting
• 26:01
  critical
• 26:02
  success
• 26:02
  of
• 26:03
  the
• 26:03
  movie.
• 26:03
  He
• 26:04
  decided
• 26:04
  to
• 26:04
  make
• 26:05
  the
• 26:05
  creatures
• 26:05
  completely
• 26:06
  cgi
• 26:07
  but
• 26:07
  used
• 26:08
  the
• 26:08
  actors
• 26:08
  they
• 26:08
  had
• 26:09
  already
• 26:09
  hired,

  primarily

  Dash

  Mihok
• 26:11
  and
• 26:11
  Joanna

  the

  capture
• 26:14
  for
• 26:14
  the
• 26:14
  CG
• 26:15
  creatures.
• 26:15
  The

  CG

  was

  completed

  by

  Sony

• 26:20
  Many
• 26:20
  people
• 26:20
  in
• 26:20
  the
• 26:20
  production
• 26:21
  did
• 26:21
  believe
• 26:22
  the
• 26:22
  change
• 26:22
  lost
• 26:23
  some
• 26:23
  of
• 26:23
  the
• 26:23
  grace
• 26:24
  of
• 26:24
  hiring
• 26:25
  such
• 26:25
  talented

  dancers

  and

  used

  in

  pre

  planned

  shots,
• 26:37
  the

  team
• 26:38
  focused
• 26:38
  on

  developing

  a

  library

  of

  could

  turned

  into

  later

  The

• 26:48
  do
• 26:49
  occasionally
• 26:49
  like
• 26:50
  to
• 26:50
  mess
• 26:50
  with
• 26:50
  viewers
• 26:51
  though
• 26:51
  with
• 26:52
  the
• 26:52
  use
• 26:52
  of
• 26:52
  mimes
• 26:53
  if
• 26:54
  you
• 26:54
  thought
• 26:54
  the
• 26:54
  mannequin
• 26:55
  used
• 26:55
  to
• 26:55
  entrap
• 26:56
  Robert
• 26:56
  Neville
• 26:57
  on
• 26:57
  the
• 26:57
  street,
• 26:57
  his
• 26:58
  name
• 26:58
  was
• 26:58
  Fred,
• 26:58
  by
• 26:59
  the
• 26:59
  way.
• 26:59
  If
• 27:00
  you
• 27:00
  thought
• 27:00
  Fred
• 27:01
  moved,
• 27:01
  you
• 27:02
  may
• 27:02
  have
• 27:02
  thought
• 27:02
  your
• 27:03
  eyes
• 27:03
  were
• 27:03
  playing
• 27:03
  tricks
• 27:04
  on
• 27:04
  you.
• 27:05
  However,
• 27:06
  Fred
• 27:06
  was
• 27:07
  played
• 27:07
  in
• 27:07
  the
• 27:08
  scene
• 27:08
  by
• 27:08
  a

