Independence Day 2 announced
Set for July 3rd 2015. Will Smith will not be involved....seems like a colossal mistake to me.
http://www.nydailynews.com/entertain...#ixzz2X02EQ7As The next alien invasion will have to happen without Will Smith. "Independence Day 2," which was recently set for a July 3, 2015 release date by 20th Century Fox, will not feature the original film's above the marquee star, director Roland Emmerich confirmed to the Daily News. "Will Smith can not come back because he's too expensive, but he'd also be too much of a marquee name," said Emmerich, while promoting his latest film, "White House Down." "It would be too much. "We have like maybe half of the people that you know would know from the first film (in the script) and the other half people who are new," the German director added. The filmmakers are hoping the sequel to 1996's "Independence Day" - which grossed a whopping $817.4 million during an era of cheaper ticket prices and helped launch Smith's career as an A-lister in Hollywood -- will be the first of a two part story, tentatively titled "ID Forever, Part I" and "Part II." Screenwriter James Vanderbilt ("The Amazing Spider-Man," "Zodiac") is in the midst of polishing the original script by Emmerich and producer Dean Devlin. "We're not doing a total reboot, we're doing something that's totally unusual said Emmerich. The director wouldn't divulge what would be totally unusual in the plot of the new movie; there was one nugget, however, he didn't mind divulging. "I think some aliens will be back," he said laughing. Read more: http://www.nydailynews.com/entertain...#ixzz2XGnVpZfK |

By the time this comes out, there will be college students who probably have never seen the first one because it came out when they were 3-4 years old.

I know, it was on the other night. I was being partly sarcastic... but it's always a bit funny when sequels come along 20 years down the line. There will probably be kids out there who have little knowledge of the first film.

I like it.
ID4 was badass back in the day, a classic Will Smith movie. Unfortunately, Emmerich has fallen down the reerun ladder with his last few movies, although they all gross a shit ton. |

I'm looking forward to it, but in an awesomely bad sort of way. I would almost rather the reviews be terrible.

It's not like he's pretending to peddle high art and delivering stinking shit like that hack Shyamalan. |

The thing that bothers me most about Emmerich is that he's been too preachy lately with "Day After Tomorrow" and "2012". 10,000 BC was the dumbest movie ever. |

Here's a question for you, Dane. How the **** is M. Night Shyamalan still able to make movies? I mean, he's like a modern day Ed Wood at this point.
