Early Plot Details For 'I Am Legend' Prequel/Sequel?

This morning AICN got an inside tip regarding the storyline for Warner Bros. Pictures' I Am Legend II, which they're jokingly referring to as II AM LEGEND (kinda awesome). Beyond the break you can read a little bit about what the plot follows, but they do note that the source isn't a regular scooper, so make sure to take it with a grain of salt. The sequel is set to be directed by Francis Lawrence, who reteams with star Will Smith.

From an Aint it Cool News tipster:

"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 fucking sequel!"

Yea, so how are they going to do the sequel is smith is dead? Tell everyone to watch the special edition DVD for the alternate ending? The ONLY thing that could work is a prequel...which I wouldn't mind see those things go batshit crazy on Smith and some survivors. Too bad it will probably be PG-13 or some bullshit.

the filmmakers have painted themselves into a cornor with this one. if they wanted a sequel they shouldn't have killed the motherfucker(Smith) in the first place! this idea can only be a pequel. or have the sequel without said motherfucker. but that wont really work will it?

The original was retarded in the first place . . . why make a prequel?

Maybe it will be a remake? or a reboot? or a re-imagining?

They have a good reason to make a prequel man.....money. I Am Legend banked at the box office. People will flock to another one i'm sure. I'm just confused as to how Smith could be in a sequel...... haha.

I thought I AM LEGEND was just ok. Not bad, but as far as end of the world zombie shit, it did not hold up to 28 WEEKS LATER or the DAWN OF THE DEAD remake.

maybe they are going with smith in the trunk of the car, al messd up from the explosion and then healed. or going the blade way and make him one of those things to keep him alive and fix him with the cure that vega holds at the end. just toughts. i prefer a proper adaptation of the book than a sequel prequel or anything.

Maybe this will distract Will Smith from fucking up Oldboy.

Since they left out a large portion of the book, a prequel is the only way to go. Richard Matheson is my favorite author...I wonder what he thinks about this?

How about just leave it alone, and spend all that hollywood money and effort on creating a new, original idea.... nahhh, that'll never happen when cashing in on past ventures is sooooo scrumptious.

I'd see this if it was a re-boot. Get rid of the CGI infected and make them like "28 Weeks Later." Too-much CGI ruined it for me.

they shouldnt even make a sequel/prequel whatever to this. he died at the end. unless they would just do the movie with all who survived who got "the cure" at the end of the movie and just show him in flashbacks or something, but nah.......$$$$ man i guess if a movie goes well over 10.000 they just greenlight a sequel who cares about the fans or whatever. (the stupid twilight, the remake of halloween, lets see i am sure that there are other pointess sequels that dont need to be made)

We are all definitely excited about this news. Hey, do you smell that? That's sarcasm! Will Smith is a good actor (although it seems odd to see him in horror movies). I Am Legend could have been great except for two things - one is that 28 Days / Weeks Later came out before and blows it away. Secondly, the fucking CGI ruins the whole overall gritty feel that an End of the World movie should have. In closing; we might forgive Will for more Legend, but keep him the fuck away from Oldboy.

I am Legend was a good, entertaining and stand alone film in my opinion (except for the CGI, that party was laughably phony and annoying at times) and there is really no need for a prequel or sequel in my opinion. Also, I think the studio should have went with the original alternate ending that you can only see on DVD.
