from Variety (and just in case... you know... there is a SPOILER in the article about the first film):

>WB plans 'I Am Legend' prequel

Will Smith, Francis Lawrence to return for film
By MICHAEL FLEMING

Warner Bros. has set in motion a prequel to the Will Smith starrer "I Am Legend."

The plan is for Smith to reprise his role as scientist Robert Neville, with Francis Lawrence returning to direct. Akiva Goldsman and his Weed Road banner will produce with James Lassiter, Smith’s partner in Overbrook Entertainment.

The studio has set D.B. Weiss to write a script that is based on a detailed outline that was hatched over the past few months by Smith, Goldsman, Lassiter and Lawrence.

The prequel will chronicle the final days of humanity in New York before a man-made virus caused a plague that left Smith’s character the lone survivor among a mutated mob in the city.

Making a prequel was the only way to extend a franchise that grossed $584 million worldwide for Warner Bros. and keep Smith in the lead role. His character was killed in the first film, after extracting a potential cure for the virus for the scattered survivors.

Weiss at present is scripting the adaptation of Neil Strauss’ book "The Game" for Spyglass Entertainment. He’s also working on a project for Relativity, "Kashmir."

The original ending made more sense. It's like they took the bad ending and found a way to make it worse for them.

Mech

And if he didn't die at the end of 'I am legend'
y'all would have BITCHED about how it was too fairtale-ish

Goddamn y'all some irrational hatin motherfuckaz
seriously

Shit is going to be heat

The original movie itself was mediocre at best, which really unravelled itself in the second half. Once the first CGI vamp showed up= over.

If they could have worked the original ending into the movie (which, if you weren't going to use that ending, why bother using the title that refers to it) it would have been much better.

Either way, they did so well with the post apocalyptic landscape, its going to be interesting to see how in their eyes, humanity got there. Director wise at least. Script wise...I have fear.

It had all the right elements. And yeah, it was corny, but that's what to expect from a movie like that.

Zombies don't exist, y'know? *wink*

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

*Effasig*

I really liked the first one. was it perfect, no but it was very entertaining and kept my interest throughout.

I agree, if Will hadn't died people would have complained the the ending was too Hollywood and happily ever after.

he didn't die, and the reason the vamps and the leader were after him in the end was cos he had his girl. he realises it and lets the chick vamp go, n the rest of em go and leave Smith alone. it raises more questions about their condition, and whether or not they have completely regressed to mindless animals or if they could still feel emotions and have a decent intellect. i honestly thought him getting killed in the end was the "Hollywood ending". the hero and the bad guy actually empathising with each other worked better. with the ending we got, the vamps are mindless monsters, and Dr. Robert Neville died to save...two people? that makes him 'legend'?

if he was legend, he woulda survived.

showed that the vamps weren't mindless monsters, like Neville though they were. they developed relationships, social connections, etc. The whole reason the head Vamp came after him was because Neville snatched his girl for his experiments.

I do think the Alt ending would have been better, but i was satisfied with the original ending. Probably because I hadn't read the book before I saw the movie.

Because the movie was not about the social connections
of vampires.

It was an origin story, but not of a super hero, but
of a legend.

Its how biblical stories began.

It about how fables began.

By the courageous self-sacrificing acts of people,
who centuries later are told in lore and in folklore.

That's what the movie is about.

In the ending of the movie, the one they
presented, we have the woman, her son, going
off to civilization with the antidote. When
they ask who did it, they tell the story of
Will Smith, and now humanity has their new
Jesus.

The same way Will was inspired by what some
people call a matry(bob marley...sorta a martyr),
Will Smith will be remembered as such.

Even better, only two people in the new civilzation
have ever even seen him.

Its actually a beautiful ending, to a wonderful
movie.

The problem is that you nerds and sci fi dweebs
want the film to be about shit it ain't about,
because you're nerds.

Not hating, but its true.

>To tell us how the origin originated?

Actually, yes;

For settings that are unique and interesting,
prequels can effectively explain how it is
that the world became that way. This is why
there have been many stories about Krypton
before Superman was born; because we all know
the Superman story, but few of us know the
context under which he was born, what their
conflicts, were, etc.

