The actor will also produce the feature film which will be released next April.
โIt will start a few decades later than the first feature film,โ Goldsman explained. “I’m obsessed with The last of us, where we only see the world after the apocalypse, but also after a lapse of time of 20-30 years. You see the earth straightening up and there is something beautiful about it, as man moves away from being the dominant inhabitant. It will be mostly visual in New York. I don’t know if they’ll go up to the Empire State Building, but the possibilities are endless,” he said.
The screenwriter also revealed that the upcoming feature film will place heavy emphasis on the alternate ending and not the one that was released in theaters. โWe’re going back to Matheson’s original book and an alternate ending instead of the ending published in the original film. What Matheson was talking about was that man’s time on the planet was already over. This is something very interesting that we are going to explore. There will be a little more fidelity to the original text,” he commented.