• 27:09
  who
• 27:09
  was

  instructed
• 27:10
  to
• 27:11
  move
• 27:11
  ever
• 27:11
  so
• 27:12
  slightly
• 27:13
  to
• 27:13
  show
• 27:13
  Neville's
• 27:14
  deteriorating
• 27:15
  mental
• 27:15
  state,
• 27:16
  but
• 27:16
  also
• 27:16
  put
• 27:17
  the
• 27:17
  viewer
• 27:17
  on
• 27:17
  edge.
• 27:18
  If
• 27:18
  you
• 27:19
  go
• 27:19
  on
• 27:19
  YouTube
• 27:19
  and
• 27:20
  search
• 27:20
  for
• 27:20
  that
• 27:21
  particular
• 27:21
  scene
• 27:22
  in
• 27:22
  I
• 27:22
  Am
• 27:22
  Legend
• 27:23
  with
• 27:23
  Fred,
• 27:24
  you
• 27:24
  will
• 27:25
  see
• 27:25
  he
• 27:25
  does
• 27:26
  move
• 27:26
  and
• 27:26
  it
• 27:27
  is
• 27:27
  genuinely
• 27:28
  terrifying
• 27:29
  to
• 27:29
  see
• 27:30
  what
• 27:30
  you
• 27:30
  think
• 27:30
  is
• 27:30
  a
• 27:30
  mannequin
• 27:31
  moving
• 27:33
  but
• 27:33
  segueing
• 27:34
  to
• 27:34
  something
• 27:34
  not
• 27:35
  at
• 27:35
  all
• 27:35
  terrifying.
• 27:36
  It
• 27:36
  is
• 27:37
  time
• 27:37
  for
• 27:37
  the
• 27:37
  obligatory
• 27:37
  Keanu
• 27:38
  reference
• 27:38
  of
• 27:39
  this
• 27:39
  episode,
• 27:40
  and
• 27:40
  if
• 27:40
  you
• 27:40
  don't
• 27:40
  know
• 27:40
  what
• 27:41
  that
• 27:41
  is,
• 27:41
  it's
• 27:41
  where
• 27:41
  I
• 27:41
  try
• 27:41
  and
• 27:42
  link
• 27:42
  every
• 27:42
  movie
• 27:42
  that
• 27:42
  I
• 27:43
  feature
• 27:43
  with
• 27:43
  Keanu
• 27:44
  Reeves
• 27:44
  for
• 27:44
  no
• 27:45
  reason
• 27:45
  other
• 27:45
  than
• 27:46
  he
• 27:46
  is
• 27:46
  genuinely
• 27:47
  the
• 27:47
  best
• 27:47
  of
• 27:47
  all
• 27:48
  men.
• 27:49
  And
• 27:49
  this
• 27:49
  is
• 27:49
  a
• 27:49
  really
• 27:50
  easy
• 27:50
  one.
• 27:50
  Surprisingly
• 27:51
  easy,
• 27:52
  because
• 27:52
  as
• 27:52
  I've
• 27:52
  already
• 27:53
  mentioned,
• 27:53
  Francis
• 27:54
  Lawrence
• 27:55
  directed
• 27:55
  this
• 27:55
  movie.
• 27:56
  Francis
• 27:57
  Lawrence
• 27:57
  also
• 27:57
  directed
• 27:58
  Constantine,
• 27:59
  which
• 27:59
  is
• 27:59
  a
• 27:59
  very
• 27:59
  underrated
• 28:00
  movie
• 28:01
  just
• 28:01
  in
• 28:01
  general,
• 28:01
  but
• 28:02
  also
• 28:02
  a

  very
• 28:03
  underrated

  Keanu
• 28:04
  Reeves
• 28:04
  movie.
• 28:05
  I
• 28:05
  have
• 28:06
  done
• 28:06
  an
• 28:06
  episode
• 28:06
  on

  Constantine.
• 28:07
  It

  is

  a

  very
• 28:08
  old

  episode

  now,
• 28:09
  but
• 28:09
  I
• 28:09
  really
• 28:10
  love
• 28:10
  that
• 28:10
  movie
• 28:10
  and
• 28:11
  I
• 28:11
  think
• 28:11
  Keanu
• 28:11
  Reeves
• 28:12
  is
• 28:12
  great
• 28:12
  in

  it,
• 28:12
  as
• 28:12
  he

  is

  most

  his

  movies.
• 28:14
  Not
• 28:14
  that
• 28:15
  I'm
• 28:15
  biased,
• 28:16
  but
• 28:16
  that

  is

  Interestingly,

  this

  It

  in

  this

  by

• 33:56
  Apart

  from

  the

  he

  the

  mental

  anguish
• 34:00
  of
• 34:00
  being

  the

  last

  man

  on

  earth
• 34:02
  and
• 34:03
  his
• 34:03
  downfall
• 34:04
  is
• 34:04
  heartbreaking,
• 34:05
  but
• 34:05
  also
• 34:05
  the

  downfall

  of

  his

• 34:10
  Smith
• 34:11
  carries

  this

  it

  is

  one
• 34:12
  of

  his

  best

  performances.
• 34:14
  As

  much

  as
• 34:15
  I

  love

  Arnie,
• 34:16
  I
• 34:16
  don't
• 34:17
  quite
• 34:17
  think
• 34:17
  he
• 34:17
  could
• 34:17
  have
• 34:18
  done
• 34:18
  this,

  but
• 34:20
  I
• 34:20
  think
• 34:20
  we
• 34:20
  can
• 34:20
  all
• 34:21
  agree
• 34:21
  the
• 34:21
  theatrical
• 34:22
  ending
• 34:22
  is
• 34:23
  the
• 34:23
  rum
• 34:23
  ending.
• 34:24
  For
• 34:24
  one.
• 34:25
  How
• 34:25
  does
• 34:25
  it
• 34:25
  lead
• 34:25
  to
• 34:26
  Robert
• 34:26
  Neville
• 34:26
  becoming

