Moive - I Am Legend

 iamlegend.jpg picture by Karloke23

I Am Legend is an upcoming 2007 post-apocalyptic science fiction horror film directed by Francis Lawrence and starring Will Smith. I Am Legend is based on Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel I Am Legend.Will Smith plays Robert Neville, possibly the only survivor of a man-made virus in the world. He works to create a cure, but he is being stalked by nocturnal mutant survivors of the plague.

Warner Bros. Pictures began developing I Am Legend in 1994, and various actors and directors were attached to the project, though it did not enter production due to budgetary concerns. I Am Legend entered production in 2006 in New York City, filming mainly on location in the city including a $5 million scene at the Brooklyn Bridge, the most expensive scene filmed in the city to date.  I Am Legend is scheduled to be released December 14, 2007.
 

Synopsis

A man-made virus wipes out the population of New York City, leaving virologist Robert Neville (Will Smith) the last human survivor in the city and possibly the world. Neville lives alone for three years, attempting to contact and find other possible survivors. He is watched by mutant victims of the plague. Neville was the indirect cause of the fall of man: his government-funded research helped spread the virus, and he now works to redeem himself. Naturally immune, Neville realizes that two percent of the human race must also be immune. However, many of them were killed by the infected, who became cannibalistic. Neville finds himself outnumbered by the infected and running out of time.

Trailer

 Neville could be immune to all this because he did self testing to himself
Iff anyone read the novel,please tell me why he is immune

I will edit this post is there`s any update

Tokyo Motor Road Show 2007 - Motorcycles Galore

Yamaha’s stand was dubbed as a “Museum to the Art of Engineering.” With 19 new bikes on show and 10 international launches, it was almost a show on its own. At center stage was the four-wheeled Tesseract with its scythe suspension, which allows the rider to lean and turn into corners, motorcycle style. It is powered by a V-twin liquid-cooled hybrid engine.Fun can come in small parcels, as shown by the Bobby — described as a “funny two-wheeled gadget with an interesting and unbalanced appearance.” This electric-powered bike is started and stopped using a FeliCa function on a mobile phone. It is also collapsible, so it can be stored in the trunk of a car.

Then there’s the Cannon. Described by a colleague as “one bad-ass bike,” there was virtually no information about it — but looks alone spoke volumes. One we could work out is that it was a big bore, long stroke V-twin offering “sports performance.” Yamaha put it mildly: “This machine is specially designed to meet the eclectic tastes of hard-core, experienced riders.” Say no more. . .

On the other side of the scale is the Luxair. This beautifully proportioned hybrid cruiser is designed for the older rider (late 40s on) and runs on two electric motors for rapid off-the-line acceleration. The motorcycle crew spoke to Yamaha’s sound system department to integrate an impressive surround-sound audio system.

HondaTwo bikes attracted our attention at Honda for very different reasons. The EV06 concept has been designed around a 1.8-liter flat-six engine from the Goldwing. Unlike the Goldwing, this bike has the looks of a sophisticated street racer, and has real edge.The DN-01 is a large, automatic sports cruiser, powered by a 680cc V-twin engine. The “Human-Friendly Transmission” (HFT) is based on lockup equipped, infinitely variable hydraulic mechanical technology making the bike easy to operate while providing sporty ride quality.

Suzuki

Suzuki had an interesting approach to its environmental research with its Crosscage concept. Running on “production ready,” zero CO2 emission, fuel-cell technology and a lithium cell battery, the Crosscage does not sacrifice fun. Instead the company has designed a lightweight street machine with edgy styling that makes you want to hop on and blast off.

The other option is to hammer down a runway on the Biplane concept. The exact comparison was lost in translation, but the essence is that riding a bike is similar to flying a plane. . .well that’s the theory anyway. The bike, however, is a beautiful, aerodynamic machine reminiscent of a ‘70s drag bike.

