I Am Legend 2 Gets an Exciting Update From Its Star
It’s been over a decade since the last installment of the I Am Legend franchise, but fans of the post-apocalyptic thriller have been eagerly awaiting news on a potential sequel. And today, we’re thrilled to report that the wait may finally be over.
Will Smith, the star of the original 2007 film, has given an exciting update on the status of I Am Legend 2, sending fans into a frenzy of anticipation. In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, Smith revealed that the script for the sequel is finally complete, and that he’s been in talks with director Francis Lawrence (who helmed the first film) to get the project back on track.
"I’ve been talking to Francis Lawrence, and we’re getting close," Smith said. "We’re getting close to making it happen. The script is done, and it’s really good. It’s really good."
While details on the plot are still scarce, Smith did hint that the sequel would explore the aftermath of the events of the first film, which saw him play Robert Neville, a lone survivor of a global pandemic that turns humans into mutant creatures.
"I think the next movie would be about the rebuilding of society," Smith said. "It would be about how we come back from the brink of destruction and start to rebuild. It would be a really powerful message, and it would be a really powerful story."
The original I Am Legend, based on the novel by Richard Matheson, was a critical and commercial success, grossing over $585 million worldwide and earning Smith a Golden Globe nomination for his performance. The film’s unique blend of action, drama, and horror elements helped to establish it as a modern classic, and fans have been clamoring for a sequel ever since.
With the script complete and Smith on board, it’s clear that I Am Legend 2 is moving forward. While no official release date has been announced, fans can rest assured that the wait will be worth it. As Smith himself put it, "We’re getting close, and I think it’s going to be a really great movie."
Stay tuned for more updates on I Am Legend 2 as they become available. In the meantime, let’s take a look back at the original film and its haunting trailer:
