One of these initiatives is a brand new \u201cI Am Legend\u201d sequel movie, which can star Will Smith and <strong>Michael B. Jordan<\/strong>. \u201cBut wait,\u201d you might say. \u201cHow is there a sequel starring Smith if his character dies at the end of the first film?\u201d Well, it seems Goldsman is able to go along with the alternate ending, which was launched on on Blu-ray, the place Smith\u2019s character survives. Not solely does that ending work finest for the sequel as a result of it brings again the unique star, as effectively, but it surely additionally extra intently follows the occasions of the unique supply materials.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis will start a few decades later than the first,\u201d Goldsman defined. \u201cI\u2019m obsessed with \u2018<strong>The Last of Us<\/strong>,\u2019 where we see the world just post-apocalypse but also after a 20-30-year lapse. You see how the earth reclaims the world, and there\u2019s something beautiful in the question of, as man steps away from being the primary tenant, what happens? That will be especially visual in New York. I don\u2019t know if they\u2019ll climb up to the empire state building, but the possibilities are endless.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/theplaylist.net\/i-am-legend-covid-vaccine-myth-20210810\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">READ MORE: \u2018I Am Legend\u2019 Screenwriter Flabbergasted As People Use Plot Of The Movie To Defend Anti-Vax Claims<\/a><\/p>\n<p>He added, \u201cWe trace back to the original Matheson book, and the alternate ending as opposed to the released ending in the original film. What Matheson was talking about was that man\u2019s time on the planet as the dominant species had come to an end. That\u2019s a really interesting thing we\u2019re going to get to explore. There will be a little more fidelity to the original text.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course, there\u2019s not a lot else to say concerning the movie at this stage of improvement. Clearly, sufficient time has handed that an older Will Smith works higher due to the aforementioned \u201cThe Last of Us\u201d vibe that Goldsman is striving to realize.
