Precuela para "Soy Leyenda"

Warner Brothers ha dado luz verde para iniciar la filmación de una precuela para su éxito del año pasado "I am legend", la tercera adaptación al cine de la obra de Richard Matheson, los rumores de ésta posible precuela se dejaron escuchar desde la San diego Comic-con en Julio cuando Francis Lawrence, el director dijo:

"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."

También hablo de su elección de la ciudad de Nueva York:

"Akiva and I really wanted to do 'Legend' in New York, because it's such an iconic city and it's just more striking to see it abandoned than Los Angeles, 'cause honestly, parts of Los Angeles can look abandoned in the middle of the day."

La precuela todavía se encontraba en un plano de muchas posibilidades, porque incluso no sabían cuanto tiempo antes de los eventos de la primera cinta la desarrollarían o en que época del año:

"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."

Acerca de la relación con Richard Matheson, él dijo:

"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. Matheson was very happy (with the first movie). It was a great moment when we showed him the movie. He had read the script and I invited him when we were done to see the movie and he brought his family, and I called him when we were on the international junket in Japan and I was really nervous, because it's an adaptation and it's different, and he knew along the way, it's Richard Matheson. He really loved it and I had this great letter from him about it."
