Hi Everyone
August 13th, 2006
I am currently working on a Will Smith movie in New York and things have been pretty hectic so I must apologise for neglecting the web site for so long. I am now settled into pre production and should have time at the weekends to update the site and also (very importantly) I must answer the questions you have all been writing with. I have made a start but I am a little slow because this is a new process and I have to learn it from scratch.
New York is wonderful and a fantastic city, it has been incredibly hot but at least it is cooling down now and it is making our prep bearable. The first thing I shoot here is a single car careering around a deserted New York, so I am walking all the routes on foot and working out the manoeuvres. Because New York has to be empty I will shoot Saturdays and Sundays as early in the morning as possible and with the help of dozens of PA’s Police and CGI I should accomplish it.
This note is just to get the web page back up to speed. So see you soon. Vic

Can you tell us more about this movie?

The movie I am working on is called “I am Legend� and as I said it stars Will Smith, it is based on the book I am Legend and is a remake of “the Last Man Left Alive� and “The Omega Man�. Will Smith thinks he is the last man left alive after a virus goes wrong and kills 90% of the population and the other 10% are infected and are zombie like creatures that only come out at night.
It present the usual challenges for me which are to try and come up with unusual yet powerful action.

I heard that Johnny Depp is in this also. Any truth? Zombies and Will Smith? Is this a another Men in Black type thing or is it a “R” rated horror flick?

Hi Vic,
We met last year at the Taurus. I´m the Swedish guy who you got a letter from when I was a kid. I just discovered this website. Great! That was a terrific evening for me and a dear memory. Hope the best for you in the future.
Sincerly Yours,
Henrik Knutsson:-)

Hi Vic We met a long time ago in Libya when you were filming 'The Message'. Great to hear you are doing so well. Caught part of the 'This is your life' programme a couple of years ago.

Hi Vic!
Respect!!!
Im a big fan of your work!
-I even liked Joshua Tree!!
Have been for ages, only just found this site!
I really wanted to get into stunt work, and i did look into it, but i havent got all the nessisary requirements…
Did ‘work’ on Love Honour and Obey, which was great, but nothing since…
Just saw Casino Royale for the 2nd time,
its practically treason, you not being involved,
how could they do it without you?!
Keep up the fantastic work, you the man!!
