‘I Am Legend’ Next Chapter: Will Smith & Michael B. Jordan To Star & Produce Together For First Time; Akiva Goldsman Back To Write

The sequel to 'I Am Legend' will star Will Smith and Michael B. Jordan in their first on-screen pairing. Akiva Goldsman is back to write the script.

EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros. is upping the stakes on its I Am Legend franchise to a stratospheric level. For its next chapter, the studio is bringing back not only original star Will Smith but also Black Panther actor Michael B. Jordan in what will rep the duo’s first big movie together as stars and producers.


Talk about two big stars aligning: Smith and Jordan’s movies combined have grossed a massive $12.3 billion worldwide.


Plot details, of course, are being kept under wraps.

Oscar winner Akiva Goldsman, who adapted the Richard Matheson’s 1954 novel for the original 2007 movie, also is returning to pen the follow-up and produce as well.

All these deals are closed, I understand, but no director is attached as the project still is being developed. Francis Lawrence directed the original I Am Legend.

I guess the alternate ending is cannon, unless all of Will's scenes are flashbacks.

I really don't like the concept of alternative endings.
Perhaps flashbacks may be the approach they explore.

Will Smith should not have died in the first one and should have made a sequel right away. He fuk'd up big time.

They were going to go with the ending where he survives,but test audiences didnt like it

Yeah, I saw that alternative ending and I loved it. I don't think the test audiences are that powerful, when has a major studio been allergic to making a sequel and thus, making a ton of money?

 

[Dr. Truth]

Aye shaddy..... them niggas gone be taking Me!!! Remember it was like 2015 when you told me the youngest was to young to see Deadpool.

They bout to be your age man.

Your nephews about to be 44? Damn

[shaddyvillethug]

It’s been a long time since we bumped that thread.


Relax

 

[D'Evils]

Warner should release a Director's Cut with the Alternative Ending before the sequel is released...

Perfect content for their streaming service...

Basically reintroducing the movie to a new audience, possibly setting up a Franchise and promotion for the sequel...

How The Last of Us Is Inspiring the I Am Legend Sequel

Writer and producer Akiva Goldsman is hooked on the HBO show.

How The Last of Us Is Inspiring the I Am Legend Sequel

The time has come once again to think about the tragedy of zombie apocalypses: Akiva Goldsman announced in Deadline that he is working on a sequel to I Am Legend starring Will Smith and Michael B. Jordan that will be significantly The Last of Us–ified. That’s like being yassified, plus pathos and mushroomcore. “This will start a few decades later than the first,” Goldsman said. “I’m obsessed with The Last of Us, where we see the world just postapocalypse but also after a 20-to-30-year lapse. You see how the earth reclaims the world, and there’s something beautiful in the question of, as man steps away from being the primary tenant, what happens?” He added that the story will hew closer to the Richard Matheson novel than the ending of the 2007 movie. “There will be a little more fidelity to the original text,” Goldsman said.
Spoilers for a 16-year-old movie and a 69-year-old book: The 2007 version of I Am Legend differs wildly from the Matheson novel in its ending and thematic takeaways. Both movie and book focus on Robert Neville, a last-man-on-earth type devoted to killing the undead and/or finding a cure for their disease. In the book and the alternate DVD ending, Neville discovers that the monsters he has been killing indiscriminately are sentient and that he is their monster. He “is legend” among the mutated humans in the same way Jeffrey Dahmer is legend in 21st-century America. (Hopefully without the misaimed fandom.) In the theatrical release, Neville discovers a cure for undeadism and dies in a heroic sacrifice. I’m guessing that since Smith is set to reprise his role opposite Jordan, the sequel will use the DVD’s ending.
