The rumor mill’s-a-spinnin’, kiddies!!  And what’s being ground up and mutilated this time?  Well if it’s true then the victim may turn out to be the I Am Legend prequel… or dare we say sequel?  Ain’t It Cool News has some insider information from an unknown source, which indicates this movie is going to make about as much sense as David Lynch’s Inland Empire.  Here’s what the insider has to say:  “Let's start at the beginning.  [Will, the actor] 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 f**king sequel!”

Um… bescuse me?  Take said information with a grain of salt, as it’s yet to be confirmed, but if this is the direction that Warner is taking, it’s pretty out there.  I actually really like the idea that Will Smith supposedly came up with.  While I thought Will Smith turned in an incredible performance in the first one, I thought there was a lack of things you could do with the story because seventy-five percent of the movie was just him by himself and you obviously can’t kill him off.  But on the other hand, if done right, a sequel could be quite interesting.  I think the best you can do is let this storm run its course and see what Warners gives us when it’s all over.
