‘I Am Legend’ Prequel Officially Dead

Back in 2008, Warner Bros. began work on an I Am Legend Prequel, bringing back the team of star Will Smith and director Francis Lawrence which brought in a worldwide gross of $584 million the first time around. The film would 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.

Word on the film had been non-existent until today, when an interview with Lawrence revealed that he is no longer involved and that he doesn’t “think [it's] ever going to happen.”

The news isn’t particularly surprising, as the idea of a prequel featuring the outbreak of the virus didn’t really catch many people’s interest. Considering what direction the film’s theatrical ending would’ve taken the franchise, I can understand from a financial standpoint why they would go for a prequel. This late in the game, it would be confusing to general audiences to go bill the (much better) alternate ending as a jumping off point for a sequel, plus there would be no way to intelligently incorporate Smith as the lead.

The prequel could, of course, be revisited later on by a different director / creative team but for now, consider it dead.

In 2009, Paul Blom and Sonja Ruppersberg filmed a short clip of a werewolf transformation for their South African Horror Festival. The clip garnered so much praise and accolades (Director John Landis even gave it his thumbs up), that the two decided to expand on the premise even more. They took the opportunity to use some of the footage (along with newly shot material) to make a music video for their band, Terminatryx.

On top of creating this music video, they shot a short film, ‘Marked’, that utilized the help of Clinton Smith and many other at Cosmesis Prosthetics (the people behind Laconia, Death Race 2, and The Last House On The Left remake). The debut of ‘Marked’ won them the Audience Choice Award as well as the Best Special Make-Up FX award at the South African Horrorfest. The short movie will be up featured HERE.

The duo are currently gearing up to write a feature length screenplay.
