It was big news that I Am Legend went through a series of reshoots. One of the big changes was the film's ending, which was reshot to give the film a more commercial conclusion. The special edition DVD hits store shelves on March 18th, for such a new released Blu-ray is only $19, the widescreen version for $14 on sale

and the alternative ending has been leaked onto YouTube.

I'd be interested to hear what you guys think, so please post your thoughts. I feel that this is a much better conclusion, aside from the voiceover driving sequence which book ends the footage.

I dunno if this thread was supposed to be a joke (your link obviously isn't from the movie), but THE ACTUAL alternate ending does indeed suck monkey butt. They took a "Land of the Dead" approach and gave the monsters a heart and soul. STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! STUPID! The original ending might not satisfy alotta folks, but it's definetly better than this one!

I'd like to know what made it so controversial. It's not like anyone said the end of "Land of the Dead" was controversial and it was basically the same thing. The only difference was they actually tacked that awful ending onto "Land..."!

NOTE: I only wanted it on record that the alt. ending isn't even worth watching. It's as crappy as the theatrical ending of "The Butterfly Effect"!
