Despite the fact the bible is slightly lacking in vampires, that’s not going to stop Will Smith adding them in, with a retelling of the story of Cain and Abel, but with bloodsuckers chucked into the mix. Deadline reports the I Am Legend star is attached to produce and star in The Legend Of Cain, but they don’t have many more details other than it’s based on the bible story of the rival siblings, one of whom ends up killing the other, but with vampires.
The script was written by Caleeb ‘brother of Jada Pinkett Smith’ Pinkett and Dan Knauf, with Andrea Berloff brought in to rework it. It’s still fairly early days though, as no director or studio is yet attached.
It’s a slightly odd idea for a movie, but it’d be interesting to hear exactly how they think it’s going to work, as presumably it’s not set back in bible days.
