CES, was omega man on Netflix?

Probably? I don't think i'd have rented it. I haven't rented anything outside of netflix or amazon for years. It might have been a dvd, if i watched it before i switched to streaming.

Acting styles have changed a lot since it was filmed...

Did you see the movie?...
Watched about the first 30 minutes and turned it off.

Hitt, and maybe OTD, you'd probably like 'the name of the wind' it's the first book in a trilogy and it's amazing... Patrick Rothfuss - The Books

I looked at the link CES. That does look like a series I'd enjoy, must go looking for it used!


..."I am Legend" was a copy of the "Omega Man" with Charton Heston! Your too young Hitt, surprised OTD did not catch it!
Was it based on Omega Man or simply similar to it?


...Hitt watch another Heston movie called "Soylent Green" ...

LOL, "It's People!" still cracks me up (-:

I am legend was a remake of Omega man, but they took a few liberties with the details ;)

I hope you can find the Rothfuss series. I got the digital versions - not very expensive.

From the pages of "OTD's : Who Knew?"
Fella by the name of Richard Matheson wrote the novel "I Am Legend" in 1954.

Matheson, credited as "Logan Swanson", William Leicester, Furio M. Monetti, and Ubaldo Ragona wrote the screenplay for the books 1st film adaption, "The Last Man on Earth" , filmed in 1964.

Then in 1971 the second adaptation of Matheson's book was released under the title "The Omega Man".
The third adaptation was released in 2007 with the original stories title "I Am Legend".
