What Insane Ideas Were There For ‘I Am Legend 2’?
“I mean, we wrote a prequel [and] a sequel. We had a really interesting prequel, which was the first outbreak of the virus, during a Thanksgiving Day parade, which was awesome. We did a really interesting prequel that [took place] later. Which was right after the first… really right when the population of of humans became pretty decimated. And it was this sort of trek to Washington. Which included a dark seeker elephant that had broken out of the zoo.
Then we did a sequel, that started with Neville again — and you realized that he was cloned. We’ve tried every which way. In fact if you’re available you could be in the next movie. It will never happen but we really enjoyed trying to make it happen.”
Clones, killer elephants, and a Thanksgiving Day Parade massacre. Interesting.
After seeing I Am Legend, did you have a hankering for more of that world? Would you have followed a continued franchise? Personally, I enjoyed the film, but it felt like a one-and-done deal. Anything after that would’ve felt like it was milking it. How about you?