Tokyo Motor Road Show 2007 - Top Future Cars

Suzuki Kizashi 2 Photo: Perry Stern

Suzuki Kizashi2

Compared with the original Kizashi concept shown September 2007 in Frankfurt, the Kizashi 2 has more conventional headlights and grille, wider flared wheel arches to accommodate larger tires, and revised side window shapes. The result is something closer to a production model, and though clearly there’s still some way to go, Suzuki confirmed they do intend to develop a real car from the Kizashi 2. Talk of “vitality,” “status,” the progressive styling, and the 3.6-liter V6 (Suzuki’s biggest ever engine), strongly suggest a fastback or crossover body style and upscale market positioning for this compact, exec-sized car.

Volkswagen space up!

Do this job for long enough and you get a kind of sixth sense about which design idea could have legs as well as wheels, and you don’t have to be a genius to see that VW’s space up! concept has “production future” written all over it. Not necessarily exactly as is, with the show car’s tricky pillarless construction and suicide doorsbut the shape is cute and the packaging brilliant, with an engine under the rear floor and very adaptable seating layout. VW describes it as the second variant of their New Family Car (after the two-door up!, seen in Frankfurt). As soon as a manufacturer starts talking about a family of cars based on a concept, you know they’re taking the whole thing seriously. Keep your eye on this one.

Honda CR-Z

Showing that hybrids don’t have to be dull, Honda’s CR-Z gets sleek styling with matching performance, but remains eco-friendly with its low-emission, highly fuel-efficient hybrid powertrain. The logical successor to the Small Hybrid Sports Concept shown in Geneva earlier this year, the CR-Z looks like it could easily move into production with little changed from the concept. In fact, it was announced that a new hybrid based on the CR-Z could make it to showrooms “soon.”

Audi metroproject quattro

Audi’s most recent venture into what they would see as a small car, the A2, didn’t exactly set the world on fire in terms of sales or popular approval. However, it did show that the four-ringed brand can see the value of a premium small car as part of its bid for premium market domination by the beginning of the next decade. When they try again, which they seem likely to do in just a couple year’s time, the car looking to break into the niche will almost certainly be labeled A1. It was no secret that Audi’s Tokyo concept, the metroproject quattro, is the automaker’s way of testing reaction to looks especially, and technology as a bonus. It’s hard to see the looks offending anyone, and equally hard to see them generating a lot of excitement, but the concept also gives intriguing hints of gasoline-electric hybrid all-wheel drive, excellent efficiency and some integrated technologies in the innovative, carry-in-you-pocket Audi Mobile Device. The question remains: Is the world ready for a smaller Audi?

Subaru Exiga Concept

The Exiga Concept is described by Subaru as a “7-Seater Panoramic Touring” with a panoramic glass roof and theater seating that provides good viewing for all seven occupants. With looks similar to a larger Legacy wagon, the Exiga oncept is powered by Subaru’s turbocharged 2.0-liter horizontally opposed boxer engine with Symmetrical AWD and a 5-speed automatic transmission. The interior incorporates high-quality leather and a blue panel that stretches across the instrument panel, which houses eight monitors that display views from exterior cameras or entertainment for the passengers.

Volvo ReCharge

The idea of using a small engine running constantly at its most effective speed simply to provide power for a battery pack and electric motors is so obvious that it’s hard to see why it isn’t everywhere. And the original Dr. Porsche first used the idea of electric hub motors in all four wheels around a century ago in one of his earliest designs, the Lohner-Porsche. Both are technologies that make big sense today, and both are in the Volvo ReCharge. Plug in to recharge at home, or let the 1.6 four-cylinder engine do the job (if it needs to) on the move. Result? “Emissions-free” electric-only running for up to 62 miles (100 km), all the range you want with the engine boosting battery power, and up to 66 percent lower overall consumption than a “conventional” hybrid. Neat C30 looks, too. Build it!

 

Mitsubishi Concept ZT Photo: Rod Hatfield

Mitsubishi Concept ZT

We were all impressed with the classy appearance of this sedan concept. It looks production-ready, and is believed to be a prototype for the next-generation Galant. Underhood is a 2.2-liter “clean diesel” engine, said to offer “the acceleration of a 4.0-liter gasoline engine and the economy of a 1.6-liter.” The engine uses lower compression ratios compared to conventional diesels, meaning it can be made of lighter materials. Thanks to ultra-high-pressure direct injection it still burns fuel cleanly. Transmission is a dual-clutch “SST” gearbox feeding an electronically controlled four-wheel-drive system. That technical sophistication and the car’s premium appearance could make for a competitive edge that its competent but bland predecessors never had.

