Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin want to make Independence Day 2 (ID42?)

Re: Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin want to make Independence Day 2 (ID4

^ So in other words, he was too expensive... ;)

^ Maybe the nuke by itself wasn't big enough to take out the mothership, but it set off a chain reaction that did?

Will Smith is rumored to have been paid 100 million for Men in Black 3 (20M upfront and the other 80M from box office results). At that rate, the ID42 producers were NEVER going to able to afford him!:rommie:

Do you think that Bill Pullman could do his castmates from the cancelled sitcom 1600 Penn a solid and cast them as his family in the Independence day movie?
 
Re: Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin want to make Independence Day 2 (ID4

Bill Pullman and Jeff Goldblum? Even if this is terrible it will be great.
 
Re: Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin want to make Independence Day 2 (ID4

Can Bill Pullman play the child molester from Torchwood, now elected President?????
 
Re: Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin want to make Independence Day 2 (ID4

Of course he can, Bill can do anything.
 
Re: Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin want to make Independence Day 2 (ID4

If Will Smith really was given that much money for MIIIB than Will Smith is a fucking cock. :lol:

After Earth will hopefully make him realize that he's isn't God's gift to mankind or movies.

If they are all under 20 than maybe. His first wife is dead, so he would have had to get remarried and have some kids.
 
Re: Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin want to make Independence Day 2 (ID4

That would be sweet. 1600 Penn was like ID4 1.5 to me. Doesn't work exactly, but close enough!
 
Re: Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin want to make Independence Day 2 (ID4

I don't care if Will Smith comes back or not. I'm just thrilled Jeff Goldlum is back! I'm sold already. :D
 
Re: Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin want to make Independence Day 2 (ID4

I think one sequel (let alone two) to this movie is a bad idea. Didn't the prime opportunity for this evaporate around the time Emmerich and Devlin were wasting their time with The Patriot and Godzilla?

That said, the original is a fun, jingoistic blast. If a sequel can approach the tone of the original, it might be fun. Let's just hope they get the cast right, because like the best 70s disaster movies ID4 was partly modeled on, getting a terrific group of actors is key.
 
Re: Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin want to make Independence Day 2 (ID4

Wow this again? They come out and say that they want to do a sequel to ID4 every six months. Six months after that it's Stargate.
Ah, but ID4 WAS the sequel to Stargate (and 10,000 BC was the prequel :p)
 
Re: Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin want to make Independence Day 2 (ID4

It was a catalyst for whatever power supply the ship was using. (How they knew what that was, where it was vulnerable, and that a chain reaction would occur is something else entirely.)
 
Re: Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin want to make Independence Day 2 (ID4

Shouldn't the sequel come out July 3rd 2016? Why are they releasing it on the 19th anniversary instead of the 20th?

Adam Baldwin needs to be back and be promoted to General in charge of the Earth Defense Fleet.

Because it's a two part movie and the third will come out then.

There's still a lot of storytelling left to be told, too.

All we saw was them (likely) destroying the mothership and one of the cityships. There were still plenty of their fighters zipping around, and there were very likely survivors after the cityship went down. It's also unlikely given the dialogue that every other cityship was attacked during the admittedly short amount of time it would take the cityships to recover their shields after losing connection with the mothership, though the general tactic of launching weapons at their megaweapon just as it was firing as I can't imagine that working with their shields up.

And even if they did manage to eliminate all the aliens who came to Earth, they now have access to all sorts of alien technologies which they could have spent the last umpteen years reverse-engineering and perfecting for what could be the rest of their fleet or even just another mothership. If not another invading race altogether. And you just know Earth's flagship (if they have one) is going to be named after Casse.

That's all on top of the storytelling about rebuilding what's left of the world's governments and infrastructure, though I doubt that'd be a part of the movie(s).
 
Re: Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin want to make Independence Day 2 (ID4

*yawn*... wake me when we get a Battle: LA sequel. (Not that we need one, either. :p)

'Til then, I'll stick with The Core, thanks.
