I am Legend 2 - prequel/sequel/resurrection

I would prefer to watch a Prequel about how the virus was generated and evolved in between the time people got sick. It wouldn't make much sense to have a sequel because we saw how Will Smith's character killed. But in the DVD extra there was an alternate ending where Will Smith's character wasn't killed but was brought to the compound too. But that wasn't shown in the theater release of the movie.

I wasn't a big fan of the first one but would go for a sequel rather than a prequel as I think they explained enough about how the virus occurred and developed. Also although Will Smith died in the film, the DVD version of the film does have an alternate ending.

I would say though they would have to think a great deal about the storyline to come up with a plot to justify a sequel or a prequel

Should this be true, I'm opting for a sequel. It would be interesting to find out how the writers and Director(s) try to piece up all the pieces once Will Smith's character has died.

Will be interesting to find out whether the world does get back into 1 piece and everyone starts to come back to their homeland and stuff like that. The first movie was a hit for me and even though it's fictitious, I love it..

Well, logically if the studio want a box office movie with Will Smith play the character again, they will make a prequel, but if they decide to make the sequel, I guess Will Smith will only go as a producer, unless they decided that Will Smith survive the fire and other irrational things happened lol. But I think if it is made as a sequel, the only that will happened to the movie is another action movie like terminator or Resident Evil, kill the zombies! Actually, they key attractiveness in I Am Legend is about how they captured Will Smith loneliness living alone in the city for almost first hour of the movie. If they decide to bombarded the sequel with action, it will yet another wasted sequel. So I vote for the prequel, it seems much more interesting storyline

Yes, probably you are right. If they will be able to make up with the new sequel of I am Legend part 2, it should have been a movie that will tell the audience on how Will Smith survived the catastrophe.

I thought that it will be a flash back on the first part, but it wasn't clearly stated and showed. I was after the scene about how his faithful dog saved him and the poor creature died. But anyway, back to the movie, it should be better this time.

I would be left hanging if the movie would be focusing something else. I hope they give justice on how people survived and how to combat it too. Happy Mylotting.

That's pretty cool. i have watch i am legend quite a few times and some how it feels half empty with out knowing how the virus spread and kill every one on the planet. should make one but it has to be better than the first part.

(shudder) The first one had a great story line, but it is not the type of movie I can see more than once. It really freaked me out actually! Especially the part where he's in the building and you don't know what's going to pop out of the darkness! Oh and that poor dog! I felt so terrible watching the dog fight scene. I'm not sure I can handle another movie like this. Like I said, it was good, but my husband refuses to watch it ever again, and I doubt he'd watch the sequel/prequel, and I never have time to watch a movie by myself unless it's family friendly!

In my opinion, 'I Am Legend' needs a prequel to fill in the blanks that were absent in the first film. I realize that the main character had a developed history as to what happened to his family, however the true essence of genesis of the outbreak was absent. The first film was after the major catastrophe/ occurrence which caused the whole series of events that took place in the film. Basically, the effects of such an outbreak were shown in the original film. That makes the movie powerful in the scope of such devastation and impact of the main character's independence, however it would help deepen the universe/ story when the whole story was told. Hopefully an encouraging decision will be made which will make the second film better, or as good as the first. It is great to hear that such a movie is getting a second chance to continue the idea of survival and independence. These genres of movies I find to be very inspiring, in the idealism that the characters are built in a more 3-Dimensional way. In essence, to me the characters in these survival type of movies have more depth to them other than that of adventure movies, or any other related genre. You can allow yourself to know an important/ pivotal individual instead of a spectrum of three or four less thought out people. I'm looking forward to seeing the outcome of this movie, now. Thanks for the heads-up.
