In December, Warner Home Entertainment will repackage their I Am Legend and The Omega Man catalog titles into one Blu-ray double feature set. The two films act as separate adaptations of Richard Matheson's classic horror novel I Am Legend.
The Omega Man (1971) stars Charlton Heston (Ben-Hur) as Robert Neville, an army doctor fighting for survival in a ghoul-infested Los Angeles, while I Am Legend (2007) transplants the action to New York City and casts Will Smith (Independence Day) as Neville.
Both films are presented in their original aspect ratio of 2.39:1; I Am Legend has a 5.1 Dolby TrueHD audio track while The Omega Man has monaural Dolby Digital sound. Each film also contains a number of bonus materials, including:
