Early Plot Details For ‘I Am Legend’ Prequel/Sequel?
This morning AICN got an inside tip regarding the storyline for Warner Bros. Pictures’ I Am Legend II, which they’re jokingly referring to as II AM LEGEND (kinda awesome). Beyond the break you can read a little bit about what the plot follows, but they do note that the source isn’t a regular scooper, so make sure to take it with a grain of salt. The sequel is set to be directed by Francis Lawrence, who reteams with star Will Smith.
From an Aint it Cool News tipster:
“Let’s start at the beginning. Smith is actually the one who developed the initial story. It took place several years before the original film and there were still pockets of survivors and the story centered around Smith interacting, bonding, and ultimately failing to save them. For months this was the story. Warner’s didn’t much care for it and Smith and Weiss eventually came on board and all parties agreed to change things up. Well this change is pretty insane, the film is no longer a prequel, it’s a fucking sequel!”

Dario Argento’s Next Horror Movie Stars Isabelle Huppert and May Be the Bloodiest of His Career
It seems that Italian horror master Dario Argento is directing a brand new horror movie, and it also seems that Oscar-nominated actor Isabelle Huppert will be starring. But we know almost nothing about the movie at this time, as it has no title and isn’t even on IMDb yet.
So what DO we know about Dario Argento’s next horror movie?
It was in 2022 that Argento revealed the project at FrightFest, telling the crowd that his next would be a remake of a 1940s Mexican thriller… but he didn’t name that movie at the time.
As FrightFest co-director Alan Jones tweeted back in August 2022, “Just to clarify what Dario Argento exclusively revealed at FrightFest last night; his new movie will be shot in Paris, it’s a remake of a 1940s Mexican thriller and he won’t publicly reveal the title just yet.”
It was then in October 2023 that Isabelle Huppert revealed she would be starring in the mysterious Dario Argento movie. The actress said, “I am very happy to be making this film with him; he is such a strange and original director, but for now, I can’t say anything more.”
The latest update on this mystery project from director Dario Argento comes courtesy of an interview with Argento from the Italian outlet Adnkronos that was published last month.
The outlet asked Argento the following question: “You’re shooting a film with Isabelle Huppert and you’ve said it will be your bloodiest film yet. What will it be like?”
Argento’s response? “It’s a very strong, very bloody film. Isabelle Huppert is gorgeous. An actress of unheard-of class. I’ve seen everything she’s done, cinema, television, and theater.”
“It’s a spectacle to see her,” Argento added.
In addition to his upcoming return to the director’s chair, Argento will be producing three new horror movies: Flesh of My Flesh, The Girl with Crystal Eyes, and The Black Velvet Mask.