  the
• 34:27
  legend
• 34:28
  implied
• 34:28
  by
• 34:28
  the
• 34:29
  title?
• 34:30
  In
• 34:30
  the
• 34:30
  book
• 34:30
  he
• 34:31
  becomes
• 34:31
  a
• 34:31
  legend
• 34:32
  because
• 34:32
  his
• 34:32
  death
• 34:32
  meant
• 34:33
  the
• 34:33
  end
• 34:33
  of
• 34:33
  the
• 34:34
  human
• 34:34
  race,
• 34:34
  but
• 34:35
  this
• 34:35
  isn't
• 34:35
  true
• 34:36
  in
• 34:36
  either
• 34:36
  ending
• 34:37
  of

  the

  In

  one,

  Neville

  dies,

  but

  the

  survives.

  And

  in

  the

  and

  I

  The

  whether

  that

  Robert

  Morgan
• 34:51
  or

  Robert

  Neville,
• 34:52
  is

  on

  a

  for

  a

  a

• 34:55
  he
• 34:55
  himself
• 34:56
  is
• 34:56
  immune
• 34:57
  to,
• 34:57
  which
• 34:57
  suggests
• 34:58
  that
• 34:58
  these

  creatures
• 35:00
  need
• 35:00
  to
• 35:00
  be

  cured

  or

  want

  to

  be

  cured,
• 35:03
  but

  they

  don't.
• 35:04
  And

  who

  decides

  whether

  these

  are

  be

  cured
• 35:07
  or
• 35:08
  not?
• 35:09
  He
• 35:09
  sees
• 35:09
  them
• 35:09
  as
• 35:10
  a
• 35:10
  disability
• 35:10
  to
• 35:11
  be

  rectified,

  not

  beings

  capable
• 35:13
  of
• 35:13
  their
• 35:14
  own
• 35:14
  thoughts
• 35:14
  and
• 35:14
  emotions.
• 35:15
  Because
• 35:16
  human
• 35:16
  beings
• 35:17
  are
• 35:17
  arrogant
• 35:17
  enough
• 35:18
  to
• 35:18
  believe
• 35:19
  they

  are

  the

  best
• 35:19
  of

  all

  creatures.
• 35:22
  The

  fact
• 35:22
  these

  creatures
• 35:23
  set
• 35:23
  a

  trap
• 35:24
  for

  him
• 35:24
  after

  he

  set

  a

  for

  one

  of

  should

  have
• 35:27
  told
• 35:28
  Robert
• 35:28
  Neville
• 35:28
  they
• 35:29
  were

  smart

  and

  capable.
• 35:30
  But
• 35:31
  somehow,
• 35:31
  despite
• 35:32
  him
• 35:32
  being
• 35:32
  one
• 35:33
  of

