Splash News has published the first pictures of Will Smith from the location shoot of the upcoming I Am Legend. The images show Smith as Robert Neville, the main character from the movie adapatation of Richard Mathesons apocalyptic novel, due for release next year. Recent reports and images now suggest that this new adaptation will take place in a contaminated New York, with the immune Doctor Neville attempting to find a cure for the disease that has turned the city into a no-go zone. In this sense it will be much closer in theme to the 1976 version, The Omega Man, which depicted Neville as a biological weapons researcher trying to produce a serum to cure the last few survivors of the plague.

According the the World Entertainment News Network, Russell Crowe has confirmed that the long rumored Gladiator sequel may yet go into production.
“We talk about it every now and then [with Ridley Scott],” said the Australian star. “We did kind of make it tricky for ourselves, considering we killed the character at the end of the first one. But that’s not necessarily going to stop us. There have been stranger things happen out of Hollywood… There’s a sort of ‘What happens in the after-life?’ question.”

I prefer Obama to McCain. Now, McCain’s better than average for a Republican. And though his ads are intellectually offensive, he’s just bowing to his campaign masters and would calm down and be more sane once in office and not campaigning. But I have a few concerns with McCain on foreign policy. He’s not a full-fledged Neocon. That’s good. He opposed Reagan on Lebanon. Good. He was critical of Bush’s initial strategy in Iraq. That’s good. But there’s a problem. He thinks the Vietnam war was winnable and that the US shouldn’t have withdrawn. He’s also eager to spread democracy with force. This just isn’t a good set of beliefs for inheriting Iraq.
