Warner Bros' I am Legend is getting a reboot

Ever since I AM LEGEND hit theaters and grossed over $500 million worldwide, Warner Bros. has been trying to figure out a way to do another movie, which isn't the easiest task considering how the Will Smith film ended. At one point there was talks of a prequel, but according to Deadline, the next I AM LEGEND movie will now be a reboot.

The site has also learned the reboot will not star Will Smith, and it will be based on a retrofitted spec script written by former iPhone salesman Gary Graham called A GARDEN AT THE END OF THE WORLD. Apparently Graham's Blacklist script (which has been described as "a sci-fi version of John Wayne’s THE SEARCHERS") and I AM LEGEND have similar themes and mythology, so…why not, right?