  the

  best
• 35:33
  scientists
• 35:34
  in

  the

  he

  never

  wants

  twigs.
• 35:37
  Hollywood

  has
• 35:38
  always

  othered

  everything

  else.
• 35:40
  The

  human
• 35:41
  protagonists
• 35:41
  are
• 35:42
  always
• 35:42
  right,

  and

  the

  monsters

  can

  never

  be

  the

• 35:46
  is
• 35:46
  one
• 35:46
  of
• 35:46
  the

  reasons
• 35:46
  why
• 35:47
  I

  find

  the

• 35:48
  so

  because

  in

  many

  the

  are

  the

  heroes.
• 35:53
  Imagine

  what

  he

  have

  done

  with

  this

• 35:57
  It's

  of

• 35:58
  wish
• 35:59
  we
• 35:59
  could
• 35:59
  have
• 35:59
  seen,
• 36:00
  like
• 36:00
  his
• 36:00
  Hobbit
• 36:01
  movies,
• 36:01
  for
• 36:01
  example.
• 36:03
  Whether
• 36:04
  these
• 36:04
  creatures
• 36:04
  are
• 36:05
  vampires
• 36:05
  or
• 36:05
  zombies
• 36:06
  remains
• 36:07
  up
• 36:07
  for
• 36:07
  debate.
• 36:08
  But
• 36:08
  while
• 36:08
  we
• 36:08
  see
• 36:09
  Neville's
• 36:09
  fear
• 36:09
  of
• 36:10
  these
• 36:10
  creatures
• 36:11
  through
• 36:11
  his
• 36:11
  interactions,
• 36:12
  when
• 36:12
  Sam
• 36:13
  runs
• 36:13
  into
• 36:13
  the
• 36:13
  dark
• 36:13
  building,
• 36:14
  they
• 36:14
  only
• 36:15
  attack
• 36:15
  him
• 36:16
  after
• 36:16
  he
• 36:16
  kidnaps
• 36:17
  their
• 36:17
  own.
• 36:18
  And
• 36:18
  as
• 36:18
  we
• 36:18
  find
• 36:19
  out,
• 36:19
  she's
• 36:20
  the
• 36:20
  latest
• 36:20
  in
• 36:21
  a
• 36:21
  long
• 36:21
  line
• 36:21
  of
• 36:21
  creatures
• 36:22
  Neville
• 36:22
  has
• 36:23
  killed
• 36:23
  in
• 36:23
  the
• 36:23
  pursuit
• 36:24
  of
• 36:24
  a
• 36:24
  cure.
• 36:25
  A
• 36:25
  cure
• 36:26
  these
• 36:26
  creatures
• 36:26
  never
• 36:27
  wanted
• 36:27
  or
• 36:27
  asked
• 36:28
  for,
• 36:28
  that
• 36:28
  he
• 36:29
  believes
• 36:29
  is
• 36:30
  the
• 36:30
  best
• 36:30
  thing
• 36:30
  for
• 36:31
  them.
• 36:31
  This
• 36:32
  movie
• 36:32
  excels
• 36:33
  at
• 36:33
  quiet
• 36:33
  reflection,
• 36:34
  the
• 36:34
  screaming
• 36:35
  solitude,
• 36:36
  but
• 36:36
  it
• 36:36
  fails
• 36:37
  to
• 36:37
  show
• 36:37
  Neville's
• 36:38
  level
• 36:38
  of
• 36:38
  hubris
• 36:39
  and
• 36:39
  privilege,
• 36:40
  and
• 36:40
  the
• 36:40
  theatrical
• 36:41
  ending
• 36:41
  just
• 36:41
  takes
• 36:42
  away
• 36:42
  from
• 36:42
  everything
• 36:43
  he
• 36:43
  could
• 36:43
  have
• 36:43
  possibly
• 36:44
  learned
• 36:44
  or
• 36:45
  recognized
• 36:46
  to
• 36:46
  make
• 36:46
  him
• 36:47
  the
• 36:47
  typical
• 36:47
  Hollywood
• 36:48
  hero.
• 36:49
  In
• 36:49
  many
• 36:49
  ways,
• 36:50
  the
• 36:50
  inclusion
• 36:51
  of
• 36:51
  the
• 36:51
  movie
• 36:51
  Shrek
• 36:52
  is
• 36:52
  interesting
• 36:53
  because
• 36:53
  Shrek
• 36:54
  is
• 36:54
  the
• 36:54
  othered
• 36:55
  character,
• 36:56
  the
• 36:56
  one
• 36:56
  people
• 36:57
  fear
• 36:57
  and
• 36:57
  want
• 36:58
  to
• 36:58
  get
• 36:58
  rid
• 36:58
  of.
• 36:59
  He
• 36:59
  is
• 36:59
  the
• 36:59
  creature
• 37:00
  in
• 37:00
  his
• 37:01
  own
• 37:01
  movie.
• 37:02
  The
• 37:02
  themes
• 37:02
  of
• 37:03
  a
• 37:03
  global
• 37:03
  pandemic
• 37:04
  just
• 37:04
  hit
• 37:04
  differently
• 37:05
  in
• 37:05
  2025
• 37:07
  than
• 37:07
