According to Ain't It Cool News, Smith and writer D.B. Weiss's story was met with reticence by Warner Bros, prompting the pair to change the direction of the plot.
A source revealed: "Smith is actually the one who developed the initial story. It took place several years before the original film and there were still pockets of survivors and the story centred around Smith interacting, bonding, and ultimately failing to save them.
"For months this was the story. Warner's didn't much care for it and Smith and Weiss eventually came on board and all parties agreed to change things up."
The insider added: "Well this change is pretty insane, the film is no longer a prequel, it's a sequel!"
