In Reply to: Matheson on "The Omega Man"&"The Last Man On Earth" posted by AudioHead on July 23, 2001 at 15:43:39:
I've still got a copy I've been toting around since about 1962. Loved the novel, but wasn't too thrilled with The Omega Man. Heston was okay, but over-acted (fit the part of the cardinal in The 3 Mustketeer's beautifully, but too much for OM). I really did love Frank Zerby as Mathias though... he made a fantastic book-burning lunatic cult leader.
Follow Ups:
first chapter of "I Am Legend¨", Jan 1976 - the opening scene:First sentence of the third paragraph: "He walked around the house
in the dull gray of afternoon..."Second sentence of the twelveth paragraph: "He tossed the hammer
on the living-room couch, then lit another cigarette and had his
midmorning drink."First sentence of the fifteenth paragraph: "It was almost noon."
Agree with you on Zerbe; have read remarks at www.imdb.com about
a possible remake with James Cameron directing and Big Arnold as
Neville. I owned a copy of the novel in the mid-sixties, but lost
it sometime back then. Had copies of "Hell-House" and "The Incredible
Shrinking Man", both by Matheson, but they are also gone. - AH