Lexus LF-A

Lexus brought its latest version of the LF-A two-seat supercar concept to Tokyo, still motivated by a 500-plus horsepower V10 engine with a front mid-engine placement and a rear transaxle for balance. The first LF-A concept was the maiden example of Lexus’ L-finesse styling direction, now reflected in other concepts such as the LF-Xh. The styling of the new version has been refined with more curved surfaces and additional detailing. Engineering analysis has been done to move the car closer to production. According to Lexus, the superior aerodynamics, revised styling and horsepower would make a top speed of 200 mph possible.

Honda DN-01

Although Honda officials were unwilling to be drawn into discussion when questioned about whether this bike would go into production, it certainly looks more finished and grounded in the real world than most concept motorcycles. The DN-01 is a large automatic sports cruiser, powered by a 680cc V-twin engine and aimed at the lucrative older market. The “Human-Friendly Transmission” (HFT) is a variable hydraulic/mechanical system making the bike easy to operate while providing sporting ride quality.

Daihatsu OFC-1

Finished in bright red paint, the Daihatsu OFC-1 is a small two-seat roadster that really looks entertaining. With a sleek teardrop shape and a power-retractable top that has a glass roof for a panoramic open feeling even when closed, the high-tech glass allows the driver to change the opacity from transparent to opaque via a switch that controls the integrated LCD sunshade technology. Highlights include LED headlights, large front air intakes, an integrated rear spoiler, electronically controlled-suspension and 17-inch aluminum wheels. Powered by a 660cc 3-cylinder turbocharged engine with a CVT and paddle shifters for efficient performance, the OFC-1 should deliver excellent fuel economy as well as loads of fun.

Tokyo Motor Road Show 2007 - Top Ten Wacky Car

Nissan Pivo2 Concept Photo: Bruce Whitaker 

Nissan Pivo2

Nissan introduced the first PIVO concept two years ago here in Tokyo, and perhaps what’s most surprising is that they decided to build a second one. The PIVO2 looks like it’d be a perfect mascot car for a baseball team, with its spherical passenger compartment sitting on a 4-wheeled platform. The wheels can be turned in any direction and the passenger compartment itself can spin 360 degrees. Each wheel is fitted with an electric motor with power coming from advanced lithium-ion batteries. Not only is PIVO2 friendly to the environment, it also takes care of its driver. A “Robotic Agent” is fitted into the dashboard that recognizes the facial images of the driver, providing not only useful information for vehicle operation, but also “speaks to you to cheer you up or to soothe you accordingly.” Don’t look for this car driving down public roads anytime soon, but its quite popular here in Japan.

Mazda Taiki Concept Photo: Rod Hatfield

Mazda Taiki

Look closely enough and Mazda’s Takai just about bridges the gap between fantasy and reality, and that alone puts it pretty close to the top of our concepts list. The latest in the evolutionary scale of Mazda concepts got started with the Nagare in Los Angeles and follows the theme of “flow” (which is what the Japanese word Nagare means). Takai looks like the kind of car that a superhero comic illustrator might draw in a 25th century cityscape — yet at the same time it looks as though it just might work. It’s all about line rather than technology, although there’s bound to be some of that under the swoopy skin, too. It unequivocally gets our vote because any car that takes inspiration from the flow of a celestial maiden’s robes and whose design process included leaving resin-impregnated strips of gauze literally to take on the shape of the wind deserves to be appreciated. Yes, it has an astonishing Cd of only 0.25, and zero aerodynamic lift all round, but in the end it just looks stunning.

 

Toyota i-Real Concept Photo: Bruce Whitaker

Toyota i-Real

Chances are good that no one will see this cruising down the road anytime soon, but the i-REAL could shape what a personal mobility vehicle may be one day. This spaceship-like conveyance resembles a segway with a seat and looks like it would fit perfectly in Xbox’s famed Halo series. The i-Real rides on two wheels at the front and one in the rear. A perimeter monitoring system detects when a collision is imminent and warns the driver by noise and vibration. Love it or hate it, the i-REAL provides a glimpse at a possible future for personal transportation.

