I’m not real big on prequels simply because it’s leading you to familiar territory. The Star Wars Prequels (except Episode I) set you up for the inevitable, but the ride there is what made Episodes II and III really dope in my eyes. Though I thought I Am Legend was a great movie, I don’t know if I’m that eager (yet) for a prequel.
Confirming what Francis Lawrence told us here at Comic-Con International two months ago, Variety reports Warner Bros. is moving on a prequel to the 2007 Will Smith blockbuster I Am Legend, which grossed $584 million internationally.
As Lawrence already told us, he’ll be returning to direct, and Variety says that Will Smith will return as Dr. Robert Neville, as well as co-produce with his Overbrook Entertainment partner James Lassiter and the original movie’s producer Akiva Goldsman.