The only reason there aren't more stories
about Krypton is that it was written a long
time ago and is quite frankly, very corny.

'I am Legend' doesn't suffer from that; its
world is actually quite interesting, and can
be told with a provocative and interesting
story.

EVEN BETTER:

GIVEN THE THREAT of infectious pathogens today,
IT COULD EFFECTIVELY SEND something of a message
to ACTUAL HUMAN BEINGS TODAY.

It would pick up right where the intro left off,
with that woman scientist proclaiming that she
cured Cancer.

Also:

We'll be able to see the RISE of Dr. Neville,
who if you remember, was on the COVER OF TIME
MAGAZINE with the title: "The savior?"It was
on his refrigerator in 'I am Legend'.

There is LOTS that can be done with a prequel,
and it can be a more elaborate, chaotic version
of 'Outbreak', with more sci-fi.

A more modern, less punk-ish '12 Monkeys.'

The shit could be john fuckin BLAZE.

The problem is, you guys are mad, and nerdy,
and just want to be mad and talk about the
social hierarchy of vampires.

Very lame.

That didn't make a grain of sense.

So, the actual ending was the best one for the movie
that was made.

Thanks for agreeing with me, because ain't nobody talking
about the goddamn book.

We're talking about the Will Smith movie.

If someone else wrote that, you'd call them a dweeb. You're entire post of what would be cool reads as nerdy as what these other guys are talking about.

When they don't make that movie and just make another zombie movie will you complain people were expecting too much and "It's a Will Smith movie"?

I love how you say that what I wrote didn't make sense and then say that it agrees with you. WTF?

People who know the story were hoping it would stay true to the book. When you just watch the alternate ending, people clamor for it because it is closer to the story. But they didn't faithfully adapt the story so tacking on the ending wouldn't have really made sense.

So the point stands:
- The actual ending fits the movie they made.
- The alternate ending keeps fans of the story happy but it doesn't fit the movie that was actually made. If you want the alternate ending, you basically need an alternate film in front of it to make it work.

Nothing Dweeb-like about being a smart, informed story.

What makes the people in this post dweebs is the
fact that they are TRYING to be smart about
IRRELEVANT BULLSHIT like vampire social structure.

Nobody gives a fuck, seriousl

>When they don't make that movie and just make another zombie

>"It's a Will Smith movie"?

No, I'm merely suggesting avenues that they COULD
EXPLORE

They don't have to do anything in order to make a good
film.

They could go in a whole nother direction


>People who know the story were hoping it would stay true to
>the book.

I personally LOVE when movies are creative and try
newer and fresher approaches and don't rely on
the book.

That's because book fanclubs are often
comprised of nerds who are out of touch
with reality

The alternate ending would have sucked from a
film point of view

The people who wanted the alternate ending are
just being book nerd loyalists

>When you just watch the alternate ending, people

Exactly. Their being nerds.

Okay, but for the film that was made, the actual ending
is better, in which case I'm curious why you exist
on earth right now

Nah, the original story would have resonated today, especially about the war on terror. The supposed good guy actually terrorizing people and becoming the villain. It's not just some fanboy bullshit that they hoped for. You saying that, is like Nick saying you'll like anything Will Smith.

The biggest problem with the original story/script is that it's too hard to make into a movie. It needs to be a mini-series and in that case is too expensive. It's why they keep trying to adapt the original story and keep fucking up.

In the original story, he was more active in hunting the vamps during the day.

When shit eventually hits the fan, they pull him out kicking and screaming and he notices that most of them are looking at him in fear and he has an epithany. While he thought they were just mindless monsters, the reality of the fact is they were just trying to deal with the disease that changed him. THATS the reason why 'I am Legend', he was their ultimate boogyman, the last normal human on earth.

That's corny as fuck.

It was much better that he was NOT the last normal human.

That would have been cheesy and retarded.

The way they did was much smarter: some humans, for
reasons we don't know, have immunity to the virus.

That actually makes scientific and rational sense.

