I Am Legend is an upcoming 2007 American post-apocalyptic science fiction horror film directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Will Smith. It is the adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 novel I Am Legend. Smith plays Robert Neville. It is scheduled to be released December 14, 2007.

A man-made virus wipes out the population of New York City in 2009, leaving virologist Robert Neville (Will Smith) the last human survivor in the city and possibly the world. Neville lives alone for three years, attempting to contact and find other possible survivors. He is watched by nocturnal mutant victims of the plague. Neville was the indirect cause of the fall of man: his government-funded research helped spread the virus, and he now works to redeem himself for this folly. Naturally immune, Neville realizes that two percent of the human race must also be immune. Nevertheless, many of them were killed by the infected, who became cannibalistic. Neville finds himself outnumbered by the infected and running out of time.

The rest of the supporting cast consists of Salli Richardson as Ginny, Robert's wife, and Alice Braga as a character named Anna. Willow Smith, Will Smith's daughter, makes her film debut as Marley, Neville's daughter.
