I Am Legend 2?
I am somewhat surprised by this news, but considering how money hungry Hollywood is, I know I really shouldn’t be all that surprised. ShockTillYouDrop.com got some very interesting news recently about the possibility of a sequel to last month’s box-office breaking hit, ‘I Am Legend.’
The good folks at ShockTillYouDrop give us this news:
An inside source, who wishes to remain anonymous, tells ShockTillYouDrop.com author Richard Matheson has signed off on sequel rights for the smash hit I Am Legend. Matheson wrote the original 1954 novel upon which Francis Lawrence’s film is based.
Okay, so the good news about this is that the sequel may NOT happen. (Something I am crossing my fingers for.) Now, I saw ‘I Am Legend’ a couple of weeks ago. Half way into the movie, I was crying none stop (something very rare for a movie to make me do) and I thought Will Smith gave Oscar worthy performance in a movie that didn’t deserve it. Without giving too much away, if they were to do a sequel to the movie, after the events in the first installment, I can tell you that I would NOT be interested.
The CGI was crap. (Made the special effects in ‘The Mist’ look spectacular) I do not care to see more fake looking vampires…oops I mean, flesh-eaters (They should be f*cking vampires, damn it!) take over the world. The first ( and hopefully only) film was fine and should be left alone. I wish studios would realize that just because a movie made a sh*tload of money at the box office, does not necessarily mean people will be lining up to see a sequel.
Then again, that just might be me. What about you guys? Would you see ‘I Am Legend 2?’ (Note: Please giving a warning when posting spoilers in the comment section!)

Not just no, but hell no. Fuck no. No to the Nth degree, for infinitely large values of N.
The 2nd movie, in true Hollywood, we-don’t-really-know-what-we’re-doing-so-stop-noticing-it fashion, would pick right up where the 1st one left off. And the last half of that movie sucked. It sucked so hard that seasoned porn actors would have to look down and say, “Slow down there, Sparky. The teeth… I can do without the teeth.”
For the reasons you stated above, John. It ceased to be a poignant story right when we got a face full of zombie.

BIG WHOPPING SPOILERS!
What the hell? ‘I Am Legend’ was a huge hit because of Will Smith (and there’s no way he’s coming back as a barbequed zombie). Plus, his character spent the entire film trying to find a cure for the virus, which he did. Surely, the only way a sequel is going to work is by completely undermining the first film and saying:
“OH HELL NAAAAAAWWWWW, THE CURE DON’T WORK”
Oh, and i was pretty close to blubbing myself Serena at that part of the film i think you’re referring to. We lost our dog (not to a deadly virus but she died none the less) just 2 weeks before i saw the film, and we just lost our cat 2 days ago. So that part of the film hit pretty close to home for me. It’s always great when you can emotionally connect with a film in that way and i think everybody who saw ‘I Am Legend’ probably did in that mid-way portion of the film…
…so how are they gonna top that in the sequel? Hedgehogs perhaps; adorable little pet hedgehogs that catch the virus and then, realising the monters they’ve become, commit suicide by running into the middle of a busy road? Hey, this thing writes itself;)

Possible sequel leads (therefore ensuring suckability):
- The Rock
- Brendon Fraser
- Vin Diesel
- Steve Carell (as agent Michael Scarn)
- Marlon Brando’s reanimated corpse

There’s no way to do a sequel to this movie. The girl and the boy ended up in M. Night Shymalan’s Village with the cure so where could they go.
I liked the flick up until the dog died, and then the CG monsters came out and ruined it for me. Didn’t like the chick or the kid, or the lame ending. Despite the big box office, most of the people I’ve talked to hated this movie.

Nooo. Bad, bad idea.
However, I have to disagree that all the CGI in “I Am Legend” was crap. Yes, the vampirezombies looked pretty bad, but the scenery was incredible. They made NYC look like a wasteland, and it was believable. The film at least deserves some credit for that.