And what TRULY MAKES HIM A LEGEND IS HIS ACTIONS,
NOT MERELY THE FACT THAT HE WAS IMMORTAL or the
LAST PERSON ON EARTH

That was the ENTIRE MORAL TO THE MOTHERFUCKIN STORY:

DEEDS dictate your legend. SACRIFICIAL DEEDS.

Not SUPER HUMAN POWERS.

Just like BOB MARLEY and other great people.

It was their DEEDS and their SPIRIT

And Neville did that when push came to shove


Goddamn you motherfuckers are retarded

FOH, lol.

Only thing that saved this movie was the first half when the Vamp's serum, etc didn't matter. And that was him doing his Tom Hanks impression in Cast Away.

Second it tried to touch anything even close to a plot, you could smell the shit in the theater.

Half the shit from 'Star Wars' was lifted from other fiction
and folkore

Still dope

That's because smart people understand that
It ain't gotta be original to be dope, kitko.

Its context

and telling the origin story of a legend
in that context was brilliant

Not to mention that is FAR LESS LIKE the
Jesus story than anything you've ever seen
because at the end of the day Will Smith
was MORTAL, UNLIKE Neo in the Matrix
and Anakin, etc

Goddamn I'm good

>Only thing that saved this movie was the first half when the
>Vamp's serum, etc didn't matter. And that was him doing his

Except unlike Tom Hanks he was a SCIENTIST ACTIVELY
SEARCHING FOR THE CURE for the virus. He wasnt just
dicking around on an island fishing and shouting at a
goddamn volleyball. I mean, goddamn, what type of
dickhead are you? How are you going to leave out the
most siginificant aspect of the film and then flippantly
compare it to a snoofest like 'Cast Away?(no that 'Cast
Away' was bad, but it was rather boring)

>Second it tried to touch anything even close to a plot, you
>could smell the shit in the theater.

However, it was a milestone to 'BIGGER BETTER FASTER' action blockbuster that we know and love now. The OG popcorn movie. Legend doesn't get that pass

Only thing compelling in the movie (which is why I made the Cast Away example) was the first half, when it was simply a man trying to come to grips that, 'Holy Shit, this is it, this is the end of humanity'. The visuals, his little day to day interactions=Solid Film.

Second the dog wandered into the cave and they started moving the plot forward, it failed on multiple levels. The CGI, the cliche'ed woman and child in distress, etc.

The fact he was mortal doesn't make a difference. No matter how superpowered the character is, for it to be a proper hey-sus movie he's gonna have some super flaw to bring him down to earth anyway. Be it The Last Temptation, Matrix, I am Legend, Braveheart, etc

You do realize you are praising Will Smith summer blockbuster movie on it's storytelling.

Nerd man,

an entire generation of people fell in love in Star Wars
SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE of the STORYLINE and CHARACTERS and
THEME all of which were COMPELLING.

If it was just the action, motherfuckers wouldn't
be writing books about the philosophy of Yoda, and
their wouldn't be books and classes taught about the
Eastern roots of 'The Force' and Darth Vader wouldn't
be used as a case example in philosophy courses on
EVIL.

It actually *was* well thought out and intelligent, far
more than your favorite nerdfest.

The reason you won't admit that is because STAR WARS
IS TOO POPULAR, and so you CAN'T POSSIBLY ADMIT THAT
IT HAD DEPTH. You NEED YOUR DEEP MOVIES to have been
watched by 4 people who are as cool as you(not at all).

Sometimes POPULAR SHIT is actually, GOOD, nigga.

STAR WARS WAS GOOD AS SHIT.


>Second the dog wandered into the cave and they started moving

LOL???!!!!

"women and child in distress?"

MOTHERFUCKER THEY CAME TO *HIS* RESCUE

WHAT IN THE FUCK IS YOU SAYING??

AND THE GIRL WAS GANGSTA AS FUCK HANDLING HERS
ON THE DOLO

Wasn't nothing about that "in distress."

WILL SMITH, if anyone, was IN DISTRESS

I mean, how can you look at yourself in the mirror
with this creative hatred?

Eh. Vast oversimplification, but you are the guy who
just summarized the mother and son in I am Legend as
"women and child in distress," and so its clear that
you're an idiot.

