Right after I Am Legend came out, people were clamoring over the fake Batman vs. Superman billboard in the film’s apocalyptic future version of Times Square. Director Francis Lawrence, who was supposedly once attached to the project, threw that in there as a little easter egg for the fans. The image hit the ‘net, and fanboys everywhere hoped it was a reality.
Then, a few days later, reports started cropping up that fake posters for the Teen Titans and Green Lantern movies were hidden in the film as well. Though we didn’t have any confirmation, the rumors persisted. We just assumed

CHUD are reporting that Will Smith’s I Am Legend had to under go re-shoots last week, as Warner Bros were unhappy with director Francis Lawrence’s ending. Apparently Lawrence’s ending was already unfaithful to Richard Matheson’s original story, so whether the ending will be changed back to what it was originally, or changed to something else entirely in unknown.