  they
• 37:07
  probably
• 37:07
  did
• 37:07
  in
• 37:08
  2007,
• 37:09
  now
• 37:09
  that
• 37:09
  we're
• 37:10
  five
• 37:10
  years
• 37:10
  on
• 37:11
  from
• 37:11
  an
• 37:11
  actual
• 37:12
  global
• 37:12
  pandemic
• 37:13
  that
• 37:13
  killed
• 37:14
  millions.
• 37:14
  And
• 37:15
  to
• 37:15
  this
• 37:15
  day
• 37:15
  people
• 37:16
  are
• 37:16
  still
• 37:16
  suffering
• 37:17
  the
• 37:17
  after
• 37:17
  effects,
• 37:18
  whether
• 37:19
  that's
• 37:19
  through
• 37:19
  long
• 37:19
  Covid
• 37:20
  economical
• 37:21
  status,
• 37:21
  through
• 37:22
  job
• 37:22
  loss,
• 37:23
  or
• 37:23
  through
• 37:23
  their
• 37:24
  own
• 37:24
  grief
• 37:24
  and
• 37:24
  trauma.
• 37:25
  The
• 37:26
  scenes
• 37:26
  of
• 37:26
  empty
• 37:27
  New
• 37:27
  York
• 37:27
  are
• 37:27
  eerie.
• 37:28
  The
• 37:29
  CG
• 37:29
  animals
• 37:29
  look
• 37:30
  decent
• 37:30
  enough,
• 37:31
  but
• 37:31
  the
• 37:31
  CG
• 37:32
  creatures
• 37:32
  just
• 37:33
  unfortunately
• 37:34
  don't
• 37:34
  don't
• 37:34
  look
• 37:34
  great
• 37:35
  and
• 37:35
  the
• 37:36
  chances
• 37:36
  are
• 37:36
  this
• 37:36
  was
• 37:37
  simply
• 37:37
  down
• 37:37
  to
• 37:37
  the
• 37:37
  amount
• 37:38
  of
• 37:38
  time
• 37:38
  left
• 37:38
  to
• 37:39
  the
• 37:39
  effects
• 37:39
  teams
• 37:40
  and
• 37:40
  this
• 37:41
  is
• 37:41
  something
• 37:41
  that
• 37:41
  we
• 37:42
  know
• 37:42
  Hollywood
• 37:43
  is
• 37:43
  terrible
• 37:43
  at
• 37:43
  these
• 37:44
  days.
• 37:44
  Chances
• 37:45
  are
• 37:45
  it
• 37:45
  was
• 37:45
  also
• 37:46
  still
• 37:46
  as
• 37:46
  terrible
• 37:47
  back
• 37:47
  then.
• 37:48
  Richard
• 37:49
  Mattison
• 37:49
  died
• 37:50
  in
• 37:50
  2013
• 37:51
  and
• 37:51
  he
• 37:51
  always
• 37:51
  viewed
• 37:52
  I
• 37:52
  Am
• 37:52
  Legend
• 37:53
  as
• 37:53
  a
• 37:53
  story
• 37:53
  of
• 37:54
  survival
• 37:54
  and
• 37:55
  a
• 37:55
  scientific
• 37:56
  explanation
• 37:56
  of
• 37:56
  vampires.
• 37:58
  He
• 37:58
  was
• 37:58
  critical
• 37:59
  of
• 37:59
  the
• 37:59
  scientific
• 37:59
  metaphors
• 38:00
  attached
• 38:00
  to
• 38:01
  the
• 38:01
  meaning
• 38:01
  of
• 38:01
  the
• 38:01
  story,
• 38:02
  that
• 38:02
  interpreting
• 38:03
  it
• 38:03
  beyond
• 38:04
  the
• 38:04
  surface
• 38:04
  level
• 38:04
  was
• 38:05
  a
• 38:05
  mistake.
• 38:06
  His
• 38:06
  book
• 38:07
  never
• 38:07
  had
• 38:07
  a
• 38:07
  cure
• 38:08
  or
• 38:08
  a
• 38:09
  hero
• 38:09
  savior.
• 38:10
  It's
• 38:10
  just
• 38:11
  about
• 38:11
  the
• 38:11
  end
• 38:11
  of
• 38:12
  a
• 38:12
  single
• 38:12
  man's
• 38:13
  story
• 38:13
  that
• 38:14
  was
• 38:14
  the
• 38:14
  end
• 38:14
  of
• 38:14
  humanity
• 38:15
  as
• 38:15
  he
• 38:15
  knew
• 38:16
  its
• 38:16
  story.
• 38:17
  It's
• 38:18
  unsurprising
• 38:18
  that
• 38:19
  Matheson
• 38:19
  didn't
• 38:19
  care
• 38:20
  too
• 38:20
  much
• 38:20
  for
• 38:20
  this
• 38:21
  adaptation
• 38:21
  either.
• 38:23
  I
• 38:23
  think
• 38:23
  this
• 38:24
  is
• 38:24
  a
• 38:24
  movie
• 38:24
  with
• 38:24
  so
• 38:25
  much
• 38:25
  promise
• 38:25
  that
• 38:26
  delivers
• 38:27
  so
• 38:27
  much
• 38:27
  in
• 38:27
  its
• 38:28
  first
• 38:28
  half
• 38:29
  and