>You do realize you are praising Will Smith summer blockbuster

^^^^PRECISELY MY POINT

You have a problem with the MERE FACT THAT I'M PRAISING
A BLOCKBUSTER

Like I said: You are a NERD WITH SELF ESTEEM ISSUES:

You can ONLY LIKE things watched by 4 people.

If more than 4 people like it, than its too commercial,
and not nerdy enough for you.

You're like a mad backpacker rapper, the film version.

Seriously.

I Am Legend is about the fact that he's the bad guy, the ultimate evil. It's a great role reversal.

But it's a completely different movie than I Am Legend. In fact, I Am Legend was a spec script and the original story combined. To avoid all of this they should have chosen a different title but whatever...

The original story is more interesting IMO. But it's kind of pointless to compare the two because they made a different movie.

If Will Smith starred in that one, you'd be bitching

>I Am Legend is about the fact that he's the bad guy, the

Fine, make that into another movie.

The one that was made was better, more interesting,

Right, so why the fuck are you comparing them?

And the original could have been about Tele Tubbies,
and you'd say it was more interesting than the
Will Smith movie, because you are nerds who refuse
to like Will Smith movies, just because they are Will
Smith movies.

No, you are saying that the ending for the movie was

ending for a movie that doesn't exist.

In a vacuum, I Am Legend was what it was: a decent but not great popcorn flick.

The original story had more potential. The original script did as well. I can see why people are upset about how the film turned out.

What I can't see is how people would hold onto the story's ending when it doesn't fit the rest of the film "I Am Legend". That shows that they aren't watching the film, they are just wanting as much of the story to make the screen regardless of whether it fits.

But honestly, you're defending a film when you don't even know what the source material is and you just dismiss it as dumb because it hurts your argument. You're being as big of a dweeb as they are.

They should have just changed the title and none of this would be an issue.

nah, he becomes a legend to the infected 'vampires', just like vampires are a legend to us. none of them can go out in the day, but he's this strange creature that stalks them in daylight & hunts them down when they are vulnerable. to them HE'S the monster, the aberration from the natural order as they know it, who is immune to daylight which to them is terrifying.

and it would've been more difficult to tell that story, and much more interesting.

but that said, I liked the movie as-is, and I liked Will Smith's performance quite a bit. this is the movie that convinced me to stop hating Will. I can't think of another actor who could've pulled it off in terms of acting & screen presence any better than he did.

being a monster legend to the vampires still better though. I've wanted to read the book since I heard what the original story was.

Right, as a BOOK.

Not as a MOVIE.

Too confusing. Would have been 4 hours long. Too
many hooks, too much shit to keep track of. That's
fine for a novel, not for a film.

Shit like that never works in films.

You admit to liking 'Star Wars' and its good for the
same reasons 'I am Legend' was: Straight forward
conflict, interesting thing, told directly, with
provocative, but digestible, themes.

No super uber reversal of logic bullshit.

Too confusing.

Again - regular people don't care about social
hierarchies of vampires. Too nerdy. Perfect for a
BOOK.

Regular hood niggas came out of 'I am legend'
inspired. I know because I seent it like opening
night in the Bronx. Niggas was walking out of there
feeling like better human beings.

No, that would have been a huge catastrophe as a film,
which is why it was scrapped. Directors read that shit
and were like "eh, no thanks."

I find the actual film to be more profound in part
because it focused on something digestible, and nailed it.

it's a short novella. there's no reason it would be too much for a movie or make the movie too long.

social hierarchies has nothing to do with it. actually there were social hierarchies of vampires in the movie - the alpha male who set the trap for Will & got him thinking that maybe there was more to them than just being completely mindless zombies.


>Regular hood niggas came out of 'I am legend'
>inspired. I know because I seent it like opening

I didn't know regular hood niggas was such a highly targeted hollywood demographic.

>and were like "eh, no thanks."

it would've been a catastrophe if it was handled poorly. so unless they were gonna handle it right, maybe it's better they just did it the way they did. like I said, I enjoyed the movie as-is.

I'll reserve full judgment until I read the book.

