The Will Smith version of I Am Legend was actually the third adaptation of the 1954 novella by Richard Matheson.
Smith has since ruled out returning for a sequel, so the odds of I Am Legend 2 happening now are very slim.
None of the prequel/sequel concepts for I Am Legend got director Francis Lawrence excited, the filmmaker has revealed.
The original ending to Smith’s I Am Legend revealed the creatures stalking Smith’s scientist are actually sentient, and he’s been the one hunting and killing them.
