STYD got the chance to speak to "I Am Legend" director Francis Lawrence, who revealed that he is already thinking about an "I Am Legend" prequel, which Will Smith said he would return for. "Yes, yes, absolutely, we're actually trying to crack that. We're trying to figure out some ideas for it, but yes, it would be a prequel," said Lawrence.
He went on to reveal some ideas that might go into making the prequel. "In the prequel, it's slightly different because it's earlier. We were three years later so we did a lot of research into the way nature would have sort of overtaken the city, with the cracks in the streets and the weeds, so if it's just back earlier, it'll be slightly different so the approach will be different. We're not positive of the time of the year, because if you go in winter, you can do some entirely different kinds of things."
Lawrence also said that he would love to work with Richard Matheson ("I Am Legend" novel author) again. "I'm sure we'll definitely keep him involved in the prequel just in terms of updating him and inviting him to read the script and see what he has to say."
