The poster seems like a step in the right direction I guess … I just hope this flick have the same fate as the Texas Chainsaw Massacre remake. Visually very cool, but ultimately disappointing execution.
With recent flicks like Teeth, I think horror movies are all set to return to classic 70’s / 80’s cultish form. Let’s all hope Jason follows in their steps!
UPDATE
Well, Damn as soon as I posted the poster (see what I did there?) I found this! This trailer looks cool as hell… But so did the TCM trailer (which was also produced by Michael Bay). The trailer is super jenk shaky cam… but it will do for now.
As I’ve said many of times before I am a Huge Tim Burton fan. I have seen just about everything he has done, and can honestly say have loved them all (maybe with the exception of Planet of the Apes, which was just ok). Over the years Burton has amassed a very stellar resume of work, spanning many different genres of film with the exception of the Musical (not counting Charlie and The Chocolate Factory, which is not purely a musical though it does have musical numbers in it). For his first foray into making a filmed musical Burton turned to one of his all-time favorites: Stephen Sondheim’s Tony Award Winning Broadway Musical Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street. Now I will be the first to admit I’ve never been a fan of musicals, in fact my first exposure to this particular story was in Kevin Smith’s Jersey Girl. But once I heard Tim Burton and Johnny Depp were doing a movie version, it went right on my must see list, even making it into the number two spot on my top 10 of 2007. Well now its spring time, and all those films that were out last fall are making their way on to DVD and with a April 1st street date, Paramount Studios has kindly sent a copy of one of my favorite films of 2007 for an advanced review.

The prospect of what will happen after the end of man-kind is a subject that has been explored many of times. From literature (The Stand) to film & television (28 Days/Weeks Later, several Twilight Zone Episodes, The Omega Man, etc…). In 1954 author Richard Matheson wrote the Novel I Am Legend and presented a horrifying vision of the end of humanity where everyone with the exception of 1 man had been turned into Zombie-like Vampires , from that novel has spawned quite a few adaptations: The Last Man on Earth starring Vincent Price, The Omega Man starring Charlton Heston, and finally this past fall’s I Am Legend starring box office favorite Will Smith, but how does this version stack up to the other classic films based upon Matheson’s classic novel? Well read on!
