Such as the apparent leader of the diseased… He seemed to have been some type of authority type but he also seemed to have a great amount of hatred for Will’s character. They could definitely jump into this deeper and explain a ‘possible’ connection…

Also, I can only assume that this film will focus on the days after he lost his family, which would make perfect sense. We never truly saw the evolution of the creatures from human to diseased. And also, it never explained why he seemed to put so much responsibility on his shoulders to find a cure. Maybe theres another leading story. Could he have been involved with the creation or spread of it…..

We already knew how The Star Wars Prequel-igies end. Then again I went to see them simply because they were “Star Wars.”

As for a prequel…sure, but I don’t see it being more than a chase around the city. Couple of jumpy moments and barely escaping. I can’t even come up with anything creative that wasn’t a)done already or b)would go against what we learned in the previous one. They would almost have to do it right after the evacuation meaning more people and watching them get infected which would be a mirror of what happened to the dog.

The dog would also be a puppy then, meaning it would be kind of useless. Hell the whole city is in chaos, he could probably get a new companion from either the pet shop or the zoo. Maybe a trained Hawk…or a penguin. I think I’ve lost my mind. But either way, I was luke-warm about a prequel before writing this and now thinking of the possibilities, I don’t really see myself being interested in it.

We all want to see a film where we know a character (and his dog) will not die in it, thus there is no suspense. If any new speaking characters are introduced, we know that they will be dead at he end of the film and that it contradicts the first. (The first film HAD flashbacks). Gotcha.

We want to see a film how the character built his house into a lab and fortress, even though it is totally unnecessary, isn’t all that exciting, and that in the first film, we already seen how effective those defenses were. I get it.

We want a film that is meaningless ( “not a legend yet”-that’s good, Rodney.) for tone and character. We want a film that robs away the mystery of the infected. We want to see Emma Thompson suffer! hey, I understand this “prequel” idea well.

Let’s waste our money and make it.

So what?

So what if we can’t make a film that shows Neville didn’t die in the explosion but has second to third degree burns and is running alone and wounded in an empty city with 1,000 + infected out to kill him? With no fortress? With no cure (he passed it on for delivery) but with knowledge on how to make more cure samples if given the time and chance? So what if we can’t make a film that will show the “survivors” encampment and how they cope with life?

Forget all ^^^ that. We do want a prequel. The votes are in. We also want an alternate ending. We love those too.

>:(

I’m not saying the film would be good, I didn’t even particularly like the first one. Just that the potential is there to tell an interesting story.

Fine. Do it. Will Smith needs a new flop.
