Smith Locked for Two More Independence Day Movies?
Source: IESB
March 30, 2010

IESB is reporting a rumor that Will Smith has signed a deal with 20th Century Fox to make two Independence Day sequels that would be shot back-to-back.

According to the site's source, if all goes according to plan, the sequel(s) could shoot as early as 2011. Roland Emmerich would again direct after his Shakespeare drama Anonymous. The films would start after Smith completes his next project, which could either be Men in Black 3 or The City That Sailed.

The original film earned $817.4 million worldwide ($306 million domestic and $511.2 million overseas) in 1996.

In other news, I've been watching the X-Files pretty much every day and just finished season 6. It's amazing how much I missed out of the mythology of the series when I first saw it on TV.

This could be good. He did make Stargate but then again he also made Universal Soldier.

Oh, and Godzilla, that is one crap movie.

Emmerich must've realised that natural disasters weren't cutting it anymore and is going back to aliens blowing up cities.

Technically that too is a natural disaster.

Lost interest with Smith since he converted to scientology.

It makes perfect sense in an irrational world.

Well, he's donated some money to Hubologists, but it could as well be blackmail related. Xenuites hold a pretty tight grip on Hollywood's balls.

Scientology is the facebook of religions

Not really. If you join it, you're already dead.

I like the Will Smith/ID pairing. An actor I can't stand in a movie I'm ambivalent about. This will keep him occupied from fucking up other movies I'd actually be interested in.

Smith didn't convert to Scientology, only dabbled in it. Obviously wasn't aware that he had his private sessions recorded, but that truth is out now. If he has anything of a brain, he didn't go any further in it. Jada probably kicked his ass if he attempted to, anyway

Excellent point. There should be a guild for the humane distraction of terrible actors by way of awful film. A malcultural magnet.

better yet, the aleins arent really aliens, but people from the future trying to destroy some public figures in the past so that they dont become mutated "aliens". theyre fighting for their independance!

Independence Day was a good movie but coming back after over 14 years for a movie that never had sequels before and making a huge back to back thing is just uncommon as I don't know of any cases of it happening before. Either way the story is kind of complete and anything more would turn it retarded.

I'm guessing this won't ever get made or is a joke.
