Yeah, never heard of those other movies, just the short story. If the source material is literature, than subsequent movies aren't remakes of the previous ones.

I see...

But when you are making a movie from a material that has all ready been made a movie then it classifies as a remake.

In that case, then Night of the Living Dead and its remake should be on the list, too, since Romero got the idea from I Am Legend. So that would make the Wil Smith one a remake of a remake of a remake of a remake.

Good point.

Yeah, by that logic, there have been like 50 dracula/frankenstein/hamlet, etc, remakes.

All those movies are based on the original literature. Not on the adaptations that came before.

So wait..... Does that mean Dracula 2000 is a remake of Dracula: Dead and Loving It, which is a remake of Blackula?

In I Am Legend there are literally shots/scenes that are taken straight out of Omega Man. Just replace Heston with Smith and you're there. In that respect it comes across, at the very least as having borrowed if not cited The Omega Man. Not so much The Last Man on Earth.

I saw Blackula pretty cheap on dvd, but I was at an fye and the only cashier on duty was a black girl. I was also the only person in the store.
It was just far too awkward to go through with.
