I Am Legend (2007)
Based on Richard Matheson’s beloved 1954 novel of the same name, I Am Legend set the box office record for best December opening of all time.

I’m not putting myself emotionally connected to a dog anymore. Then, they brought that damn Abbey on the set. It was the first time I had allowed myself to connect and be fond of a dog since that experience. To the owner I said, ‘Please, Abbey had to live with me. Please.’ He was like ‘Well, this is how I make my living, man.’ I was like ‘Tell me what you need. A house in the hills?’"
