I Am Legend 2???

I Am Legend, the Will Smith-starring sci-fi thriller, could be getting a sequel... and the first one hasn't even come out yet.

Apparently, original screenwriter Mark Protosevich, who originally wrote the adaptation of Richard Matheson's 1954 horror/sci-fi novel ten years ago, has pitched a sequel to Warner Bros., according to The Los Angeles Time. Protosevich originally wrote the screenplay for Ridley Scott and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and was hired over the years to tweak the script for other directors.

However, Akiva Goldsmith was brought on in 2005 and re-tooled the film and moved its setting from Los Angeles to New York. Director Francis Lawrence's version is now coming to theaters in December.

I guess this means that Will Smith survives the first movie. I don't know what a sequel would entail, but the upcoming movie I Am Legend definitely looks cool. The movie trailer kicks butt, and Will Smith hardly fails in films like this.

Movie trailer review: I Am Legend

A movie that has flown under the radar until its spectacular teaser trailer release a few days ago, I Am Legend stars Will Smith as the last man alive on Earth. He lives in New York with his dog, but after some kind of disease wipes out the rest of humanity, New York isn't quite the prestigious address it once was. As the trailer indicates, though, he may not be alone - is there an alien on the loose?

The movie trailer for I Am Legend is excellent. It's short, to-the-point and eye-catching. The movie starts out looking like some standard futuristic adventure film, and then quickly turns one on you to show a desolate New York stripped of human life. The commentary by Smith is great, and the final scene, where we see Smith realizing that there may be other intelligent life not too far from him, is great. Will it turn into a standard alien film? I hope not, but I Am Legend certainly has potential.
