The Zombie Hordes are Coming!!!

Fans eagerly awaited last Sunday's midseason return of "The Walking Dead," AMC's popular post-zombie apocalypse series that follows a group of people struggling to survive amid the hordes of living dead.

But there's more flesh-eating fun ahead. Hollywood will be churning out several zombie movies this year, and a few more releases -- including sequels "28 Months Later" and "Zombieland 2" -- are in the works for 2013.
... The film adaptation of "World War Z," starring Brad Pitt, is set to be released in late December.
And apparently there are plans for a second "I Am Legend" movie.
Naturally, an I Am Legend sequel wouldn't have that much pull without the presence of star Will Smith. But logically, an I Am Legend sequel couldn't really exist with Smith since, as I hope you all know by now, he dies at the end. This notwithstanding, a new I Am Legend film is being planned, with Smith sought to return to the Robert Neville: Zombie-Doctor role he played back in 2007. So are we in for a prequel?
Well, not necessarily. In the alternate ending, Smith's character did not die. And when has something like the inconvenient death of a character stopped Hollywood writers before?