Aww…Phil Gee, I’m sorry to hear that. That part hurt me so bad…not just because of Sam dying…but because that was all Will Smith had in the world. :’( You should have seen me when he was trying to talk to the mannequin afterwards…( I was shaking to keep from bawling in the theatre)
And you’re right…the only reason why I didn’t leave the theatre pissed off was because of Will Smith, and not having him in the next film is just not worth it.

They will probably do some sort of prequel..showing the evolution of the disease from initial outbreak up until where the first one begins.
If you ask me, this is a bad idea. However, no one asks me. The studio saw how much money it made, so they’ll make another regardless.
Was the movie industry always like this? Hmmm..

Nah, the sequel would be primarily a movie about “rebuilding”. I’d prefer to see what happened in the 3 years after infection and before the current movie starts. I doubt I’m alone in this.

I think it would be terrible to do another I Am Legend. I loved it just as it is. I don’t think that they could even get Will Smith back for the film, he’s always setting himself for something more difficult and interesting to play in his roles. I’d love to see Will Smith as a superhero. I don’t think it is a roll that he has ever played and that he would do great at. Perhaps they can find a role for him in the Batman/Superman movie that I Am Legend purported to being playing in 2010!. He’d make a kick ass Man Of Steel.

Well…
How about setting it in another city, with someone other than Will Smith, that takes place at the same time as the first film? Just have a whole bunch of…infected chasing down one dude…who can’t cure a soul but just has to survive. in “I Am Another Legend”…hmmm? What’s that? I’m full of shit? Why….

My sister was so upset during the “please talk to me” mannequin scene that she actually had to leave the theater and go in the bathroom to take a breath. The dog dying really flipped her out, and that scene was the final straw. She has NEVER left the theater like that before, so I was pretty stunned.
The movie sucked BTW, so no, I wouldn’t watch a sequel.

The movie didn’t suck at all. Will Smith was amazing, the story was pretty good, but the CGI almost ruined the movie. Did anyone notice that every single time they showed a male creature he looked exactly the same?

I thought Legend was good up until the vampie zombie monsters came out of the wood work. The film completely lost me at that point. I would not see a sequel.

Has anyone read the book? If you have not please do so right now. As Hollywood does not shy away from doing they take an amazing book and completely fuck it. The whole title from the book takes on a whole new meaning in the movie. So he’s a legend because he came up with a cure? Wow ground breaking, amazing..oh wait not really. Read the book and find out what the title really means. You will be sad to see how amazing this film could have been.

Yeah..the book’s meaning of “I AM LEGEND” is way better than in the movie. Although, I don’t think the ending would have sat well with people at ALL though :P

—-Book Spoilers—-
Nearing the end of the book, Neville finds a female survivor and takes her back to his house. Although wary of her at first he begins to trust her, but she knocks him out and leaves. She was a spy for the ‘new civilisation’ rising from the ashes of ours, who come at nightfall and fatally wound Neville. They take him away and in the morning, bring him out to die in front of a crowd and he accepts his death, and his status as a ‘Legend’ in their new culture.
—-Spoilers End——
Really give the book a go. I loved it, and I loved the film too. I say the film is a good compliment to the book, even if it does differ greatly.
It’s also worth noting that the vampires in the book are of the classical sense, not the ‘infected’ we see these days…

Brandon you are missing one thing. In the new society Neville has become a monster to the new civilization. During the day as the ‘monsters’ sleep he goes from house to house killing them in their sleep. The woman that betrays him had her entire family killed by Neville.
He is a legend among them to be feared. Read the book. Even after having read the spoilers I still think it’s worth a read. I think it’d be nice for them to give a type of story like this a go. Audiences I think are drooling for something new and different and a truer interpretation of the book would have been just that.

