I never imagined Will Smith to be the type who does sequels and prequels, but when your flick grosses half a billion worldwide then the answer is "duh."Smith is in the planning stages of a prequel to the successful horror/science fiction "I Am Legend." There's more info over at Variety.
Teamed again with director Francis Lawrence, Smith would reprise his role as scientist Robert Neville and we would follow his adventures in those last days of New York after the plague that just about wipes out the world.
There were great moments in "I Am Legend" but I had my reservations about certain parts that seemed to defy the story's logic (yeah, even in sci-fi there are rules).
I'm not going into detail because there are still some who have not seen it. Nevertheless, I'm still excited about work by Francis Lawrence and hope he can get Keanu Reeves to agree to a another "Constantine." I am telling you, that movie was one of the unsung comic book based films.
And this is for Will Smith, the biggest star in the world, who recently confirmed he is NOT going to play Captain America in a Marvel movie despite the rumors, controversy and what not...
I'm not saying you should play Cap or even Isaiah Bradley (The black Captain America), but man, you could if you wanted to and I would go see it.
