U.S. actor Will Smith will again embody the main character of the film “I Am Legend”, last winter’s big box-office success, but this time in a feature film in which the action takes place before the first.

Smith, who’s birthday was two days ago (he’s 40… omg… 40 and he looks so good!), will be the scientist Robert Neville, supposed to be the last man on Earth after a plague hit men. The new film, as the first shot by Francis Lawrence, portrays precisely the last days of humanity.

The first in the series (because I also presume an “I Will Be Legend”, lol!) had reported $ 584 million of revenue in the entire world, but, as noted in Variety, turning the result would have been difficult because the character of Robert Neville dies at the end of “I Am Legend”.