• 38:29
  then
• 38:29
  just
• 38:29
  quickly
• 38:29
  seems
• 38:30
  to
• 38:30
  race
• 38:30
  to
• 38:30
  an
• 38:31
  unsatisfactory
• 38:32
  ending.
• 38:32
  The
• 38:33
  scenes
• 38:33
  between
• 38:33
  Neville
• 38:34
  and
• 38:34
  Sam
• 38:34
  are
• 38:35
  just
• 38:35
  superb.
• 38:36
  The
• 38:36
  general
• 38:36
  atmosphere
• 38:37
  and
• 38:37
  sense
• 38:38
  of
• 38:38
  unease
• 38:38
  at
• 38:39
  the
• 38:39
  potential
• 38:39
  of
• 38:39
  these
• 38:39
  creatures
• 38:40
  is
• 38:41
  better
• 38:41
  than
• 38:41
  the
• 38:41
  reveal
• 38:42
  of
• 38:42
  them.
• 38:43
  The
• 38:43
  man
• 38:43
  and
• 38:44
  his
• 38:44
  dog
• 38:44
  at
• 38:44
  the
• 38:45
  end
• 38:45
  of
• 38:45
  the
• 38:45
  world
• 38:45
  is
• 38:46
  the
• 38:46
  best
• 38:46
  part.
• 38:47
  The
• 38:47
  fact
• 38:48
  the
• 38:48
  death
• 38:48
  of
• 38:48
  a
• 38:48
  dog
• 38:49
  hits
• 38:49
  harder
• 38:49
  than
• 38:49
  the
• 38:50
  death
• 38:50
  of
• 38:50
  Neville's
• 38:51
  wife
• 38:51
  and
• 38:51
  child
• 38:52
  really
• 38:52
  tells
• 38:53
  you
• 38:53
  everything
• 38:53
  about
• 38:53
  where
• 38:54
  this
• 38:54
  movie's
• 38:54
  heart
• 38:54
  and
• 38:55
  soul
• 38:55
  really
• 38:55
  is.
• 38:57
  While
• 38:57
  it's
• 38:57
  great
• 38:58
  that
• 38:58
  Neville
• 38:58
  gets
• 38:59
  human
• 38:59
  companions
• 39:00
  eventually,
• 39:01
  they
• 39:01
  come
• 39:01
  so
• 39:01
  close
• 39:02
  to
• 39:02
  the
• 39:02
  end
• 39:03
  that
• 39:03
  we
• 39:03
  don't
• 39:03
  really
• 39:03
  get
• 39:04
  to
• 39:04
  know
• 39:04
  them
• 39:05
  other
• 39:05
  than
• 39:05
  they
• 39:05
  eat
• 39:06
  his
• 39:06
  good
• 39:06
  bacon.
• 39:07
  Side
• 39:08
  note,
• 39:08
  I
• 39:09
  don't
• 39:09
  think
• 39:09
  bacon
• 39:09
  lasts
• 39:10
  three
• 39:10
  years
• 39:11
  unless
• 39:11
  Robert
• 39:12
  Neville
• 39:12
  raised
• 39:13
  and
• 39:13
  butchered
• 39:13
  his
• 39:14
  own
• 39:14
  pigs.
• 39:15
  But
• 39:16
  throughout
• 39:16
  the
• 39:17
  movie,
• 39:17
  Neville
• 39:18
  comments
• 39:18
  on
• 39:18
  his
• 39:19
  findings
• 39:19
  on
• 39:19
  the
• 39:19
  creatures,
• 39:20
  commenting
• 39:21
  on
• 39:21
  the
• 39:21
  fact
• 39:21
  that
• 39:21
  typical
• 39:22
  human
• 39:22
  behaviour
• 39:23
  is
• 39:23
  now
• 39:23
  absent
• 39:24
  and
• 39:24
  social
• 39:25
  devolution
• 39:26
  appears
• 39:26
  complete,
• 39:27
  that
• 39:28
  they
• 39:28
  have
• 39:28
  become
• 39:28
  truly
• 39:29
  monstrous.
• 39:30
  He
• 39:31
  could
• 39:31
  be
• 39:31
  talking
• 39:31
  about
• 39:31
  creatures,
• 39:33
  or
• 39:33
  he
• 39:33
  could
• 39:33
  be
• 39:34
  talking
• 39:34
  about
• 39:34
  himself
• 39:35
  and
• 39:35
  humanity
• 39:36
  in
• 39:36
  general.
• 39:37
  The
• 39:37
  same
• 39:37
  humanity
• 39:38
  who
• 39:38
  takes
• 39:38
  great
• 39:39
  pains
• 39:39
  to
• 39:39
  never
• 39:39
  learn
• 39:40
  from
• 39:40
  history
• 39:41
  and
• 39:41
  repeat
• 39:42
  destructive
• 39:42
  behavior.
• 39:44
  Scientists
• 39:45
  still
• 39:45
  tamper
• 39:45
  with
• 39:45
  the
• 39:46
  laws
• 39:46
  of
• 39:46
  nature
• 39:46
  and
• 39:46
  play
• 39:47
  God.
• 39:48
  We
• 39:48
  still
• 39:48
  create
• 39:49
  bigger
• 39:49
  and
• 39:49
  better
• 39:50

