Michael B. Jordan says the script for I Am Legend 2 remains to be being written, however he’s “really excited” about working with Will Smith.
It’s been over two years because it was first introduced that Michael B. Jordan can be becoming a member of Will Smith in I Am Legend 2, and the actor has offered an replace whereas talking with Folks.
Earlier than you get too excited, it doesn’t sound like I Am Legend 2 goes to be heading our approach anytime quickly, as Jordan mentioned the script for the sequel remains to be within the strategy of being written. “We’re still working on the script and getting that up to par,” Jordan mentioned. “It doesn’t have a release date or anything like that. I’m not sure exactly where we’re going to be filming that one, but I’m really excited to get in front of the camera with him. Being somebody that I’ve looked up to for a really long time, to be able to work with Will is something I’m really looking forward to. I’m really excited.” The script is being written by Akiva Goldsman, who co-wrote the primary film with Mark Protosevich.
Loosely based mostly on Richard Matheson’s novel of the identical identify, I Am Legend starred Will Smith as a U.S. Military virologist who struggles to develop a treatment for a virus that has worn out most of mankind whereas additionally defending himself from a bunch of nocturnal mutants. Whereas the theatrical model ended with the loss of life of Smith’s character, the sequel will go together with the alternate ending wherein he survived.
Final 12 months, Goldsman informed Deadline that the sequel would happen a “few decades” after the primary film.
I’m obsessive about The Final of Us, the place we see the world simply post-apocalypse but in addition after a 20-30-year lapse. You see how the Earth reclaims the world, and there’s one thing stunning within the query of, as man steps away from being the first tenant, what occurs? That will likely be particularly visible in New York. I don’t know in the event that they’ll climb as much as the Empire State Constructing, however the potentialities are countless. We hint again to the unique Matheson guide, and the alternate ending versus the launched ending within the unique movie. What Matheson was speaking about was that man’s time on the planet because the dominant species had come to an finish. That’s a extremely fascinating factor we’re going to get to discover. There will likely be a bit extra constancy to the unique textual content.
Will Smith just lately mentioned that Jordan and himself “had a couple weeks together about a month ago. I think it’s looking good. [We have some] really solid ideas… I think we’re going to make it on screen together. That dude is the truth, so I would love to do that.” It’s been some time since I watched the film, however I do recall having fun with it, at the least the primary half, with Smith’s character surviving alongside his canine. I’m curious to see the place a sequel might go, and with over fifteen years of CG development, I’ve received to consider that they’ll truly be capable to give us extra reasonable Darkseekers this time.
