There has been a lot of speculation on the internet over the past several weeks pertaining to whether or not the next I Am Legend film would be a prequel or a sequel. At Comic-Con this past summer, director Francis Lawrence confirmed that they were working on a prequel, but then rumors started coming out about how it would actually be a sequel. The way I Am Legend, a sequel seemed highly unlikely, but now we finally can lay all the rumors to rest. During a press junket for Will Smith’s upcoming film Seven Pounds, Collider talked with Smith, who revealed that the film will be a prequel, and focus on the fall of the last cities: Manhattan and D.C.:
“We’re still trying to work through a couple of bumps in the story,” said Smith. “It’s essentially the fall of the last city – the last stand of Manhattan. The movie would be… within the body of the movie D.C. and then Manhattan would fall as the last city. It’s a really cool idea trying to figure it out… there’s a reason why we have to take a small band and we have to get into D.C. So we have to make our way from New York to D.C. and then back to New York.”
