We ’ve been dreading the mootedI Am Legendprequel reteamingWill Smithand directorFrancis Lawrence . So we ’re delighted to hear the duo are or else working on a antic pic with a script byAndrew Niccol(Gattaca , Truman Show ) .
According to The Hollywood newsperson , The City That Sailed
follows a New York City street magician whose girl , because of family circumstances , lives in England . In exploring a beacon light one mean solar day , the girl get a line a room with wizardly taper and wish well to be reunited with her father , causing the island of Manhattan to break out and stray across the Pond .
It sounds much , much more interesting than finding out exactly how things got messed up in the run - up to I Am Legend . Of course , this being Hollywood , Lawrence ca n’t simply film an Andrew Niccol script and have done with it — instead , says Variety , the script is being rewritten by Oceans Thirteen writers Brian Koppleman andDavid Levien . But even a dumbed down Niccol taradiddle sounds much , much good than I Was Legend Before I Was Legend . The celluloid may not be their next project , since Lawrence is also talking about directing Water For Elephants , the adjustment of the Depression - epoch circus novel , with Reese Witherspoon starring .
