Fantastic thriller "I am legend" will receive a sequel

Akiva Goldsman, producer of the 2007 box office hit I Am Legend, has confirmed work on its sequel has begun. The main stars this time will again be Will Smith and history newcomer Michael B. Jordan.

Let me remind you that according to the plot of the first film, sustained in the dystopian genre, the scientist Robert Neville (Smith) unraveled the tangle of cause-and-effect relationships of a deadly epidemic that turned people into zombies. According to Goldsman, in the sequel, the authors will return to the origins of the book of the same name by Richard Matheson and again demonstrate New York after the apocalypse, but several decades later than it was in the first part.

I Am Legend 2 will be Will Smith's first return to work since punching host comedian Chris Rock in the face at the Oscars last year. Smith was severely rebuked for his intemperance and was forced to apologize publicly several times. Although during the incident, he tried to protect his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, after The Rock's failed joke about her alopecia.
