Will Smith’s I Am Legend was based mostly on a novel of the identical title by Richard Matheson. The identical e-book has been made into films a number of occasions, together with as soon as as The Omega Man with Charlton Heston, and as soon as as The Final Man on Earth with Vincent Worth. In each model a solitary man appears to be the one survivor of a horrible plague that has worn out many of the earth’s inhabitants and turned the few remaining souls into vampires.
However it appears as if the final man on Earth wasn’t the final man in spite of everything — as a result of now Smith is making an I Am Legend sequel and not solely will he be in it, Creed and Black Panther star Michael B. Jordan might be in it as nicely. Deadline doesn’t have any plot specifics on what they’re calling the “subsequent chapter” within the story, however they are saying that each Smith and Jordan have signed on for the venture, which might be written by Akiva Goldsman, who additionally wrote the script for the first I Am Legend. For the time being, there’s no director hooked up to the venture.
After information of the film broke on-line, Smith posted this picture from I Am Legend to his Instagram (and tagged Michael B. Jordan in it as nicely):
I don’t need to spoil something for you, but when this subsequent I Am Legend actually is a sequel, will probably be attention-grabbing to see how precisely they embrace Smith’s character. (You may learn the Wikipedia plot synopsis if you wish to know what I’m hinting at.) I Am Legend did have an alternate ending that looks as if way more fertile floor for making a sequel, however that wasn’t the ending seen in theaters. Perhaps they’ll fake just like the alternate ending was the actual ending all alongside? Is there any precedent for that?
Regardless, I feel audiences might be on this venture, even when they don’t significantly care about I Am Legend. Smith and Jordan are two of the most important and most charismatic film stars on the planet. The considered them collectively in any venture may be very intriguing.
