For the next eight days, these mock military vehicles and more than a thousand extras will shoot an evacuation scene for the next Big Willie blockbuster, “I am Legend.”
The post-apocalyptic sci-fi flick is due out this December.
Filming will start at 4 p.m. and is expected to wrap up weekdays at 10 p.m., police said.
