Posted: May 3rd, 2011 by WorstPreviews.com Staff
We've been hearing a lot of news about the sequel to Keanu Reeves' "Constantine" and the prequel to Will Smith's "I Am Legend," both directed by Francis Lawrence. MTV has now caught up with Lawrence to find out if they are actually happening.
"'Constantine' has this cult following, which has been great. It's been embraced," he explained. "It would be great to figure out a sequel, and if we did, and we've been trying to figure one out, it would be great to do the really dark, scary [version]. We got caught in that weird PG-13 - R no man's land, and we should do the hard-R scary version, which I would love to do."
Regarding the "I Am Legend" prequel, Lawrence simply said: "No, I don't think that's ever going to happen."
"Constantine" grossed $230 million on a $100 million budget. "I Am Legend" grossed $585 million on a $150 million budget.
