Shelby GT500 Gets First Movie Role With Big Willy

June 18th, 2007 by CobraMatt

Some of you may remember my post about a GT500 being featured on an episode of “Shooting Cars” on Speed back in February, well that scene was for Will Smith’s movie “I Am Legend” which opens on December 14th. The car jumping through the window video is after the jump.

In the movie Will Smith plays Robert Neville a brilliant scientist who is the last human survivor on earth after an uncurable and manmade virus kills everybody. Robert Neville is somehow immune to the virus and finds he is not alone, he is among “the infected”, victims of the deadly virus who have mutated into meat eating beings who can only exist in the dark. For three years Neville has been roaming around scavenging for food and supplies while sending out radio messages trying to contact anybody who has survived. He is also on a quest to find a way to reverse the effects of the virus using his own immune blood.

Looks like will smith has his choice of any car and he picks the GT500 to drive around in the movie. From the trailer it looks like another good movie staring Will Smith. I will definately being looking forward to watching this in the theatre.

Below is the footage they were shooting as the GT500 drove through a window and onto the streets of NY.
