Im going to start by using a fanboy phrase

I love the book, and have always enjoyed Richard matherson`s books.

and when i first found out that they were making another adaptation of the book, I wasnt best pleased.
It always seem whenever a director gets his hands and the storyline they feel they have to put there mark on it, And in doing so wreck the whole reason of making a film from it.

after watching a few of the trailers i saw potential, sure theres a sports car in stead of a shit heap wreck and i dont think theyll go into Roberts mural and constant searching for resources. and the anagram in his name loses its meaning in a film but it could work.

Will Smiths appearance as the lead came as a shock but it would be nice for him to have a film where there isnt someone to bounce fresh prince one-liners off of. and it isnt a role id excepted he would get. the whole premise doesnt fit into the generic will smith role.

So it could go either way. Hopefully smiths become so expected that you could just see though him and enjoy the plot. or he might shine though.

either way ill be seeing it just to see the comparison.