NOW i understand why people who readed the book think so little about the movie!
I liked IAL and big willye and the dog!RSS..bove gived very good performances,the CGI dudes are generic but the NY abandoned city was amazing.
SPOILER ALERT!
I felt like had some history untold about the vampire civilization, somehow they are capable to make a inteligent trap to capture Neville but look so stupid when in hunt or walking at night .
And why they follow that leader when they are so primitive?and why the leader cared so much for the vampgirl?
Looking at this points after reading the comments above ,IAL looks a little weak comparing with what could had turn .
but still a good movie to see on the hollidays.

I watched I Am Legend the day it came out and liked it but I didnt love it. The trailer looked so good but the movie didnt deliver. After getting home from the movie there wasnt much that I could remember. For me it was worth the $10 but I could have waited to see it on dvd. If they made a 2nd one I dont think I would be interested in it. I would give the first one a solid 7 and thats just because of Will Smith. If he wasnt in it this movie woulda sucked. Plus after the ending to the first I dont know how they could do a part to with Will Smith.

People like you is the reason why we get crappy sequels like Fantastic Four Part 2, Rush Hour 3, and Resident Evil 3. The studios know that people will watch the movie so they dont have to come up with good material.

I’m glad in the fact that Richard Matheson would’ve received a bit of money in giving his blessing to a sequel, and that’s about where my goodwill runs out.
Except for the title and the lead characters name, this movie bore little relation to the (excellent) book.
—- book spoiler —-
Apart from the alcoholic scientist trying to discover a reason for the vampiric plaugue (in an urban setting), the whole book hinges on the fact that Neville doesn’t realise that HE’S the boogyman, the monster. And in taking his own life he realises that, to the New World, he’s now passed into legend.
It does make me wonder what the studios thought they’d gain from pretending it was related to the book at all?

i would go for a PREQUEL:
frame up on the final seconds of I am legend.
show Will Smith ready to detonate the grenade, and as he does, slow the frame down and have him close his eyes.
from that point let us see his life flash quickly in reverse until we get to the point where the helicopter was destroyed with his wife and child aboard.
movie will now be about his survival and the downfall of NYC.
movie ends with him securing his town house with the iron windows.
as he closes the last window we go dark, only to have him open his eyes explode the grenade as he rushes into the vampire crowd.
he will be legend

I have a question,in the book,
What neville does before the plague cames out?
Its the same in the movie (military cientist)?
or he is just someone triyng to survive?

your all going on about how this movie affected you in ways you never thought and it upset you but that shows its a good film:/
there is a sequel.
he gets cloned.
because they can’t figure out the cure.

@ Robbie,
No offense sir, but I think you should repeat the last part of your comment to a mirror if you have only negative things to say. If you haven’t noticed, this is a public forum where people can debate on the topic at hand…not tell people to (how you so “eloquently” put it) “shut the f*ck up.” If you don’t agree with the commentators, then do so in a mature matter. (Otherwise you’re are just showing your age) Also, can you please tell me where you KNOW for a “fact” that there is a sequel to the book and that Robert Neville gets cloned. I really would like to know where you got this information from.

The movie was brillient in my opinion…i haven’t read the book but i like th idea and i thought the CGI made a more impressive idea on the how the virus effects the body… it made them look slimy and just plain creepy… a good idea for the sequel would be to follow the story of the girl and the kid… everyone i have talked to about it really liked it and thought that it was good… i think it was more of a an 15-25 year old movie but i can’t wait for the sequel….

Well my opinion is opposite from you guys.
I Am Legend’s ending is really open; without any idea what happens next. If the continuation movie will be filled some “holes” which we hasn’t got any explain of them, my opinion - it’s welcome.

Oki so to put an end to all this Will Smith wont star in the second film.
Lets just put it this way, reliable sources (notice reliable) has let me know he has indeed signed up for the sequal so everybody chill out!
And this is perhaps something to think about, what if the sequel will actually tell the story up until the first movie started. It wouldnt exactly be the first time this happend in Hollywood..

