Trivia & production notes
- Warner Bros. owned the rights to Richard Matheson's 1954 novel since 1970, well before beginning development in 1995, and had already adapted it once as The Omega Man in 1971.
- Arnold Schwarzenegger was attached to star with director Ridley Scott by July 1997, with Scott later hiring screenwriter John Logan to create a version that had no dialogue in its first hour and ended on a somber note.
- The studio canceled the project in March 1998 when the budget ballooned to $108 million, citing concerns about Scott's recent box office failures and weak performances from similar big-budget films like Sphere and The Postman.
- Rob Bowman was attached as director in August 1998 and reportedly wanted Nicolas Cage to play the lead, but left the project to direct Reign of Fire.
- Michael Bay and Will Smith agreed to the project in March 2002 after Schwarzenegger became producer, but it was shelved due to Warner Bros. president Alan F. Horn's dislike of the script.
- Guillermo del Toro turned down the chance to direct I Am Legend because he wanted to direct Hellboy II: The Golden Army instead.
- Director Francis Lawrence was inspired by the deserted London scenes in 28 Days Later when conceptualizing how to film an empty New York City for the final script.
- Will Smith prepared for his role by visiting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, meeting with someone who had experienced solitary confinement, and consulting with a former prisoner of war.
- Willow Smith, Will Smith's daughter, made her film debut playing Marley, Neville's daughter in the movie.
- Two three-year-old German Shepherd dogs named Abbey and Kona shared the role of Neville's dog Sam throughout the film.
