Will Smith Probably Not Appearing In 'I Am Legend 2'

Warner Brothers has been working with producer Akiva Goldsman since the early part of 2012 on developing an 'I Am Legend' sequel. The 2007 film, yet another interpretation of Richard Matheson's phenomenal story, starred Will Smith as, ostensibly, the last man on Earth; spending most days battling those former citizens of the planet who are now mutated monsters. It seemed likely the studio would again enlist Smith's services for the sequel, but that presumption now looks to be unfounded. In a recent interview with the BBC, Smith expressed his feelings about the sequel. He noted that not only is he not involved with it at this time, but he would also "probably not" be in it at all. He indicated a desire to avoid becoming "the sequel guy."

So...you don't want to be the sequel guy? So I guess 'Bad Boys II,' 'Men in Black II,' and 'Men in Black III' are all, what, creative re-imaginings? This aversion to followups bodes ill for rumored projects like 'Hancock 2,' 'Bad Boys 3,' 'I, Robot 2,' and the 'Independence Day' sequel ('Labor Day?'). I will say that I appreciate him being a little more discerning about the projects he takes on, but mostly because almost all of those proposed sequels to his previous films sound like terrible ideas. Yes, even 'Bad Boys 3.' I think 'I Am (Still) Legend' would have been the most ill-advised of the bunch. If we continue along the line of reasoning that he is no longer the last person on Earth, the hook of the first film would be entirely lost. It's just too bad they rejected my spec script for 'Bagger Vance: The Legend Continues.'

What do you guys think? Would you see an 'I Am Legend' sequel without Will Smith? Would you see one with him?

all those sequels sound like a terrible idea..but better then a wild wild west sequel..the thing is i am legend and independence day both are an established worlds.so i dont see how they could expand...though with i am legend you have more wiggle room..but with bad boys and men in black you have a universe that isnt set so new characters and villians wouldnt diminish the previous films..if that makes sense

He was kinda dead at the end of the first one.

Give him his money, he'll change his mind.

@Jacob well ive read the book, and they pretty much covered everything to cover in the first film. so i guess this would be a complete original story for a prequel? yeah, not too excited about that

Comment by Lunatik on June 14, 2012 at 6:04pm

thats funny, I remember after Independence day he said he didnt wanna do anymore scifi Alien movies.

Comment by Chadwick Candle on June 14, 2012 at 6:04pm

Thats him nicely saying "THIS MOVIE SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCKS"

Comment by Jacob on June 14, 2012 at 5:53pm

@31 its a prequel to I am Legend

Comment by Scott W. on June 14, 2012 at 5:52pm

Well, he also died...so there's that...

Comment by Ferry2dead on June 14, 2012 at 5:24pm

now they want to make a sequel.  REALLY?  REALLY?

Comment by Allan, Dane of Thrones on June 14, 2012 at 5:22pm

Akiva Goldsman, huh? *looks him up on IMDb*

Oh, he got an Academy Award for writing 'A Beautiful Mind'. Nice. And he produced 'Lost In Space', 'Deep Blue Sea', 'Constantine', 'The Losers', 'Jonah Hex', and wrote 'Lost In Space', 'Batman Forever', 'Angels & Demons' and 'Batman & Robin'...

We're all doomed...
