Looks like it's not a remake of the film, but a new adaptation of the  
novel...

...which is still a superb read. I read it in one hit the first time,  
about 3 hours of non-stop zooming...

Without even looking I can tell you this is a remake of the old 
Vincent Price film "The Last Man On Earth" which was a film version of 
Mathesons story "I Am Legend".
"The Omega Man" was a remake of the Price film.
The film was to have originally starred Schwartzenegger but was 
delayed and went through several changes before the Smith version 
actually got a greenlight.

>From what I hear the script started out as a fairly straight retelling 
of Mathesons story, but ended up incorporating details similar to the 
Heston vehicle.
Wikipedia has a fairly good article on the various versions and the 
differences between them.
