People might disagree but I am Legend has got to be one of the best movies I've ever seen. It's no doubt in my top 5.

There was apparently going to be some kind of prequel but the idea was quickly forgotten and I'm not quite sure what happened to it...

Anyway, that link should explain everything except how they'll actually make a sequel with the same Robert Neville... - If you know what I mean. ;D

I enjoyed I Am Legend as well so this is good news.

Awful...honestly I hated it, sorry lol.

Everyone's got their faves, but I Am Legend top 5 all time?  Yep, gonna have to disagree.

I thought it was a CGI-riddled, crapp version of one of the greatest vampire novels ever.  It was really disappointing to me because I love Matheson's original story and I also thought Omega Man was an interesting take on the source material.

But the Will Smith version was a disaster on every level, IMO.    

;D I'd never read the book or watched the other adaptations so maybe that's why I enjoyed it so much.

The alternative cut was based on the book I think? and I preferred that instead of the official one.

Guess we'll just have to wait and see how the sequel turns out.

Also, thanks Bert for changing the title. ;D I wasn't sure how I should write it if it hasn't got a title yet :-/

Not a fan of that movie whatsoever!

Ditto.

i enjoyed the first half of the movie quite a bit.....but when the girl showed up talking about the "utopia" it kinda lost me.

I remember recommending Legend to some friends. After they watched it, they basically said"WTF were you smokin? Thanks for wasting two hours of my life."

Lost some credibility as a movie critic to say the least. I still stick to my guns, though. I liked the film. Funny how people either really like it or hate the hell out of it...

amen brother

apparently will smith won't commit until there's a written script. then again, what does he care? he's too busy making movies for his kids to star in...

is that why he passed on Django Unchained?

Will Smith is an idiot.

Quoted from nawazm11 It's no doubt in my top 5.

Revalue that list, Mo ;D

I did like the movie so it will be interesting to see where they take this but I always thought he died at the end?

;D I have a very strange top 10, Steve. You wouldn't want to see the other movies I have on there! Some people here might have a heart attack ;D.

They actually shot two endings, the alternative one shouldn't be too hard to find on google.

Quoted from Penoyer79 is that why he passed on Django Unchained? Will Smith is an idiot.

For not committing?  I think it's insane to commit without the script.  What if it sucks?  

He's not hungry for work.  He can afford to pick and choose.

i heard he passed on it because of the subject matter....

he never saw a script??? that certainly changes things if thats so.

It's disappointing Smith didn't get involved on Django. Not a huge fan of Foxx. Rest of the cast seems excellent, and to be fair, Foxx is actually a strong actor. He was good in Collateral and Ray. Nowhere near the range of the hugely underrated Smith, though. Smith showed his chops with I Am Legend, Seven Pounds and Pursuit of Happyness.

Perhaps Smith's waiting for a tie-up with Cruise before working with Tarantino.

I live in hope.

Cheers man, watched it last night. Have to say I preferred the original ending. :)

At least his wife is hot :)

always a strong selling point in Hollywood!


Phil

I suspect Will Smith had moral reasons for not signing to Django. The script sounds utterly grotesque with or without Tarantino's name attached.

Anyway, I have no idea how a sequel to I Am Legend is supposed to work, at least with Smith involved. As I understand it, the ending of the book and the movie are the same. Neither really leaves a door open for a Part 2. I suspect a prequel or a transition that makes no sense.

Never saw the original. Will Smith is enjoyable enough but I have no interest in a CGI laden adaptation of a classic horror novel that couldn't been produced for dirt cheap.

Sex sells Phil, sex sells.... and I`m first in line :)
