Hollywood really has run out of ideas.
Mark Dacascos and the DTV market has made sure it technically is the fourth adaptation.

As a bit of a B-Movie expert I can assure you, Will Smith's is more a THE OMEGA MAN in I AM LEGEND's clothing than they care to admit. Which(as a B-Movie fan) is just fine with me...someday there will be a properly intimate adaptation. Just not yet.