___________________

Mar-A-Lago delenda est

It's a short novella but it would be VERY hard to make into a 2 hour movie. I think the film did a great job showing Neville's isolation but that took half of the movie. You can get across a lot of stuff in a paragraph of a novella that will take half an hour to truly get across in a film. You'd also have to introduce the two types of infected/vampires, show Neville's connection to the kid (who isn't in the film), it's just a lot to do.

As it is, the film is an hour and forty minutes and it isn't nearly as involved as the story in the book.

----
NBA MOCK DRAFT #1 - https://thecourierclass.com/whole-shebang/2017/5/18/2017-nba-mock-draft-1-just-lotto-and-lotta-trades

as I said I'll reserve full judgment until I read the book.

and I'm cool with a 3 hour movie if it's good and actually serves a purpose & is engaging for that length of time, but I know that's not the way hollywood works, so again maybe it's best they just did the movie like they did instead of trying to do to much & fucking it up.

I didn't know he died at the end


oh well guess i'm never watching this movie

¿If a fat guy falls in the woods and there is no one around to see it, do the trees laugh?

Niggas are in there talking about how I am Legend
should have had more in-depth
cross examinations of the social interactions
of the diseased vampires, complete with mechanistic
explanations for why such and such didn't die here,
with physiological explanations for their reluctance
to come out during the day and shit.

What these dweebs, nerds, and geeks don't understand
is that Vampire movies are NOT SUCCESSFUL because of
those stupid ass details, but ONLY IF they have an
inspiring, interesting HOOK.

The reason why 'I Am Legend' made BANK(who's mad?)
is because it was INSPIRING and had an ill subplot,
and a reluctant hero. The shit was an excellent
ORIGIN STORY, but not of a super hero, but of a
LEGEND(how many films have actually done that,
seriously? Mad?)

From listening to you nerds and dweebs nitpick,
its clear why the MATRIX TRILOGY FAILED:

the Wachowski sisters listened to their
nerdy ass fanbase(like y'all) and put all sorts of
bullshit, irrelevant details in the last two films
instead of focusing on what made the first one a
great film:

It was INSPIRING and made regular niggas want
to question reality and shit, and challenged
them to do so(not me, of course, since I been
a renegade from jump, but I digress).

Look, I'm a bigger nerd than all y'all niggas put
together in REAL LIFE and I don't need my goddamn
MOVIES to be like that, kitko.

Yeah, movies gotta be SMART, but y'all be taking
the shit too far.

with both breakdowns of The Matrix and I am Legend. What made him legend is he invited the cure that saves all humanity. Dude becomes the Black Jesus and white people mad.

Hundreds and thousands of years later people will be talking about Will Smith and how he saved humanity, stayed behind in enemy lines, lived amongst the vamps to find a cure. That is some legendary shit. The alt ending was way too Hollywood and does not make Wills character very legendary.

And "Hollywood" was actually more "artistic" than
the Sci Fi nerds because what "hollywood" did was actually
more thought provoking and interesting than that bullshit
I'm hearing about that was in the book and in the script.

Sometimes "Hollywood" is actually right about
some things.

Here is one of them.

That story that the nerd camp keeps insisting was

An actual argument!

You can also argue that the movie ending is closer to the original story because Neville becomes legend through his death. The alternate ending is actually MORE of a Hollywood ending. We'd hear arguments about "Wait, why they just leave him alone when he'd been killing all of them?"

The alternate ending almost makes the film "I Am Not Legend" because everyone apparently is getting along at the end.

Now, because you won't admit it, you calling ME a

What gimmmick? Sticking by a solid, organized argument?

LOL.


Got anything else?

Other than that, I don't see where you pointed out the argument that the film was too hard to make in earlier posts. Maybe I missed it but you were too busy just saying shit was corny or calling people dweebs.

I missed where you said the other ending was more Hollywood.

I mean, you also called the film an origin story by saying:

"We'll be able to see the RISE of Dr. Neville,
who if you remember, was on the COVER OF TIME
MAGAZINE with the title: "The savior?"It was
on his refrigerator in 'I am Legend'."

So THAT would be the origin story. Calling I Am Legend an origin story is just plain wrong. The prequel would tell how everything originated.
