Francis Lawrence keeps himself busy, and it shows when you look at his untrusty IMDB page. The director’s name has been tied to a lot of projects in the past few years – Survivor, Sgt. Rock, Houdini, and more — but many of those films aren’t ones Lawrence will be making. In my interview with the director, we spent some time discussing what may be next for him, either Houdini or Unbroken, and why certain projects didn’t come together. First off, Lawrence won’t be adapting Survivor, which he backed away from over two years ago. Not because the project died while he was working on it, but over a tonal issue:

Let’s say you’re a greasy-haired young man of the 1930s, on the cusp of completing your Ivy League studies in veterinary medicine (which is apparently animal doctoring and not war fighter doctoring), when tragedy strikes. Your whole life is stolen away. Your first instinct is to hop on the first train out of town, right? Of course it is. That’s exactly what happens to young Jacob (Robert Pattinson) in Water For Elephants. He loses his parents (the only family he has) and jumps aboard a train in the dark of night only to find out he’s accidentally joined the circus. He proves his worth enough to stay by impressing the iron-fisted ring master August (Christoph Waltz), but he ends up impressing August’s wife, Marlena (Reese Witherspoon), a bit too much, and the elephant pile gets higher just in time for the company to buy an elephant meant to save all of them.

Studios have been afraid for too long. It’s time to put Palahniuk’s long, strange trip into the heart of American commercialism and religion on the big screen.

Earlier this week, we began to hear rumblings about potential reshoots on Jonah Hex. But at the time, there wasn’t much information. Now we’ve got some, and it’s juicy.

Borys Kit over at Heat Vision is reporting today that the long-gestating Sgt. Rock movie is being given to a new creative team by producer Joel Silver.

Will Smith can move islands with his mind. What can you do?

So many questions. So we’ll have to make up answers.

The whispers of a sequel have been floating around, fueled by director Francis Lawrence claiming in an interview that a second Constantine might be an origin story or a continuation. But Keanu has something different to say.

Based on the 1954 science fiction novel by Richard Matheson, Robert Neville (Will Smith) is the last man living in New York City…

When will science ever learn?

To help make things bearable in the slow parts, knock back a few. The film, like anything out there, can be improved with a little help.

The big question is: Is I Am Legend good enough to stand on it’s own? The answer is yes.

Will Smith stars in the third try at a big screen adaptation of Richard Matheson’s famous novel. This time, at least they got to use the right title.
