It’s no question that Hollywood loves money and that movie-goers love Will Smith, so naturally the only way to extend the box-office success of the post-apocalyptic I Am Legend is to make, well, a prequel.
Because that’s exactly what the world needs – a prequel of THAT film!
Left with few other options since a) the original film is about the end of the world and b) Will Smith dies, Warner Bros. had to go back in time in order to keep Will in the lead and keep the money rolling in.
They’ve hooked D.B. Weiss into writing the script, which is based on a detailed outline conceived by Will, I Am Legend and its prequel director Francis Lawrence, Smith’s Overbrook Entertainment partner James Lassiter and Weed Road’s Akiva Goldsman.
Let’s hope it doesn’t flop! Or, we should say, let’s hope it DOES!
