 I Am Legend 2
This feels very random but apparently I Am Legend 2 is now happening. They've all signed and now looking for a director. Looks like Smith's post Oscar film. Quote: EXCLUSIVE: Warner Bros. is upping the stakes on its I Am Legend franchise to a stratospheric level. For its next chapter, the studio is bringing back not only original star Will Smith but also Black Panther actor Michael B. Jordan in what will rep the duo’s first big movie together as stars and producers. How will this do? The first one was massive but that was peak Smith. Will I Am Legend with its post apocalyptic setting resonate post pandemic? Source: https://deadline.com/2022/03/i-am-legen ... 234971302/

 Re: I Am Legend 2

 Re: I Am Legend 2
It's either going to be a massive watercooler pop culture phenom or flop if its too dark and people don't want to relieve the early 2020s. I don't see much middle ground here.

 Re: I Am Legend 2
I'd like to see them actually make I Am Legend rather than whatever the first Will Smith movie was.

 Re: I Am Legend 2
Is this going to be a prequel or are they just going to pretend the ending didn't happen and he's still alive?

 Re: I Am Legend 2
First reaction: Bomb since it's been so long, and while the first film did well, is it really remembered by many?
But it's at least interesting enough to not write it off entirely without knowing more.

 Re: I Am Legend 2
I think combo of Will Smith and Michael B Jordan sounds pretty appealing. If it looks good I could see it doing well.

 Re: I Am Legend 2
Empire is reporting WB isn't moving on this after Joker 2. Strange but they are suddenly going to be very risk averse on $$$ star driven projects.

 Re: I Am Legend 2
All they need to do is not cast Lady fucking Gaga and they're fine.
Although maybe it's too early for 00s nostalgia sequels while we're still working through the 90s. They've got Lethal Weapon 5 to get across the line yet.

They look stupid and have no practical use. Also, not everything is about wokeness. Hughes and Phoenix are the ones that made this abomination. If we let them off the hook, even humorously, some clown exec in Hollywood might give them another $200M check.

 Re: I Am Legend 2
Zombies have been played out on TV and he was supposed to die at the end of the first movie anyway, so maybe it was a risk (and yes I know I said earlier in the thread it'll be big)
Maybe make I, Robot 2 in the AI era.
