Description

Boris Sagal's The Omega Man (1971) stars Charlton Heston as Robert Neville -- possibly the last man on earth after a plague which has killed the majority of the population, leaving pockets of albino mutants who can’t stand the sun. They’re known as The Family and lead by the one and only Anthony Zerbe as Matthias. They’ve vowed to kill Neville if it’s the last thing they do…Maurice Bursztynski and Andrew Nette join Mike to discuss The Omega Man as well as the two other filmed adaptations of Richard Matheson's I Am Legend. Joyce Corrington (The Omega Man) and Mark Protosevich (I Am Legend) discuss adapting Richard Matheson's work for the screen.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