Ok, i guess a prequel would be their only chance of making some money. If i had to choose between some lame twist where the cure doesnt work or a prequel between when his family first got killed to the beginning of I am Legend 3 years or so later. Id choose the prequel, itd be somewhat interesting to see how NYC became that desolate wasteland.

i personally disagree with what a lot of people are saying.
I saw the film today, and have already read the book a while ago and think the film was done very tastefully. I liked the CGI work - although it could have bin a lot better.
I think the ending kept very nicely to the book, and I think although Alice Braga (who played Anna) is not a very famous actor, she played the party brilliantly.
Will Smith should get an oscar or something for this because to be honest I dont think the film would have been quite so successful in the box office. Somehow even the almighty Bruce Willis wouldnt have filled the boots of the character. So a perfect choice with cast of characters all round. Ethan was a bit pointless though. they could have given him more to say, as well as Anna and given slightly more of their past.
I personally also liked the variation of straight vampirism to infection of a rabies variety with a slight vampire/mummy/zombie twist :)
BRING ON THE SEQUAL i say. As long as Alice Braga is still in it to carry on the story and have her as a main character, writers could come up with some story line that follows either:-
a) The colony seen at the end of the I Am Legend movie, makes contact with other colonies with survivors from around the world. Whilst doing this, the topic of the cure comes up, and nobody at the colony that was seen at the end of the I Am Legend film is qualified for the part of extracting the vaccine from the blood sample and making a vaccine to cure the infected, and so the colony must send a group of people (including Anna) on their way to collect the scientist from the other colony in order to bring him back to their colony where there is the equipment to find a way to give it to the mass population without having to capture each poor infected person and treat them one by one.
b) The colony work on a way to mass produce the vaccine but mid way through trying to find a way to make more vaccine, the infected fight up against the base colony. They must now fight off the infected whilst trying to work around the clock to create the vaccine as well as finding a way to administer it to a mass population quickly, racing against time while the onslaught of the infected attack their barricades.
c) A mixture of these 2 ideas
d) They come up with their own ideas and ignore mine lol.
Anyone like my ideas?

ooooo! I love lwr’s idea for a prequal. I dont know how to do the fancy quote thing, so ill just copy and paste it into here, but he said:
“i would go for a PREQUEL:

show Will Smith ready to detonate the grenade, and as he does, slow the frame down and have him close his eyes.
from that point let us see his life flash quickly in reverse until we get to the point where the helicopter was destroyed with his wife and child aboard.

movie ends with him securing his town house with the iron windows.
as he closes the last window we go dark, only to have him open his eyes explode the grenade as he rushes into the vampire crowd.
he will be legend”
I LOVE THIS IDEA :) i hope they either go with something along either the lines of this or one of my ideas :)

SPOILER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i think it would have been well possible to do another i am legend and make it good, but sadly they killed off will about 5 min before the movie ended, making a sequal hard, unless he somehow miraculously escaped, eg just before the grenade went the monster smahsed through the glass and he chucked the granade away, it blew up and the monster shielded him from the blast, the monster dies and he makes it out because he knows the rest will come for him.

I personally loved IAL…it left a lasting impression on me, and it is hard to explain. I agree that Will Smith made the movie, and I overlooked the CGI because the movie was about Smith’s character. I thought his character was amazing and it was a very emotional movie for me. I do thank the director for not showing Sam’s complete death because that would of been too much.
As for the sequel/prequel it just doesn’t sit well with me. I felt the success of the movie was very unique and another movie would only dilute what was created.
If Will Smith does agree to sign on, I would defintely go see it. I just don’t know where they can logically go with this, and the movie retain some of the emotional qualities of the first.

