Aw Hell no ! What are they going to show in this one ? More of Smith working out and trying to act like a scientist ? Denise Richards was more believable as a nuclear physicist in that Bond movie. Except for WS fanboys I doubt this is of much interest to anyone else.

You know what? I was incredibly excited when I saw this headline. Even let out a huge AAHHHH.... because i thought it was a prequel to Legend, the tom cruise movie. That would've been something.

How are they doing a prequel though? I mean.. didn't the zombies show up at the start of the movie... they can't really do anything before that, right? Unless they want to show more of the beginning of the plague with people still around but getting wiped out, and instead of seeing that he survived, see how he survives those first couple of years.

They weren't zombies and they'd been around for quite a while at the start of the movie :)
