Two More Join I Am Legend

Blackfilm reports that actress Salli Richardson ("Anacondas", TV's "Eureka") has been cast as Ginny, the wife of Will Smith's character, and that Alice Braga (niece of legendary Brazilian actress Sonia Braga) has been cast as Anna in the latest film adaptation of the Richard Matheson classic "I Am Legend".

'Legend' is about a terrible plague that has decimated the world, and those who were unfortunate enough to survive have been transformed into blood-thirsty creatures of the night. Except, that is, for Robert Neville. He alone appears to be immune to this disease, but the grim irony is that now he is the outsider.Will Smith will be playing the role of Robert Neville.

The site has also confirmed the Depp not involved rumours of yesterday, and shot down talk that Gabrielle Union had been cast in the film as Smith's wife.
