A remake of the 1983 movie WarGames being developed by MGM has found a writer and director for the project.

The studio has entered into talks with Arash Amel and Dean Israelite to help them make the remake. Amel previously wrote Erased with Aaron Eckhart and most recently penned the script for Grace of Monaco, the movie about actress Grace Kelly’s as a star of the Golden Age of Hollywood and eventual Princess of Monaco that stars Nicole Kidman. Israelite has mostly directed shorts, with his feature directorial debut, Project Almanac (previously titled Welcome to Yesterday), coming soon.

After I Am Legend pulled in $585 million worldwide back in 2007, it was pretty obvious that a sequel was all but guaranteed.

It’s been a little longer than expected, but now it appears that I Am Legend 2 is picking up speed. It’s being reported that Arash Amel has been hired to write a script for the sequel, and that Will Smith and Akiva Goldsman are attached as producers.
