		<description><![CDATA[Variety have today confirmed what director Francis Lawrence told us back in July, that an I AM LEGEND prequel is in development over at Warner Bros. and that both he and star Will Smith are expected to return for a second outing.

The studio have hired D.B. Weiss (currently adapting Neil Strauss' pick-up novel THE GAME) to come up with a screenplay based on a blueprint set out by Lawrence, Smith and the first movie's writer Akiva Goldsman and producer James Lassiter.



The movie will chronicle the final days of humanity in New York as a deadly plague begins spreading across the world which as we know, eventually leave Smith to survive for three years as "the last man alive".

It's truly a case of LOGICAL STORY DEVELOPMENT (not that there should be a sequel, I just mean if there is... it should go forward like 28 WEEKS LATER did) being sacrificed for the sake of bringing back it's lead mega-star. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The weekend after I Am Legend opened to $77 million domestic for Warner Bros., we all knew a further continuation of this series was inevitable. The movie was Will Smith's highest opening of all time and was liked by critics and audiences a like, with his performance singled out for huge praise.

Those combinations usually = sequel.

Though, not quite in this case as bringing back Will Smith for the logical continuation of the story (a.k.a 28 Weeks Later) can't quite be done. So the only way to get Smith back is to sacrifice the forward momentum of the series and go the PREQUEL route.


Which was yesterday confirmed by director Francis Lawrence at the Con...
"Yes, yes, absolutely, we're actually trying to crack that. We're trying to figure out some ideas for it, but yes, it would be a prequel."

"In the prequel, it's slightly different because it's earlier. We were three years later so we did a lot of research into the way nature would have sort of overtaken the city, with the cracks in the streets and the weeds, so if it's just back earlier, it'll be slightly different so the approach will be different.
