I Am Legend

Trivia: Smith tries to explain to the woman who Bob Marley is by singing a part of the song "I Shot the Sheriff." He also sang this part of the song (with a similar voice imitation) in his role as Will in one of the episodes from the series "Fresh Prince of Bel Air".

Trivia: The Brooklyn Bridge scene cost 5 million to make, the most expensive scene ever filmed in New York at the time.

Trivia: Alongside billboards advertising Broadway musicals such as "Wicked" and "Legally Blonde: the Musical", there is a large banner showing a Batman/Superman logo. This is the filmmakers' wry commentary on a proposed Batman/Superman movie that was stuck in development hell and was never produced.

Trivia: If you look closely at the blonde woman at the bridge, whose eyes are bleeding, insisting that her child isn't infected, you will see she is the infected mutant who Robert Neville later catches to test the cure.

Revealing mistake: When the taxi goes over the edge to capture Dr. Neville, you can see that the underbody of the car as it goes over is a flat painted surface and not the underside of what should be there (i.e., muffler, gas tank, etc.).

Answer: During the evacuation, it seems that only Manhattan is infected, or if there are infections elsewhere, it is not known by the government yet. Sometime in January 2010, things get worse if you follow the posters in the movie.