I am from India and I watch only famous Hollywood movies.
I liked I Am Legend and one of the reason was it’s ending… the movie E N D S !!! So, if you do a sequel or a prequel, it will be like - disrespecting the movie…
I cant say I won’t see the movie, but surely I would feel a bit crazy watching that stuff…
However, if Warner Bros. are so determined to go for a sequel, the better option would be to show any other part of the globe showing the same time & another country - as Darren said. ( May be INDIA & hrithik Roshan ) :-p

Mmmm.. I was wondering if I was the only one that got the darkseeker male that looked the same the whole time.
My view as I saw it was…
Will snatches a female darkseeker (well he saw afterwards it was a female) and then a male darkseeker exposed himself to the light. He burns a bit and goes back in. Will thinks it is the virus that makes them ignore their basic survival instinct to ignore the light.
Through out the rest of the movie the dude looks the same. I say it is the same guy. Will captured his wife / sister / kid whatever. The male wants the female back and sets a trap for Will. Hence the dog scenes. Will never realise this through out the rest of the movie. He thinks they are primitive, but yet they have a social structure. Reason for this conclusion. They have dogs, they obey the one dudes commands. Even when they at the end wants to get to Will, the male shoves them away and they obey and let the main male attack the glass. So Will has it wrong and dont realise this.
I must say the end is not that good. They could have let the main male see that the female was cured and have some other reaction. I dont believe they followed and attacked the house because they wanted to kill the people. I think they came for the woman and hence the male looked the same.

eric
of course there going to be a sequal, actualy a trinity
1)I AM LEGEN
2)WE ARE LEGACY; 2 soldiers (the boy that apperd in the first one with the lady and hes best friend) on the quest to kill all dark seekers and try to a find a better serum becuase the first serum works on certain people having a certain blood type.(they dont)but the dark seeker popullation has drop and human has rose
and last but not least
3)THE SAVEING; the soldier in the last movie (son of the mom in first)has to find the serum to save the world becuase the dark seekers are overpowering its the final chance

.......
Sequel would own. You all are idiots!
Will Smith can not die. Notice in the movie we saw him dive with the grenade. Then just explosion. They will have him do an awesome move where he throw the nade and is just wounded. Makes it to the compound to find hes a hero, but the flesh eating suckers are coming and they got to fight em off. They start to cure some people and one will provide some info about another group and the sequel will end up like the first Dawn of the Dead. or something, but in a totally more awesome way. I think a sequal would be better then first cause then there would be more zombie killing. I do think that Will Smiths character should die in 2nd movie. Then the kid who was deeply influnced will be the hero in the end, bringing about a wide spread cure of people.

IAmLegendRocks
What The Hell are you all complaining about ? Sure, the infected ones should have looked a lot better and realistic,BUT this movie Rocked anyways. It had a good story ( i have not read the book, but i liked the movie version ), Will Smith is my new hero because of his magnificent acting, and this movie was really entertaining. What else could you want from a movie. I did not go see this movie, expecting a movie that is top notch masterpiece (which it truly was) like God damn Titanic. It was a good movie, and i agree with people that are saying that the sequel should not be made, cos it would just ruin the first installment. But If they decide to make another one, than i will go see that movie,just cos the first one rocked so F*cking much… THE END !
* The seconds installment should be a standalone.
* I would not like to see a an old face, like The Rock,
Vin Diesel, or who ever.
* The new Guy should be a newcummer

The sequel version of your idea of a movie would suck ass.
It would be another typical hollywood Bullshit.
Will smith did not die, and would be a hero of some sort, and he had laser eyes and could fly ? WTF man. I hope that you were kidding. + If you were looking for more action and violence, than I suggest a Movie called “American History X” Lost of action and violence there.

Part 2? Dont think so, I mean I am a HUGE fan of will smith, but the way this one ended, it wouldn’t make a very good sequal at all, i mean, if it were the alternative ending i could possibly see another one come out, but other than that, I just done see it happening, but if so, I will more than likley go and watch it.

