Production
[edit]Earlier plans as a reboot
[edit]In April 2014, Warner Bros. Entertainment bought Gary Graham's original spec script, A Garden at the End of the World, described as "The Searchers with sci-fi elements", with Roy Lee and Brooklyn Weaver producing under their Vertigo Entertainment and Energy Entertainment banners, respectively, alongside Jonathan Krauss.[1][2] In October that same year, Graham was asked to rework the screenplay to become a reboot of I Am Legend (2007), while Weed Road Pictures' Akiva Goldsman and Overbrook Entertainment's James Lassiter, both of whom produced the 2007 film, were added as producers with Safehouse Pictures' Joby Harold.[3]
Development
[edit]In March 2022, the film was announced as a sequel instead of a reboot with Will Smith reprising his role and Goldsman returning as writer from the first film, while Michael B. Jordan will co-star and produce with Elizabeth Raposo under their Outlier Society banner, with Smith, Jon Mone, and Ryan Shimizaki producing under Westbrook Studios, and Goldsman and Greg Lessans produce for Weed Road Pictures.[4] The film will follow the alternate director's cut ending.[5] In July 2024, Steven Caple Jr. was in contention to direct the sequel.[6]
