I AM LEGEND
Before Will Smith, Arnold Schwarzenegger was all set to star in Ridley Scott's I AM LEGEND.
The proposed film spent a year in pre-production in 1997. The project was cancelled and actor and star would move onto other projects. This is the story of why, plus a look at the concept art, make-up tests and storyboards from the development phase.
