Yeah but go to a random movie theater and ask some random movie goer if they have any clue what I am Legend is, who is in it, and when is it coming out, and I bet you get a lot of cluless people

yes it is a big budget flick, with a big budget actor, but I think if you break it down, at least at this point in the year, that is a lesser known movie than alot of movies, just my opinion


Jack Bauer also said Shoot em up! and that movie looks fantastic with Owen, and Giamatti