  Genetic

  research

  has
• 39:52
  reached
• 39:52
  a
• 39:52
  point
• 39:53
  where
• 39:53
  we
• 39:53
  can
• 39:53
  select

  embryos

  certain

  and
• 39:57
  hereditary

  conditions.
• 39:59
  You
• 39:59
  could
• 39:59
  see
• 40:00
  that
• 40:00
  as
• 40:00
  a
• 40:00
  great
• 40:00
  thing
• 40:01
  for
• 40:01
  science,
• 40:02
  but
• 40:02
  you
• 40:02
  could
• 40:02
  also
• 40:02
  see
• 40:03
  that

  as

  a

  stepping

  The

  goes

  on.
• 40:12
  Humanity
• 40:13
  does
• 40:13
  great
• 40:13
  things,
• 40:14
  but
• 40:14
  it
• 40:14
  also
• 40:14
  does
• 40:15
  selfish
• 40:15
  things.
• 40:16
  Death
• 40:16
  is
• 40:17
  inevitable,
• 40:18
  but
• 40:18
  creatures
• 40:18
  like
• 40:19
  these
• 40:19
  are
• 40:19
  death
• 40:20
  coming
• 40:20
  back
• 40:20
  to
• 40:20
  haunt
• 40:21
  us,
• 40:21
  and
• 40:21
  that's
• 40:22
  why
• 40:22
  they
• 40:22
  frighten
• 40:23
  us.

  Going

  I've

• 40:30
  It's

  not
• 40:31
  death
• 40:31
  that's
• 40:32
  scary,
• 40:33
  it's

  obviously

  Night

  a
• 41:23
  seminal
• 41:24
  zombie
• 41:25
  classic
• 41:25
  and
• 41:25
  it
• 41:26
  was
• 41:26
  such
• 41:26
  an
• 41:26
  interesting
• 41:27
  episode
• 41:27
  to

  and
• 41:28
  such
• 41:29
  a
• 41:29
  truly
• 41:30
  wonderful
• 41:30
  movie
• 41:30
  to

  As

  Let

  if

  you
• 41:36
  watch
• 41:37
  that
• 41:37
  movie.
• 41:37
  And
• 41:37
  if
• 41:38
  you
• 41:38
  listen
• 41:38
  to
• 41:38
  the
• 41:38
  episode,
• 41:39
  I

  would

  love

  to

  hear

  you.
• 41:41
  So
• 41:41
  the
• 41:41
  next
• 41:41
  episode
• 41:43
  Just
• 41:43
  because
• 41:43
  someone
• 41:44
  likes
• 41:44
  the

  same
• 41:44
  bizarro
• 41:45
  crap
• 41:45
  you
• 41:46
  do
• 41:46
  doesn't
• 41:47
  mean
• 41:47
  they're
• 41:47
  your

