#MAD MAX I AM LEGEND MEME MOVIE#
Interestingly, this is at least the second rumor to circulate on social media claiming that some apocalyptic movie was set in the year 2021. Whether you are reading the book or watching the movie, “I Am Legend” does not take place in 2021, and the vampires (not zombies) were not created by a vaccine. The only safe haven from the Darkseekers is daylight, since they experience severe reactions to UV light.
The remaining people transform into Darkseekers – pale-skinned creatures with a savage lust for flesh, enhanced strength and speed, and no apparent higher brain function. 1% (about 12 million people on the planet) are immune to the virus.
90% of people who are infected with the virus die. However, it then begins to have much more lethal effects and mutates from a contact-borne virus to an airborne one. Initially it seems that the virus is a success, with more than 10,000 cancer patients cured.

Krippin compares the process of creating her virus to replacing a dangerous driver behind the wheel of a powerful car with a cop. The idea is similar in basic principal to how vaccines work: taking something that would otherwise be harmful to people and turning it into a way to save people. Krippin had genetically edited the measles virus in order to change its effects from damaging to beneficial, spreading a cure for cancer through the bodies of patients. Krippin in I Am Legend’s opening lays out the origins of the Krippin virus. Here’s how Screenrant described the origins of the Krippin Virus in “I Am Legend”:Ī news interview with Dr. They were caused by a genetically modified virus called the Krippin Virus that was meant to be a cure for cancer.

The words crept across his mind as he stood looking down into the earpiece. And there, fluttering delicately on the slide, was a germ. At one point, after examining a woman’s blood, he discovers that the plague was caused by a bacterial infection, and dubs the germ “vampiris.” In the book, the origin of the disease is unknown, and Robert Neville, the protagonist, spends much of the story searching for a cure. In the backstory of both the book and the movie, a plague spread across the globe that gave people rabies-like symptoms before turning them into vampire-like creatures. Regardless, the darkseekers were not created with a vaccine. In both the book and movie, there was an outbreak that turns people into “darkseekers.” While Matheson’s 1954 book had an impact on how both zombies and vampires would be depicted in future horror books and films, the fact that the defining characteristics of these movie villains is that they cannot be in sunlight places them firmly in the vampire section of the monster Venn diagram. In that period, Robert and his faithful dog, Sam, are padlocked within his apartment. The creatures it transforms can’t emerge in the sunlight, so they stay hidden during the day only to come out and seek fresh blood between dusk and dawn. The disease was initially hyped as a cure for cancer (by Emma Thompson in an unbilled cameo) but it mutated and became a killer. Robert Neville (Will Smith), an ex-military scientist who was to some degree culpable for what happened to his race. New York has a human population of one: Dr. Kudos to the special effects wizards for using computers to so effectively depopulate the city. I Am Legend opens in 2012 New York City – the most deserted place on Earth. Here’s an excerpt from Reel Reviews that describes the setting of “I Am Legend”:
