Akiva Goldsman has returned his production company Weed Road to Warner Bros, in a multi-year first-look deal. Goldsman previously worked at Warner Bros for two decades and will reunite with studio heads Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy. Two of his initial projects will be a sequel to “I Am Legend” with Will Smith and Michael B. Jordan, and a sequel to “Constantine” with Keanu Reeves. Goldsman’s focus will be on IP that can play on a global scale theatrically. Goldsman’s TV deal was previously with MGM, but he is now a free agent as he completes “The Crowded Room” for Apple TV+ and works on “Strange New Worlds” and the final season of “Picard.”
“We’re starting with two projects that are fun and very much Warners; the sequel to I Am Legend, with Will and Michael B. Jordan, and the sequel to Constantine with Keanu Reeves that Francis Lawrence is going to direct. So I’m coming out of the gate fast. We’re doing it with JJ Abrams, and Francis and Keanu and I have been pretty deep in the story breaking stage.”