  soulmate.
• 41:49
  500
• 41:50
  days
• 41:50
  of
• 41:50
  summer
• 41:50
  was
• 41:51
  a
• 41:51
  romantic
• 41:51
  comedy
• 41:52
  that
• 41:52
  was
• 41:52
  really
• 41:52
  neither
• 41:53
  of
• 41:53
  those
• 41:53
  things.
• 41:54
  And
• 41:54
  yet
• 41:55
  it
• 41:55
  seems
• 41:55
  to
• 41:55
  summarize
• 41:56
  dating
• 41:57
  in
• 41:57
  a
• 41:57
  way
• 41:58
  that
• 41:58
  most
• 41:58
  movies
• 41:59
  just
• 41:59
  don't.
• 42:00
  That
• 42:00
  maybe
• 42:01
  these
• 42:01
  are
• 42:01
  two
• 42:01
  people
• 42:02
  who
• 42:02
  are
• 42:02
  not
• 42:03
  destined
• 42:03
  to
• 42:03
  be
• 42:04
  together.
• 42:05
  That
• 42:05
  you
• 42:05
  can
• 42:06
  be
• 42:06
  Mr.
• 42:06
  Right
• 42:07
  now,
• 42:07
  not
• 42:08
  Mr.
• 42:08
  Right.
• 42:09
  And
• 42:09
  maybe
• 42:09
  Summer
• 42:10
  Finn
• 42:10
  isn't
• 42:11
  the
• 42:11
  bad
• 42:11
  guy
• 42:11
  people
• 42:12
  think
• 42:12
  she
• 42:12
  is.
• 42:13
  That
• 42:14
  idealizing
• 42:15
  and
• 42:15
  romanticizing
• 42:16
  and
• 42:16
  projecting
• 42:18
  your
• 42:18
  wants
• 42:18
  and
• 42:18
  desires
• 42:19
  onto
• 42:19
  anyone
• 42:20
  up
• 42:20
  front
• 42:21
  isn't
• 42:21
  the
• 42:21
  right
• 42:22
  way
• 42:22
  to
• 42:22
  be
• 42:22
  with
• 42:22
  someone.
• 42:24
  Next
• 42:24
  episode
• 42:25
  on
• 42:25
  this
• 42:25
  podcast.
• 42:26
  It
• 42:26
  is
• 42:26
  the
• 42:27
  history
• 42:27
  and
• 42:27
  legacy
• 42:28
  of

  500
• 42:29
  Days
• 42:30
  of
• 42:30
  Summer
• 42:31
  in
• 42:31
  winter.
• 42:32
  And
• 42:32
  yes,
• 42:33
  the
• 42:33
  irony
• 42:34
  of
• 42:35
  bringing
• 42:35
  out
• 42:35
  a
• 42:35
  podcast
• 42:36
  episode
• 42:36
  that
• 42:36
  specifically
• 42:37
  says
• 42:37
  the
• 42:37
  word
• 42:37
  summer
• 42:38
  in
• 42:38
  the
• 42:38
  title.
• 42:39
  But
• 42:39
  in
• 42:39
  winter.
• 42:40
  I
• 42:40
  get
• 42:41
  it.
• 42:41
  But
• 42:41
  I
• 42:41
  just
• 42:42
  really
• 42:42
  wanted
• 42:42
  to
• 42:42
  finally
• 42:43
  cover
• 42:43
  this
• 42:43
  movie.
• 42:44
  I
• 42:44
  hope
• 42:45
  you
• 42:45
  will
• 42:45
  join
• 42:45
  me
• 42:45
  next
• 42:45
  episode
• 42:46
  for

  500
• 42:47
  Days
• 42:47
  of
• 42:47
  Summer.
• 42:48
  And
• 42:49
  if
• 42:49
  you
• 42:49
  enjoy
• 42:49
  what
• 42:50
  I
• 42:50
  do
• 42:50
  for
• 42:50
  this
• 42:50
  podcast
• 42:51
  and
• 42:51
  you
• 42:51
  want

  to

  an

  podcaster
• 42:53
  who
• 42:53
  does
• 42:54
  all
• 42:54
  of
• 42:54
  this
• 42:54
  on
• 42:55
  her
• 42:55
  own.
• 42:55
  Zero
• 42:56
  help
• 42:56
  from
• 42:57
  anyone.
• 42:58
  It
• 42:58
  probably
• 42:58
  sounds
• 42:59
  like
• 42:59
  that.
• 42:59
  Zero
• 42:59
  help
• 43:00
  from
• 43:00
  anyone.
• 43:00
  But
• 43:01
  genuinely,

  I

  do

  So

  if

  you

  have
• 43:06
  some
• 43:06
  spare
