According to screenwriter Akiva Goldsman, there were plans to produce a followup film with scripts even being written around a prequel and sequel. One prequel involved the outbreak occurring during the Thanksgiving Day parade in New York City, while another focused on the human population becoming low. The latter prequel featured a trip to Washington, D.C. and an infected elephant escaping from the zoo. However, the project was effectively shelved.

Goofs
When Neville is eating cereal he pours on milk. But three years have passed so there would be no fresh milk. However, Anna later mentions that the eggs are powdered eggs, so it is certainly powdered milk that Neville puts on his cereal.

At the beginning, the bridges are blown up to prevent access to Manhattan. At the end, they are seen driving off Manhattan on a bridge. However, only two bridges are shown being destroyed. There are many other bridges that may have been left intact in order to allow (yet minimize) access. (Only the Brooklyn Bridge and Manhattan Bridge are shown to be destroyed. Other bridges, such as the Williamsburg and Triboro, might have been kept but blocked. The intact bridge at the end of the alternate version appears to be the George Washington.)

Q
What song plays during the end credits of the theatrical version?
A
"Redemption Song" by Bob Marley.
Q
Can someone help me to understand the butterfly thing?
A
Butterflies show up in a number of places in the movie. The first butterfly is when Neville's daughter Marley forms one with her hands as the family drives to the helicopter to get out of Manhattan. She says something like "Look, Daddy, it's a butterfly." A bit later, Sam is chasing a butterfly in the field where Neville is picking corn, and Neville drives by a faded sign that features a butterfly and the logo: God still loves you. Towards the end of the movie, some people see a butterfly shape in the cracked Plexiglas when the Alpha male keeps butting his head against it and/or a butterfly smeared on the Plexiglas with the Alpha male's blood. Neville then looks at Anna's neck and sees a butterfly tattooed on it, remembers Marley's words, and decides that it's a sign from God. In the original ending, there was a butterfly on the Alpha female, and people have interpreted the butterfly on the Plexiglas as a sign that the Alpha male is smearing a butterfly on the glass in order to tell Neville that he wants the Alpha female with the butterfly tattoo.
Q
Were the Dark Seekers computer-generated, or were they played by real actors?
A
The infected, or "Dark Seekers," were entirely computer-generated, although part of the time their motion was controlled by actors, using "motion capture" technology.
