Our Office is in “I AM LEGEND”

In the very first scene of “I Am Legend”, Will Smith chases a herd of deer from The Flatiron Building all the way up Park Avenue. And he drives right past the office building that houses Frederator and Next New Networks. I took this screenshot of it. 419 Park Ave South. Beware of zombies.

I’m impressed by the geographical accuracy of the chase scene. It’s the same route I walk from the subway every day so I know it well. It’s nice when a director strives for such truth in depicting an real environmental. The classic chase scene in Steve McQueen’s “Bullitt” defies any sort of logic in San Francisco space and time.

You can watch the video here. It’s 2:20 in.
