The legend of Richard Matheson returns to the cinema, after to have marked in indelebile way the modern kind of fantascienza and horror and to have been already object of two cinematographic adaptations from the alternate fortunes, but the difficult times that the America is facing today have determined a radical change in the approach to the history from part of the scripteriters.

Set aside the brave ones chosen of the author and pulled down the nichilismo that subtended all the vicissitude, in this version modernized to the new millenium of I I am legend, than rielabora the scenario of film 1975: Eyes white men on the planet Earth, are preferred to give voice to a hope of catholic matrix that could ribaltare the alarming apocalyptic forecasts on the risk of extinction of the human race that the history trace.

Absolute protagonist of this true and just one man movie is Will Smith, once again to the taken ones with a difficult role, that one of the last man on the earth, only survivor to a virus incurabile who has swept via the entire humanity. The Smith hero goes around itself in the desert of that he remains of New York, in the hope to find again traces of human life that they can give relief to the solitudine that is destroying and to discover it the cure that it recovers the monstrous creatures who hide themselves in the dusk.

Directed from Francis Lawrence and dramatized from Mark Protosevich and Akiva Goldsman, I am legend I arrive in Italy 11 fridays January in 513 copies, after extraordinary happening obtained the oltreoceano one, where the box has sbancato office with proceeds that have totaled, until this moment, beyond 230 million dollars single in the United States.

The Italian press conference for the presentation of the film is dominated, like could be imagined, from the istrionico Will Smith, enthusiastic of turns out to you end here obtained from the film, that it accompanies with uproarious urla of exultation the income in knows it of the Lawrence director and Goldsman author. Punctual, but, the questions from part of the journalists arrive on the little happy changes bring you to the vicissitude originate them in phase of scenario.

In the years it passes to you already we had had a pair of cinematographic transpositions of I I am legend. What was of therefore essential in this history to deserve of being still told?

Photo Handle Will Smith: That that I find truly special in this history is the fear concept that Matheson expresses in two different shapes. From a part there is the fear of the human being to find itself completely isolated: what would make we in one of the sort situation? From the other there is a primordiale fear of that he hides himself in the dusk and is ready makes us of the evil. Creed that Akiva Goldsman has made an incredible job in phase of scenario, because it has elaborated R-al.meglio these ideas, therefore as Lawrence has been shining in rendering them on the screen. Moreover, task that the special effects have been an enormous one adding regarding the previous versions of the film. Trent' years ago could not sure be filmare a New desert York, emptying of the roads, while today thanks to the digitalis them can be cancelled all the intrusioni, as it blots some to them that passed every so often, and nobody notice of null.

Francis Lawrence: What he is amazing it is that the novel, also being be written in years ' 50, has of the modern ideas much, like that one of the isolation, the living in an empty atmosphere and to try something to which being able itself to grab hold of every day in order to go ahead. These strong ideas are survivors to several generations and they have pushed to tell still this history to us because he is something that touches all gives to us near.

Akiva Goldsman: Creed that the idea to the base of the novel is several a enough common incubus in periods between various persons. Matheson has written an incredible history, but there are intentional approximately 15 years because she took shape to the cinema. We wanted to explore the travel of one person. Here not there is a bad one, a rather unusual fact for film of the sort, but there was the space for a film based on a single person and we have worked on that one, trying to create one risen of one man show silent.

Why you have preferred to head at a various end, opened to the hope, regarding that nichilista of the book?

Akiva Goldsman: In realizing this film we have drawn inspiration is from the book of the Mathesons who give its cinematographic version, 1975: Eyes white men on the planet Earth. Our film can be considered a mix of the two works: the beginning is the novel, then as is gone ahead comes developed the ideas of the film of Boris Sagal. The book has been written in a period enough negative, while in years ' 70, when that is the film has been turned, there was one perspective more hopeful. Today we find ourselves in a dark period, but we refuse to believe in the eventuality that the human race can be extinguished seriously and therefore we have preferred to marry a less catastrophic end.

Francis Lawrence: Our very precise choice has been be a matter of one. It interested to tell a history to us that it offered a hope, because for me, within of we, the lights regarding dark sides prevail by far.

Will Smith: In truth, creed that the idea of that it dies in order then to rinascere is not as well as a hope, how much a truth, because sooner or later there is always a rebirth, is this the truth.

You do not believe that this creazionista end, in which science it loses against the intelligent design of God, is a po' risked?

Francis Lawrence: One of the things that are piaciuta more in realizing this film has been the search on like the human beings fights in order to go ahead. In the film the hope of the protagonist is in science, while that one of Anna in the faith. To the end the two things are melted because it is right that it is therefore.

There are approaches you to the relationship between science and faith that the Fritjof physicist characterizes Goat, which the concept elaborates according to which science is from a part, the religion from the other. According to Goat the truth is a circle, science and faith are always run after and ended with the sovrapporsi. The subatomici physicists and the mystics understand the world truly only when they meet themselves and they are confronted.

Akiva Goldsman: We have made many searches for the film and the scientists who we have told have said us that the motor to the inside of the virus is often a mystery and a virologo a day has said to us that here, in the center, a lot fascinating is God E' this idea to find God in science.

Those good boys returned profit for the way in which the protagonist structure its exercises and therefore there are you amuse yourself to cite it. For that it regards Romero, task that many present things in its cinema are debitrici of the work of Matheson. Of the night of the living dead men there are many likenesses with I I am legend, like the scene in which the dead men they try to enter in the houses. We have intentional to use for these sick creatures who hide in buio a design that was based on the pathology that has hit them.
