Director Francis Lawrence confirmed to ShockTillYouDrop.com over the summer that plans were in the work for an I Am Legend Prequel, and now Will Smith is speaking out about the story.

In an interview with Collider, the actor says "It's essentially the fall of the last city – the last stand of Manhattan. The movie would be...within the body of the movie D.C. and then Manhattan would fall as the last city. It's a really cool idea trying to figure it out...there's a reason why we have to take a small band and we have to get into D.C. So we have to make our way from New York to D.C. and then back to New York."

He says they're still working out the narrative kinks. And it will indeed be a prequel, not a sequel as was recently reported elsewhere on the web.

The Day After Tomorrow with vampire-like people? What? This movie doesn't need prequels or sequels, even if Will Smith is involved.

Come on, this is ridiculous...I loved I Am Legend. But this is so unnecessary.

[Kingdom]

Yeah.

I think I've said this before, but we already saw the whole ****ing story of how NYC got wiped out.

I guess they want us to sit through a detailed destruction while a bunch of people travel city to city in search of to do whatever. I don't know. It'll make money cause it's a big budget Will Smith movie but it'll be as pointless as Bad Boys II
