Remember when I was trying to figure out why we need an I am Legend prequel, scratch that we are now getting a sequel instead. I hate that Hollywood can’t just let a movie be successful and leave it. No, they have to turn everything into a franchise. And, what else do they need to tell us. Zombie virus wipes out most of the population, Will Smith immune, Will Smith dogs gets it, Will discovers other survivors, and Will Smith sacrificed himself. Now what? Here are the dumbtails for the sequel, prequel, whatever:
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!

Blah. I’m happier just sticking with the novella in this case. I Am Legend turned out to be an okay movie so just cease and fucking desist right there, please. We don’t need a fourth film adaptation of this story.

Mabey it can be teenagers at a Drive in right…now add some Zoo scenes and shopping downtown and more of the emotional bonding between zombies. The Tshirt merchandise alone will be amazing. Its kind of like the 28 days thing. Beat it till it stops quivering.
