 In April 2014, the studio attained a script entitled "A Garden at the End of the World", described as a post-apocalyptic variation of "The Searchers".Studio executives found so many similarities to "I Am Legend" in the screenplay, they had the author Gary Graham rewrite it so it could serve as a reboot of the story, hoping to create a franchise with the new film.Will Smith, who is known for his reluctance to appear in sequels, has not commented on whether he would appear.
