Warner Bros. is ramping up development on a prequel to the 2007 smash I Am Legend, which will see Will Smith reprising his role as one of the lone survivors on a zombified Earth.
Director Francis Lawrence is expected to take the reins again in the story of how New Yorkers came to be stricken by a deadly plague that turned them into nocturnal, blood-sucking creatures.
I Am Legend raked in $256 million domestically but [spoiler alert!] didn’t really set up a Smith-starring sequel, prompting studio executives to start brainstorming other ways to keep the lucre flowing.
Money-hungry bastards!
This film doesn’t need a prequel nor a sequel. This is just Warner Bros. trying to milk the money cow some more.
