I Am Legend Prequel shaping up!? - Page 3

Smith's performance made the first film, so the only way this could work is to bring in a talented actor of Smith's caliber to play as compelling a character (though it was mainly due to Smith's performance).

Doctor Jones · 11-24-2008, 04:09 PM

A prequel? This is going to take place before the first one? So all we're gonna see is Neville in a lab with other people trying to prevent it?

COAL TIGER · 11-24-2008, 06:37 PM

This movie was entertaing but it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. And it was also too short. I wished they had've kept it closer to the book because the book is better. But since they're planning on making a sequel or prequel I guess they can make this one better.

No sequel, how they bringing him back alive is beyond me unless it's a dream

Lord Blackbolt · 11-24-2008, 06:46 PM

If it's going to be a sequel they will probably say he survived the Bomb.

Are talking about the original ending in the movie where Nevile lived? It wasn't closer to the book. In the book Nevile took the pile and killed himself.

The girl from the first movie, Anna, kills a bunch of the creatures absorbing their energy during the Quickening. In the process, she summons Neville back to life.

It could work. .............

it's one thing to stray from the book, in which the movie does, then make a sequel to make a franchise out it is too much for me. Samething with 'Wanted'.

dude love · 11-25-2008, 01:20 AM

Does a sequel necessarily have to have Will Smith? Why not a former military colleague of his and have Will Smith appear in flashbacks?

It could be a good chance to make up for the godawful CGI.

Octoberist · 11-25-2008, 01:42 AM

the CGI was BAD huh?

who did them? Rhythm and Hues along with Sony Imageworks are the WORST in the biz..

Eh I wont say that. *Cough*Hydraulx*cough*. It depends on the direction. If they've got a pedantic perfectionist with rage issues you get Solaris, LOTR and X-Men 2, it with the typical studio directors you get The Mummy 3, X-Men 3 type dodgy SFX from those guys.

Um wha...Is this shee-it mysthical?

WeaponXProject · 11-25-2008, 09:51 AM

It would crack me up if they stuck with the first movies alternate ending and went on from there. Will Smith sucks at picking summer movies.

Doctor Jones · 11-25-2008, 03:44 PM

Didn't Sony Imageworks do SM2? I thought SM2 has still one of the best CGI ever.

The Apatow Crew · 11-25-2008, 05:07 PM

So I just got done watching the alternative version of the film. And I liked the alternative ending instead. Whoever decided to use the ending they put with the one in theaters is I don't know what to say.

The movie still sucked compared to the book though...well the movie sucked altogether. I think Will Smith should give up on this. This is a terrible idea to do a sequel or prequel to this.

But I agree the other ending makes more sense but still it doesn't have the feel as the book does of Neville being feared by the vampires. It does have the new race of man feel though.

The Wanted movie was an abomination to the Gaphic Novel.

IAL had some of the best CGI to me.

AVEITWITHJAMON · 11-26-2008, 05:40 PM

A prequel is the only way they could get Smith back involved and WB know its the only way the movie will make any money, THATS why they are doing a prequel rather than a sequel. But who knows, it could be good, I enjoyed the first movie, thought the acting in it was superb, and 50% of the effects were as well.

But if it's a prequel, what the hell are they going to show us? Will Smith being a scientist and nothing is happening because we saw what happened from the start in the first film? Or will they kind sneak this in as set between the sh** hitting the fan, and what was the present in the last film?

citizenpain · 11-26-2008, 09:38 PM

prequel or sequel, either way, this is a terrible idea.

but it is a sequel, is it not?

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 ****ing sequel!

the article also touches on the fact that the anti-plague toxin could be what brings neville back to life. like i said, terrible idea...

The Guard · 11-26-2008, 09:38 PM

A prequel makes sense, as most of the material not in the film was before the incident. A sequel makes very little sense.

The Squirrel · 11-26-2008, 09:49 PM

How do you bring him back to life from the tiny bits the grenade exploded him into?

I'm not saying its a good idea dude, just saying what I think makes most sense, they should just leave it as one movie but if they ARE going to make, a prequel would be the only to go IMO.

Now that would just be ****ing retarded.
