Ain’t It Cool News came across this email about the change from prequel to sequel of the next I Am Legend 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!”

The site also said that they had never interacted with this scooper before, so this news should be “consumed with a grain of salt.” Of course, the studio hasn’t commented on the development of I Am Legend 2 and the news is fairly tricky since Will Smith didn’t exactly make it out of the first film unscathed…

We’ll certainly keep you posted on any developments concerning I Am Legend 2.

Read more..]]> I Am Legend star, Will Smith, is fielding talks with the film’s co-writer – Mark Protosevich – to pen the remake of Old Boy which is being developed with director Steven Spielberg.

As previously reported, DreamWorks is currently securing the remake rights to the 2003 Korean film about a man’s mysterious kidnapping, 15-year imprisonment and feverish quest for revenge upon being released.

Protosevich has also written “Poseidon” and “The Cell,” and he worked on “Thor” for Marvel Studios. His screenplay for “Legend” helped the film earn $584 million in revenue worldwide.

Smith, meanwhile, was in Miami recently for a charity screening of his latest film, “Seven Pounds,” in which he plays a man who does remarkable things for seven strangers. In keeping with the movie’s theme, Smith also donated 300 turkeys to the needy.

“Seven Pounds” arrives in theaters on Dec. 19.
