Action star Will Smith is revisiting one of his most iconic roles with a planned sequel for 2007’s I Am Legend, as a producer and star, alongside Black Panther’s Michael B. Jordan.
This marks the first time that both popular actors will be working on a project. Oscar-winning screenwriter Akiva Goldsman, who adapted the 1954 post-apocalyptic Richard Matheson novel’s 1954 novel, is also set to return, to write and produce the follow-up.
No director is currently attached to the new project. Francis Lawrence directed the original I Am Legend.
What is surprising about the news is that Smith’s character of virologist Robert Neville in the original film, which grossed US$256.4 million in the US and US$585.4 million globally, died at the end of the film. There is no word on how the character will return in the sequel, as details for the movie are still under wraps.
In the home video release of the film, an alternate ending of the film, where Robert Neville survived, was introduced.
Hsals needs more space in his house, and more money in his bank account to pay for all the toys, collectibles and other geek related items that companies are churning out. Free-time? Girlfriend? Who’s got time for those?