 

Honda PUYO Concept Photo: Sean Frego

Honda PUYO

Staying with the environmentally friendly theme that flows through this show, the PUYO concept is a small, four-passenger zero-emission electric car powered by Honda’s proven fuel-cell system. The fuel-cell stack fits into the floor, allowing for a roomy interior. But while the fuel-cell technology is quite advanced, that aspect was the most mainstream part of the PUYO. What makes this car unlike anything else we’ve seen is that it is designed to be a “seamless soft box.” And it is soft — the outer surface of the PUYO is made from silicon gel, which is not only more protective of any pedestrians that may get in the PUYO’s way, but it is meant to be touched, providing a “warm, friendly impression.” The PUYO’s skin is also luminescent, so lights can be hidden from sight until turned on. The interior features a similar material, allowing dashboard instruments to stay hidden until needed.

Daihatsu Mud Master-C

The Mud Master-C is a small, tough transporter that is compact and lightweight but is designed with body-on-frame construction for durability and cargo capability. Outfitted as a mountain bike support vehicle, Mud Master-C was co-developed with Raita Suzuki, a leading professional cyclist. With large cargo doors on three sides, Mud Master-C offers excellent convenience and versatility for loading cargo or other uses. A hub reduction system driveshaft to the wheels and large off-road tires achieves exceptional ride height and approach angles. The interior features a simple instrument panel with a large LCD multi-display and the seats are water-repellent for rugged use.

 

Suzuki X-Head Concept Photo: Perry Stern

Suzuki X-Head

This cross-utility vehicle from Suzuki is a car to satisfy all of your Tonka toy fantasies. It is functional, fun and dependable, says Suzuki. Its greatest attribute is its ability to transform into many guises. By changing the load bed, X-head can become a camper for two adults, stylish urban mobility in Fashion guise or able to respond to emergencies in extreme environments when in Rescue mode

 

Nissan NV200 Concept Photo: Rod Hatfield

Nissan NV200

Designed as a work van of the future, the NV200 doesn’t look all that unusual in it’s standard configuration until you notice the “Attention: Pod Opens” stencil on the side panel. The pod in question is a large storage unit that slides out of the rear of the NV200, and is designed to be configured to whatever commercial or personal need necessary. Once the Pod has been extended, it provides easy access to tools, equipment, or whatever else the owner would like. The NV200 example on display featured all the gear one might need for underwater exploration and photography. The NV200 is rather advanced, but there are parts of this idea that we could see making it to production eventually.

 

Suzuki Biplane Photo: Bruce Whitaker

Suzuki BiPlane

This modern take on a ‘70s drag bike aims to capture the sensation shared by airplanes and bikes. The aerodynamic concept is inspired by the elevating feel riders get when accelerating through a long straightway — like an aircraft taking off. Biplane is powered by a 1,000cc, liquid cooled, 4-stroke DOHC, V-four engine, and it will certainly turn heads.

 

Mitsubishi i-MIEV Sport Concept Photo: Rod Hatfield

Mitsubishi i-MIEV Sport

This baby electric car concept from Mitsubishi is designed to show that a zero-emission car can look great and have a sporty feel. It has three electric motors, two of which are built into the wheels, and a convenient wireless charging system that uses microwaves. A limited number of (non-sporty) i-MIEV experimental cars are already on the road (even Mitsubishi’s company president uses one) and Mitsubishi thinks the technology may be ready for series production as soon as 2010. The microwaves sound a bit ambitious, but otherwise we think it looks like a credible idea for a city car that’s practical, fun, environmentally friendly, and, perhaps, available in the not-too-distant future.

 

Suzuki PIXY Concept Photo: Rod Hatfield

Suzuki PIXY

Stretching the definition of “car,” this highly maneuverable one-seater “personal mobility pod” is a vision of sustainable individual mobility for future cities and towns. It can be used by people who don’t drive cars for short, low-speed journeys. But for faster and longer commutes, two PIXYs can “pair” with — that is, drive into — the SSC (Suzuki Sharing Coach). That brings new meaning to the term “car sharing.” Powered by solar power and zero-emission hydrogen, PIXYs can even be used inside buildings and are designed to be “friendly to non-drivers and car users…not only a tool but a partner”
