Michael B. Jordan says the script for I Am Legend 2 remains to be being written, however he’s “actually excited” about working with Will Smith.
It’s been over two years because it was first introduced that Michael B. Jordan could be becoming a member of Will Smith in I Am Legend 2, and the actor has offered an replace whereas talking with People.
Earlier than you get too excited, it doesn’t sound like I Am Legend 2 goes to be heading our means anytime quickly, as Jordan mentioned the script for the sequel remains to be within the means of being written. “We’re nonetheless engaged on the script and getting that as much as par,” Jordan mentioned. “It doesn’t have a launch date or something like that. I’m unsure precisely the place we’re going to be filming that one, however I’m actually excited to get in entrance of the digital camera with him. Being someone that I’ve appeared as much as for a extremely very long time, to have the ability to work with Will is one thing I’m actually trying ahead to. I’m actually excited.” The script is being written by Akiva Goldsman, who co-wrote the primary film with Mark Protosevich.
Loosely primarily based on Richard Matheson’s novel of the identical title, I Am Legend starred Will Smith as a U.S. Military virologist who struggles to develop a remedy for a virus that has worn out most of mankind whereas additionally defending himself from a bunch of nocturnal mutants. Whereas the theatrical model ended with the loss of life of Smith’s character, the sequel will go together with the alternate ending wherein he survived.
Final 12 months, Goldsman advised Deadline that the sequel would happen a “few many years” after the primary film.
I’m obsessive about The Final of Us, the place we see the world simply post-apocalypse but additionally after a 20-30-year lapse. You see how the Earth reclaims the world, and there’s one thing stunning within the query of, as man steps away from being the first tenant, what occurs? That might be particularly visible in New York. I don’t know in the event that they’ll climb as much as the Empire State Constructing, however the prospects are limitless. We hint again to the unique Matheson e-book, and the alternate ending versus the launched ending within the unique movie. What Matheson was speaking about was that man’s time on the planet because the dominant species had come to an finish. That’s a extremely fascinating factor we’re going to get to discover. There might be just a little extra constancy to the unique textual content.
Will Smith not too long ago mentioned that Jordan and himself “had a pair weeks collectively a few month in the past. I believe it’s trying good. [We have some] actually strong concepts… I believe we’re going to make it on display collectively. That dude is the reality, so I might love to try this.” It’s been some time since I watched the film, however I do recall having fun with it, at the least the primary half, with Smith’s character surviving alongside his canine. I’m curious to see the place a sequel may go, and with over fifteen years of CG development, I’ve received to imagine that they’ll really be capable to give us extra lifelike Darkseekers this time.
