I Am Legend II, a Sequel or Prequel?

Yes, I did make a play on words with this title being similar to the story below.

I mentioned way back around two months ago about a possible "I Am Legend" prequel, which would show how the world came to be all dead n' empty n' crazy.

According to Ain't It Cool News, the possible prequel might be a possible sequel. How this happens, I don;'t know since (SPOILER) Will Smith's character dies at the end of the film.

"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 f***ing sequel!"

Weiss refers to D.B. Weiss who is reportedly writing the script for the next installment.

Screen Rant explained how a sequel might work is the story takes place after the alternate ending on the DVD of "I Am Legend."

"Interestingly enough, the alternate ending of 'I Am Legend' (which was far better in my opinion) that came along on the DVD has Neville living while paying tribute to earlier scenes and plot points of the film. Had that been the theatrically released ending, this quote from the source would make more sense."

What will become of the next "I Am Legend" film?

Kenneth Branagh will direct Thor

Kenneth Branagh is known more for theater and Shakespearean acting, but now he has pulled out of directing a Hamlet play in London so that he may direct the upcoming Thor movie.

Thor based on the comic book in which the Norse thunder god has a human alter-ego in disabled doctor Donald Blake.

A report by The Geek Files Tuesday said, "Branagh has landed the job of director for the Hollywood superhero film, saying he has had to pull out of directing Jude Law in Hamlet at Wyndham's Theatre from June 3 to August 22 2009."

Thor is due for release on July 16. 2010, with a screenplay by I Am Legend scribe Mark Protosevich. No casting has been announced at this early stage.

I Am Legend Prequel

I Am Legend is getting a prequel with Will Smith reprising his role as the scientist Robert Neville.

According to Latino Review, "The prequel will chronicle the final days of humanity in New York before a man-made virus caused a plague that left Smith’s character the lone survivor among a mutated mob in the city."

I am Legend did well in the Box Office, grossing over $500 million. To continue the franchise only a prequel would have worked since something happen to Smith's character in the first movie (trying not to spoil here).

The story of how the world became like this will be told in a new I Am Legend movie.
