I Am Legend 2 Prequel Or Sequel?
Earlier we reported that Warner Bros. was moving forward with a prequel “I Am Legend.” But now rumor has it that “I Am Legend 2″ might indeed be a sequel after all.
The original idea was for the film to take place “several years before the original film” and follow Will Smith’s character Robert Neville as he fails to save a small pocket of survivors.
AICN recently had a scooper email them about the new film:
Let’s start at the beginning. Smith is actually the one who developed the initial story. It took place several years before the original film and there were still pockets of survivors and the story centered around Smith interacting, bonding, and ultimately failing to save them. For months this was the story. Warner’s didn’t much care for it and Smith and Weiss eventually came on board and all parties agreed to change things up. Well this change is pretty insane, the film is no longer a prequel, it’s a f@#*ing sequel!
The site also said that they had never never tested this source before, so this news should be “consumed with a grain of salt.” Of course, the studio hasn’t commented on the development of I Am Legend 2.
