The original film was released on on December 14, 2007 in the United States and Canada.

The plot summary of the previous film provided by IMBD reads:

"Robert Neville is a scientist who was unable to stop the spread of the terrible virus that was incurable and man-made. Immune, Neville is now the last human survivor in what is left of New York City and perhaps the world. For three years, Neville has faithfully sent out daily radio messages, desperate to find any other survivors who might be out there. But he is not alone. Mutant victims of the plague -- The Infected -- lurk in the shadows... watching Neville's every move... waiting for him to make a fatal mistake. Perhaps mankind's last, best hope, Neville is driven by only one remaining mission: to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood. But he knows he is outnumbered... and quickly running out of time." Warner Brothers.

Although the reboot version is confirmed in the works, as of the moment, Warner Brothers didn't announce yet the stars, the plot, and the director to work on the film. However, there is a script which said suits for a franchise movie.
