While the I Am Legend movie stays true to some concepts of the original books, it brings some significant changes to its lore and character beats.

Although the I Am Legend movie is based on a book of the same name, it makes several changes to its source material's storyline. Starring Will Smith as the main character, Dr. Neville, I Am Legend unfolds in a post-apocalyptic where a cure for cancer infects nearly the entire world's population and turns them into daylight-fearing creatures, Darkseekers. While I Am Legend's action primarily revolves around Dr.

9 The "I Am Legend" Title Has A Different Meaning In The Books In the I Am Legend movie's original ending scene, Dr. Neville sacrifices his life for the greater good and becomes a legend for saving humanity from a raging virus. The book's ending contrasts this by showing how Neville was only a legend in his own eyes but was resisting change and evolution by finding a vaccine for the Darkseekers.

5 Neville Does Not Find Other Survivors In The Book In I Am Legend's final arc, Dr. Neville feels broken after his dog's demise and sets out on a self-destructive mission to take down as many Darkseekers as before they get him. Fortunately, he survives when two humans, a mother-son duo, rescue him and take him home. The original Richard Matheson book does not feature any encounters between humans and Neville, suggesting that he may indeed be the last surviving human.

3 I Am Legend's Original Neville Is Morally More Complex In his book, Richard Matheson uses the Darkseekers as a narrative device to study Neville's character and portray how he gives in to his natural human tendency of being terrified of change while the world around him evolves. This narrative makes Neville a morally complex character because he is not trying to save the world from evil monsters, but instead, projecting his own radical view of what an ideal world should look like.
