Francis Lawrence confirms ‘I Am Legend’ prequel

Although Francis Lawrence attended this year’s San Diego Comic-Con to present NBC’s new series “Kings,” the director had plenty of other things to chat about. One of them was a prequel to “I Am Legend.”

According to ShockTillYouDrop.com, Lawrence is already working on ideas for a prequel to the recent big-screen adaptation of Richard Matheson’s famous novel. “We're trying to figure out some ideas for it, but yes, it would be a prequel,” he said.

In the article you can read here, Lawrence also briefly talked about what it’s like to shoot in New York City and how different the approach to designing the environment would be in a prequel.

“I Am Legend” took home about $256.3 million domestically, which is why this is no surprising news to me. I didn’t really enjoy the flick and don’t think the world needs a sequel or a prequel, but at least I’m glad Lawrence said Will Smith would be interested to reprise his role as Dr. Neville.
