Independance Day Sequels

ID4 doesn't need a sequel, but if they made one with Will Smith and Jeff Goldblum I'd watch it.
 
Whatever happened to Will Smith anyway?

He had two movies released in 2008, produced Karate Kid, is in pre-production on MIB3, and is attached to more "in development" projects on IMDB than pretty much anyone else in existence.
Damn, you weren't kidding. Most intriguing; Flowers for Algernon - hope they don't try to tear jerk it up more than necessary, and Uptown Saturday Night - old blaxploitation movie that starred Bill Cosby, Harry Belafonte, and Sidney Poitier.

Hope they have a good script this time for the MIB threequal.

I like Calhoun24's version of an ID4 sequel.

"In development" means squat. Vin Diesel has had his Hannibal project "in development" on IMDB for about a decade.
 
Remember the scene in the X-files movie where Mulder was standing outside of a bar pissing on an Independence Day poster? :guffaw: I watched it last night, just thought I'd bring that up.

Didn't Chris Carter say he hated ID4? (Hence that scene in The X-Files). Did he say why?

Because he thought it was stupid? I don't know. Don't get me wrong, I saw it six times in the theater(Of course, I saw everything six times in the theater when I was a teenager, lol), and I love the movie, but it is pretty corny. I don't know why anyone would hate it, though. It's obviously meant to be an over-the-top throwback to 1950's flying saucer movies. So it accomplishes what it set out to do.

It's kind of like the way people always diss the 1960's Batman series, as if the people who made the show were taking it seriously. It was supposed to be campy and fun and ridiculous. People just don't get that.

Plus he's already got more money than god and would probably like to spend time with the wife and kids.
 
I could never make it through an episode of X-Files, I thought it was just about the most boring show on the air at the time. I am however happy it exists for those who do enjoy it.

just thought I'd bring that up.

He was doing well in Hollywood but then he got in one little fight and his mom got scared, so he had to go and stay with his Uncle and Aunt in Bel Air. Which naturally has delayed some projects.

I recall reading where he was taking time off to be with his family and to focus on his production company (he produced his son's Karate Kid remake).

He has a few projects in development for 2011.
 
they DID make an "ID-5" Much like Eddy Murphy and Pluto Nash Will Smith is using all his pull to keep it from being released
 
I loved ID4, I saw it 4-5 times in the theater. I just watched it on the 4th of July as I do every year. I would love to see a sequel although I am not sure how they would do it.
 
one interesting way would be they find a mostly whole database in the pieces of one of the ships.
they find the path the aliens had taken and the path they planned after earth along with scouting reports.
the humans use this along with some surviving ships to contact the next race or two on the list.
so if the aliens do come back they might have a bit of suprise on their hands.
