5 Films That Deserve Sequels And 5 That Deserve Remakes

10. I Am Legend - Remake

I am Legend was a really solid action film, as not only did it give us some cool action scenes, it also gave us a slight exploration of loneliness and isolation.

It also included possibly the saddest movie death ever, when Will Smith had to kill his infected dog. Indeed, if we’re all honest about it, a lot of people probably still aren’t over it.

There were, however, a few issues that stopped it from becoming a truly great zombie/action movie, the main issue being the zombies / the infected themselves. While their overall design was good, the fact they were fully rendered in CGI didn’t help the audience’s suspension of disbelief. They were so clearly computer generated, that all tension was lost, and at no point did you feel like they had any real presence in the scene.

Now however, with the vast improvements in creating zombified creatures, in shows like; The Walking Dead, it could well be time for I am Legend film to get a remake, giving the audience the full sense of terror, the original tried so hard to create.

Furthermore, a remake would also offer the chance to develop a more unique take on the genre. The film established that the creatures are actually territorial, and group oriented rather than mindless killers. If a remake did more to explore this, it could change the standard dynamic found in zombie films and add a whole new layer to the film.