I dont see why everyone is complaining about a sequel. For all anyone knows, it could be a prequel. The movie was amazing and it is one of my favorite ones ever. I didn’t see anything wrong with the CGI. They were originally going to use actual actors, so be lucky you had computers put zombies in because I doubt real humans could throw them selves at cars and tip it over. The movie is most likely gonna be a prequel as to what the movie was during the first outbreak. If it is going to be a sequel, they might do one where it is from the other survivors point of view. If your biggest peeve about the movie is that Will Smith might not be in it, well then, I am on your side. Will Smith was amazing in this film, I actually connected with him and felt saddened when (SPOILER ALERT) Sam died.
Anyway, thats just what I think. Ask yourself if you could do the CGI better before you critisize it.

I loved the movie and I just recently bought it, and the only way I can think of they could have a sequal is if they used the alternate ending, which was not released in theaters so they couldn’t do that. The only other way that would make a good movie is if he was still alive somehow, I think without the main character from the first one it isn’t really a sequal. Now with that said maybe he didn’t die ?!?! maybe he tossed the grenade and used the leader of the infected as a shield o.O?!?!
Now if neither of the things above prevail, it could be a pre-quel, which could be good or could not be. Who knows, but don’t go putting the movie down before it is even made.
And yeah I teared up a bit in the “middle of the movie” because I am very close to my dogs, and I have a German Shepherd also =).

(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)i would see it for 1 reason to see what will people do with the blood that will smith made. i mean what are they going to do go and find every flesh eater(IT SHOULD BE VAMPIRES) and give them the cure. i don’t care if people make sequels to movies, its when people change the book around that pisses me off.

The best way to make a sequel out of this movie would be to use the alternate ending, cuz that one was AMAZING, i didn’t like the ending shown in theatres. If they make the sequel based on the original ending, well, it’s gonna be crap without Will Smith.

I really liked the movie. I, too, simply overlooked the CGI since I understood that the character was about the life of the main character, and not to dazzle us with effects.
Any sort of Prequal would, IMO, be just fine. The only way a sequel would work is if they started it with the alternate endine of the first movie (with hopes that audiences would either have forgotten the exact details of the first ending, or understand that it is the alternate ending), and then continued from where it left off.
But either way, Id see an I Am Legend ‘quel.

I just saw I Am Legend a couple of days ago and I have to say I’m quite shocked to hear there might be a sequel to this movie. I have yet to see the alternative (and original, I’m told?) ending but I think the ending as it is shouldn’t be changed.
I liked this movie quite a bit but I honestly wouldn’t go see a sequel that didn’t feature Will Smith. I think he should receive some serious kudos for this performance, it’s a shame he wasn’t nominated for an Oscar. True, the movie by itself didn’t deserve a nomination, but in my opinion he did.
Now, a prequel, that’s an idea that I do like. Why not tell us something more about how Robert Neville became the last man on earth? Maybe give a prequel a more psychological edge? I’d love to see more about Neville’s struggle against insanity (and maybe a little more about his contact with the mannequins, heh).

well does it have to be about will smith? but in the dvd edition he survives and he drives off with the kid and that chick to some place on some bridge. but if theyre not going with will smith. they can go with some other person. or that little village effs up because they followed that chick while they were driving or whatever. and the little kid can start the movie like 20 years later or something. idk. im just throwing stuff oout there so dont start trying to prove me wrong to make me look stupid.

Yeh i think the sequal will have will smith because i think they will go off of the ending in the alternate version where will smith lives.

(Type your comment here. Make sure you’ve read the commenting rules before doing so)If they make a part 2 they should tell the story how he survived all the stuff to get to where we meet him at.I mean ohter people survived at some point only to get killed.So how the hell did he make it so far?that would be a good story to tell.

Now here we go. It is in actuality possible to survive from a direct blow from a grenade. In reference to this please pick up Heroes (a book!) if you can read. In this book the author has done research to make sure his book also has factual information. We did not see Will Smith die from the explosion, that is just what you are all assuming.
I admit that it is highly likely that he is dead, and if they go through with this film a new lead actor will take his place. I just hope if they do they don’t go and use some fool like Ice Cube :S
