Warner Bros. In some manner Planning Another I am Legend for Will Cruz

Sooner or later carrying out a critical and commercial success of his 2007 publish-apocalyptic blockbuster I am Legend, director Francis Lawrence entertained the thought of coming back with star Will Cruz for prequel, but eventually that possibility trailed off and Lawrence casted doubt onto his participation while using potential project. These days Warner Bros. introduced a deal with Akiva Goldsman and Overbrook Entertainment, who've attracted on film author Arash Amel to produce a follow-around the $584M hit. Whether it will likely be a prequel or some type of direct follow-up is unknown, climax apparently being created for Cruz. Let's speculate away: Exactly how WB may well accomplish another installment? Exactly why is the project a curious -- and, frankly, conspicuous -Body might be the strategies by which Lawrence ended I am Legend, based on Richard Matheson's 1954 sci-fi novel. [Spoiler alert] Undertaking a worldwide pandemic that destroyed 90% in the world's population, investigator Robert Neville (Cruz) had only discovered an answer when, within the film's conclusion, he faced an onslaught of mutated vampire-people solo and apparently met their very own demise. Clearly WB wants their star and also the infamously potent box office draw to headline another I am Legend movie. A prequel would explain Smith's presence most easily, but Deadline signifies that won't be. Precisely how might they bring Cruz back otherwise? Retcon the ultimate scene inside the first film, while using the alternate ending through which Neville makes grudging peace while using vampire thingies? Maybe the kids colony has cloning capabilities? Hell, why not produce a extended-lost twin brother for Neville who increased being a great virologist too - I am Also Legend? Whatever it calculates being, no less than it provides a shot at being "the most effective movies available,Inch amirite? Warner Bros Plans More I am Legend With Will Cruz [Deadline]
