This story broke yesterday and for some reason every movie blog on the internet is reporting it. It comes from one of AICN’s infamous anonymous sources, one who even they say is untested. And he has some *important* news about the I Am Legend prequel.
Let’s start at the beginning. Will 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-cking sequel! [AICN]
So, to recap, some random guy on the internet says a movie in which Will Smith dies at the end is going to have a sequel, and everyone reported on it. Join us tomorrow for exclusive commentary on the dump I just took! Ooh look, there’s some nice marbling on this one…

The title had to be changed from “I Am Gonna Be a Legend,” to “I Was a Legend.”
Can’t we just wait until you’re pooping perfect cylinders, Vince?
Movie title: Legends Never Die – Even though I did.
Not pictured: the laser-sight from my sniper rifle.
He dies at the end…?
Is it just me, or does Smiff look like he should be directing traffic in Blade Runner?
Forget Smiff, who’s the tranny?! Rowr!
So, will this sequel consist of a post-post-apocalyptic apocalypse?
Well this change is pretty insane, the film is no longer a prequel, it’s a f-cking sequel!
This one sentence managed to make me angrier than anything I’ve read about the economy this month.
Thats Celine Dion
Burnsy, why are you listening to AICN? Its like wrestling with a retard
If these two ever collaborated on a movie theme song, the movie would make a bajillion dollars, and I wouldn’t ever be able to leave my apartment again.
I was doing my best to explain this post to my parents. They just didn’t understand.
Pictured: Will Smith fresh off his New Jack City screen test.
Not only did Will change the movie from a PREquel to a SEquel, he has his cap on backwards and he’s wearing sunglasses indoors! What a wacky character!
More like a suckuel!
/Oh man, when I have nothing, I really have nothing.
How is it that Will Smith was never the spokesman for Oreo cookies?
Is it just me, or does Smiff look like he’s about to pressure wash my driveway.
Oh, wait, he’s not Mexican! Silly me.
Do my eyes deceive me or do those leather trousers/recycled car seat covers have an elasticated waistband? Not good.
oh man i hope they put kevin james in this one!!
Will is pretty fly for a white guy. Wait, he’s black? Hell naw, Celine Dion and he are the same color in that photo.
I’ll be photoshopping a grenade into this picture later.
Is it just me, or does Smiff look like he just left the MC Hammer estate sale?
Is it just me, or does Smiff look like you could use those pants as a prophylactic?
HOLY FIDDLE FUCKS!!!
Will touched Dion and got… spazfinger!
or maybe Whoopi Goldberg could play Legends sassy momma
Is it just me, or does Smiff look like if you sat on his lap in shorts in the summer when you got up you’d lose a layer or two of skin?
No, Bex, Will Smiff would have to be in a fat suit and drag to be his own sassy Mama. Thats how they do it now.
Flava Flave and Celine Dion together in the new Broadway musical, “My Heart Will Go On, Yo.”
Have I mentioned that I fucking hate these two?
Is it just me, or does Smiff look like he just left the MC Hammer estate sale?
Yes. He actually bought that outfit as part of a ‘mystery box’ marked “Stuff I bought at the Eddie Murphy estate sale”.
Even Kadeem Hardison thinks that outfit looks ridiculous.
Celine Dion is the primary reason I have never seen Titanic.
Celine: “Come wit me to zee hotel room, my stallion noir, Celine needz your masculinity.”
Smiff: “Aw, hell nah, Jada’s waitin up for me.”
Alfonso Ribeiro (offscreen): “Ooh, me, me! I’ll do it!”
I know what you mean about the fat-suit, Eibz but why use that? Split screen is too cheesy nowadaays… plus it’ll put Martin Lawrence out of a job.
Cuba Gooding Jr in: I am a Person who will be remembered for something but there will be a doubt if i was a real person at all or just a “Legend” if you will
Stone, the boat sinks. There, now you know.
I haven’t seen it either. I refuse
Stoney, we’re kindred spirits, you and I.
Jacktion! – tell me something I didn’t already know.
When are you coming back to NJ? We can pretend that we’d make plans to get together and jam or something.
Eib – don’t fucking ruin it for me. I’ve got 28,234 Discovery Channel shows Tivo’d.
I’ll be back for a week or so around Christmas.

If the sequel is going to be 2 hours worth of looking at Will Smiff’s charred corpse, then there actually probably is an audience for this film (Alabama).
Fuck me if I don’t love me some late 80′s/early 90′s chick hair.
New, old balls, up.
J – From what recesses of your brain did you pull the name Kadeem Hardison? The only good thing to come out of his show was a new appreciation for how well Robin Givens could take a punch.
IT’s because Will Smith is a lot like Tom Cruise. Not only do they both believe in the great lord Xenu (I mean look at that suit, it screams I <3 Aliens) but you actually can’t kill them on film. Last Samurai my ass Cruise. He’s only died in Taps, and that was a hundred years ago.
Next thing you know they’ll have the dog somehow had puppies (one of those lonely nights cuddling in the bathtub I guess) and he’ll have a German Sheppard sidekick with really big ears.
